However it causes me great sorrow that we have lost 3500 of our own men. All of us fought in this battle to show that we were capable of planning and carrying out a successful attack. Throughout this war, I was scared Emily because my life was under constant threat, bullets were being randomly fired at us, I was seeing men die all around me from a bullet or because of fever and disease, I am thankful and proud that I survived this war. I love you so much and I can’t wait to see you and the children at
The Sinking of the Lusitania Throughout the history of the world, many ships have sunk. Many sunk in battle and many sunk on accident. But, in the case of the Lusitania, an enemy of the cruise liner’s owner deliberately torpedoed ship full of civilians. During the events of WWI, the Germans sunk the Lusitania, a British cruise ship sailing from the United States to England that contained many American passengers. Many people, especially Americans, believe that Germany killed the passengers on the Lusitania for no apparent reason.
Elizabeth: John, I still love you and in due time it will be as if this never happened, you must prove yourself again. John: Ok I will do this then. Turning away from her shouting. ABIGAIL! Abigail enters.
A Letter from the Trenches Dear Mom and Dad, I miss you both so much and I think about you all the time. I hope you both are well. We arrived in Belgium a couple of days ago and I thought I was going to pass out from the smell. Many of the men were sick. To describe the smell would be an impossible task but with the dead bodies rotting in shallow graves and lying out in the open in no mans land, the smell of gunpowder, cigarette smoke, mud, and the gas that lingers for a few days after an attack might give you an idea of how bad it is.
However in my opinion this is not what one should take away from the poem. In fact the literal meaning is much deeper and darker than one may think. The literal meaning of the poem to me is the justification for mass murder of the Jews during World War II by the Nazis. The first stanza seems to show the farmer wants to rid of the woodchucks quickly and effectively without spending too much time on them. In fact the poem states “The knockout bomb from the Feed and Grain Exchange was featured as merciful, quick at the bone”.
instead of "yea, i regret never going on a cruise or telling my sister how I really felt. If I could go back, I'd make those changes." Those are facts of lives. Sommers says that we can't change them and we should just embrace them. They make up our dictionary or encyclopedia or movie!
Sadly a lot of lives were lost. But the good thinking that did happen was that the British retreated and we gained our rights back and never had to answer back to the British ever again. Epilogue: A few years after the war ended Revere retired from war and his trade.

However, Sally Carrol loves going to the cemetery where she feels comfortable. Sally says, “Even when I cry I’m happy here, and I get a sort of strength from it” (Fitzgerald Chapter Ⅱ). In the cemetery, Margery Lee who Sally muses on and those Confederate soldiers give Sally the courage to pursue a better life. Although those soldiers are unknown after they die, they indeed die for the most beautiful thing in the world---the dead South. People always have dreams and they fight for their dream.
It had a drastic effect on the United States. Families were torn apart, peoples lives were changed because of injury, and 620,000 people died. Walt Whitman captured many of these things in the poems he wrote Leaves of Grass, on of the greatest books in American literature. A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim, shows the effects war had on people. An old man fights in the physically demanding war, a teenager's life being changed before it has even really started, both dead because of the war.
And everyone searches for r easons, and scapegoats, and soluti ons, most often punitive. Yet one solution continues to elude us, and that is ending the ignorance about mental health, and moving it from the margins of care and into the mainstream where it belongs. As sure ly as any vaccine, this would save lives. (2) So many have already been lost. This month Kip Kinkel was sentenced to life in prison in Oregon for the murders of his parents and a shooting rampage at his high school that killed two studen ts.
