Another example of situational irony is when Collins stopped to give a dying man his last drink. The man had asked Collins for the drink, but Collins had ran past him then doubled back to return to the dying man with compassion. In “Flags of our Fathers” the picture contrasts the short story because it required six men to raise the flag, but it could have been easily done by one. Along with situational irony, the battlefield was also a contrast between the two works. In “The Mystery of Heroism,” on p. 475 it said the war was going on and there were shots fired.
It is interesting to observe the author’s note at the beginning of this publication of his essay; Clark informs the reader that this writing was first published twenty years earlier, and how disappointed he was to realize that the article is just as relevant at the present time as it was then. He presents several additional examples of using writing as punishment, and the “grotesque consequences” (Clark, 2009, p. 4) of such measures, including the Harry Potter movie in which Harry is forced to write the sentence “I will not lie” over and over with a magic pen that would leave bloody marks on his hand with each letter that he wrote, scars that would never heal (Clark, 2009, p. 4). The author begins his essay with a story of two fifth grade girls, researching materials in a school library to use to write a term paper. As the principle
It can have very large impacts on the life of an individual and lead to lifestyle changes. As it can impact on people so drastically, even in modern day society, the audience will often feel connected to the theme of war. In Dawes poem “weapons training”, the audience is thrown right into the military group and shocked into the situation with the drill Sergeants cruel manner. Almost the entire poem is written in one sentence and the harsh language used creates a sense of being yelled at. With repetitive insults such as “queer” and “elephant ears”, it is obvious that the sergeant means business and will not tolerate nonsense.
In order for a student to master fluency they must be able to master the five components of reading as well. All of these concepts work hand-in-hand to master the skill of reading and comprehension.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson has written a rousing poem with an immensely hypnotic beat. The thumping, rhythmic tempo of ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ creates an echoing of the galloping hooves of the chargers. This rhythm supports Tennyson in setting the scene of the battle and contributes to his various uses of metaphors and allusions. Tennyson uses several variations of the biblical shadows “Into the jaws of Death” and “Into the mouth of Hell” throughout the poem. This adds the sense of dread and foreboding of the battle and enhances the audience’s perspective of the cavalry and their bravery during the melee.
‘The Soldier’ was written when the war only started and people tended to believe that that 'the war's going to be over just this Christmas', so the tone of the poem is very optimistic. Some men who had been restless before the war believed that fighting for their motherland and for justice can enable them to spiritually stand up again – 'all evil shed away', as the poem suggests, 'in the hearts at peace.' 'Does it Matter' was written in 1916 as people began to see the horror of war. They started to realize that the war was not a knightly adventure they’d expected. Soldiers frequently got injured and lots of them died in battles or of illness in the deplorable conditions of the army.

He is almost completely shunned from the town because he is trying to help a black man accused of rape. Mayella had told Tom, “I said come here, nigger, and bust up this chiffarobe for me, I gotta nickel for you.” (p.241) She had tricked him to coming over to her. Then that’s about the time when she accuses him of rape. He had felt sorry for her, which is why he was falsely accused in the first place. Courthouse segregation was one of the biggest bits of racism I found in this book.
