He begins firing and reloading, firing and reloading, firing and reloading until the enemy is fleeing and his rage has him screaming. The lieutenant of his regiment begins to say if he had ten thousand "Henry's" the war would be over in a week. After a section of the battle is over an officer begins to say that the 304th regiment fight like "mule drivers," deeply insulted Wilson and Henry drive to prove them wrong. Henry attempts this by picking up the flag of the fallen bearer waving in a ferocious manner, but after the charge fails the officer tells the colonel that his men fight like a bunch of "mud diggers." Enraged by this Wilson and Henry begin to say they will prove that they are mistaken.
While “honor” and “self-realization” may be ideological terms often associated with a war cause, “brutality” and “self-scarification” are perhaps more realistic descriptors. The brutal and ferocious atmosphere of war often forces its young soldier constituencies to sacrifice any childish views of life, and mature. Walter Dean Myer’s novel, Fallen Angels, details the tragic loss of innocence of group of young soldiers who, surrounded by the unspeakable horrors of the Vietnam War, are forced to prematurely journey into manhood. Though initially and wholly innocent, the tense atmosphere of war forces Richie Perry and his fellow soldiers to leave behind former romantic views of war and realize its moral ambiguity. A truly unfortunate byproduct
Vernon Scannell also talks about the father’s reaction and what he does. “I took my hook and honed the blade” implies that the father has sharpened his blade for battle with the ‘Regiment of Spite’. The writer also describes the action the father does in order to destroy the nettles. “Went outside and slashed with fury”, the word ‘Slashed’ represents big sweeping movements. Scannell then implies the fact that the father’s work in cutting down the nettles
“rain had called up tall recruits behind the shed,” this quote shows the father cannot destroy them .They differ in the way they felt powerless however as in Nettles the father is feeling powerless because of a physical threat whereas in Harmonium it is an emotional threat of the inevibility of death and unspoken feelings that makes the writer feel powerless. Furthermore they both include the reality of family life as the poems are realistic and the poems, especially Nettles, have both the love and misery of family relationships. In Nettles the love in the poem is the protective instincts of a parent towards his son but the misery is the Nettles that had hurt his child and the fact that being protective isn’t enough to stop him from getting hurt. The realistic relationship in Harmonium is the family resentment and frustration from a son to his father. We can tell that the writer resents and is frustrated by his father as it says “and he being him can’t help but say.......... and I, being me” which shows that he is frustrated at their relationship.
Making Fun of an Audience In Mark Twain’s “Advice to Youth” satire is integrated into the text to make fun of an audience, even though he gives “…Didactic, instructive,” or “Good advice” (291). He criticizes the standard relationship form between children and their parents, specifically attacking the lack of humor between children and parents. When parents take things way too seriously when something “bad” happens which is not the best approach to solve minor problems that arise. Twain is skilled in many different art forms of language. He advises the reader to learn the same skill sets early on in life so that they can take advantage of the opportunities in front of them.
It is almost natural for human beings to care about the way others look at them and to fear the judgments that are place upon them. This fear is a large contributor to the motivations that certain individuals have, consequently affecting their actions. In Hamlet, The Great Gatsby and The Kite Runner, the protagonists Hamlet, Jay Gatsby and Amir are all longing for the love of another, fearing that that individual will judge them for their flaws and mistakes. Both Hamlet and Amir’s main motives result from love of their fathers; Hamlet devotes his life to avenging his father and Amir will do anything to receive his father’s attention and love. Jay Gatsby is also motivated by love, however it is by the love he has for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.
When disciplining a child, parents often seek the best way to get control over their disobedience as soon as they can. A very familiar form of discipline is spanking. If a child is misbehaving, a swat on the bottom may be the first option a parent may go to. What spanking does, ultimately may not give the parent the satisfaction he or she wanted. After spanking children, they will stop what they are doing at the time and will immediately obey their authority.
There should be love between the parents and between the parents and children. Neglecting your son or daughter will shift their attitudes unfavorably. They will live with anger and could become much more rebellious, causing them to make poor judgments or decisions. Those poor choices in life could alter their futures. It is always good for kids to see their mom and dad display affection
There is opposition in the first line, as it defines that his youth is cold and hopeless while youth is usually thought of as energetic and full of hope due to it being the beginning of life. Because of this major opposition in the first line a big impact is created and continued through the whole poem. ‘My cropp of corne, is but a field of tares:’ (Tichborne, 1586), in this line it shows how he feels about his once prosperous youth, by saying it has been turned into a field of weeds means that his life is now useless. It also creates the point that the end of his life has come far to soon since he is still very young. The next line shows how much Tichborne is deliberating on his near fate, especially in connection to how everything he does to try to improve his life has been for nothing.
If they don't realize who is the authority and who is in charge, they will test and push limits and start to rebel much more. From time to time my husband and I spank our children. This is when they are not listening and we feel we have no choice. However, these days teachers and friends, who have their own kids, are doing things differently. They admonish us for "hitting" our kids and tell us about other options.
