The child is presented using emotive language. “It was no place for rest. With sobs and tears the boy came seeking comfort and I saw white blisters beaded on his tender skin. We soothed him till his pain was not so raw.” These soothing sounds emphasises the love his father has for him and how he wants him to recover quickly. The ‘watery grin’ is another emotive description also serving as an opposing image.

This means he is described as fragile and precious because of his injuries, with his punctured lung described as delicate as “parachute silk”. These images show Laura’s tenderness for her husband and how she wants to protect him. Similarly, Scannel also chooses imagery of war for what is really only a minor childhood incident. He refers to the spears of the nettles, calling them a “regiment” and, when he has cut them down and they have grown back again, he refers to them as “tall recruits”. This war and battle imagery used in the poem helps the reader to understand deeper, about the metaphorical meaning of this poem; that it is not just about comforting his son from the pain of the nettles, but also about the future pain of which he knows he will experience in his life.

She stood by him until his breath helping him bear the agony of his inevitable and anticipated death. These examples of her charity instill feelings of understanding and pity for John. The other side of Alcott's appeal to emotion is John's mentality. John questions the nurse in reference to the battle: ".do they think it will be my last?" He seems eager to return to his position and fulfill his duty.
And I was glad that Rabbi Eliahou should continue to look for his beloved son. And, in spite of myself, a prayer rose in my heart, to that God in whom I no longer believed. My God, Lord of the Universe, give me strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahou’s son has done.” From that point on, he made it his duty to take care of his father. So, what is love you ask? Love is many things that you can describe a thousand different ways.
He was constantly trying to prove to himself, God, and the rest of the world that he was not a coward. He did this by not leaving dangerous situations. He feels that trying to prove himself to not be a coward made him become such an overbearing and abusive father, husband, and pastor. In return the children and mother felt embarrassment for having to listen to his jacked up sermons knowing that Congolese people don’t know right from wrong. The mother understood that the Congolese people did have spirituality and they did have a God.
As said by Owen Felltham, “Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolve.” Foremost, Jimmy Cross shares several links to Jesus Christ. In times of great stress a single person takes the brunt of the guilt or punishment for the good of the people, which is exemplified in both “The Things They Carried”, and in the bible. As Ted Lavender dies, Cross voluntarily takes responsibility for the death so that his men will not have to share in his burden. Jimmy Cross also assumes a great personal sacrifice by burning
Yet by the end of the novel, he matures and decides to redefine what he believes courage is because of the traumatic and courage-demanding scenes that tell the story in the Red Badge of Courage. Henry really shows off his immaturity when the story reads, “...at times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be particularly happy. He wishes that he, too had a wound, a red badge of courage.” (100) This shows how simple-mindedly Henry perceives the war and that he is still caught up in his goal of becoming wounded or worse so that he can call himself “courageous”. This evidence also displays that he is fearful about actually going out onto the battlefield, and that he is striving to just gain respect from the other soldiers.
