The chapter ends with O'Brien telling us what followed Lemon's death: when the unit comes across a baby water buffalo. Rat Kiley, encompassed with anger and gloom due to his friend’s death, shoots the baby buffalo consistently, yet does not fully kill it. These stories reveal that a true war story, is never about war; but rather these stories are about love, memory, and sorrow. More importantly though, we learn that not all true war stories are true. They are what we make them out to be: consisting of fragments of the imagination mixed with some
The author uses events that really happened in the Civil War to bring home the brutality of war--the building of a wall with dead bodies, young men shot in the stomach being left to die, horses being killed to feed starving men. These events must change the men involved. When Charley leaves for Fort Snelling, he is a smiling, fast-talking boy. Once Charley returns home, he is a different man-a broken man, in constant pain, unable to hold a job, and looking forward to his own death. Narrative
There are murders running down with their babies behind their back that have been shot and they didn’t even know cause they were running from this war, fathers carrying their dead sons in their arms. The landscape they love became really scary, there were a strong sense of destructs which is dangerous specially for young people. As Ishmael said this makes it easy for the commander's to take advantage of the children
How he was a dog for every man but with loyalty to no man, having no real master. As the story continues, the once deserted bar begins to fill as word spreads of Red Dog’s imminent death. Many of whom are employees of Hamersley Iron, a major iron ore excavation in progress. As the people come so do the stories, all in the town have a unique connection to Red in some way shape or form. Various miners relate their stories of Red to the stranger; stories of how Red helped with homesickness, was a balm for old hurt wounds, and even matching
Victor was a scientist who lived happily in his mansion; he lived in solitude, just with his dog “William”. One day, little William got lost in the woods and couldn’t find the way back. The next morning, Victor found him dead at the entrance of his mansion. At this point, victor started to get some crazy ideas of reviving his dog through science, and in the long run he became crazy. The entire town where he lived called him “Victor the Mad Scientist”, this because since his dog’s death, he started collecting dead body parts from the cemetery for his experiments.
After he had gotten all his pain out, Rat began to cry. The story has more meaning behind it then just the cruel death of an animal. Rat was feeling so many emotions having to deal with the death of his best friend Curt Lemon. It was a way to vent out some of his pent up aggression. A true war story such as this aimed at a meaning much deeper then what was presented.
Unfortunately, the other three keep a straw in the game for Paul which ends up being the fateful short straw and Paul is murdered and eaten in spite of his protest. This essay will argue that regardless of the difficult circumstances that befell the spelunkers, humans rights were violated, when acting against their morals, they committed murder and cannibalized a friend and the resulting punishment upon their rescue was warranted. The spelunkers' predicament put them in very challenging circumstances to be sure but not severe enough to warrant their criminal behavior. Although, certainly scared the men were not entirely without food and water as they had four Powerbars and access to a small source of "trickling" water. Ultimately rescue happens after 4 1/2 weeks of isolation, though strangely the decision by three of the men to draw straws to see who will be "sacrificed" occurs at just one week into the ordeal.
LA HONORS A TALE OF TWO CITIES WORKSHEET – SUMMERIZER Chapter 9-10 Basically in the beginning Jarvis is frustrated with Cruncher for the little secrets he had been keeping such as grave-robbing other than minding his work at the bank, but Cruncher begs to differ and believes that there are many people involved in the robbing. Carton tells Jerry and Cruncher that he plans to visit Darnay before his execution. So the letter that Manette apparently wrote explains the story of Manettes imprisonment. Also I was confused did both Darnays father and uncle rape the pesant who died because of a fever??? Anyways Manette couldn’t save the life of the young pesant and was arrested because of Marquis Evermonde.
There Tim O'Brien tells the story of Curt Lemon's death at least four times and shows the following feeling of soldiers in Rat Kiley's letter and shooting of baby buffalo . The stories of Curt Lemon's death turn out to be completely paradoxical, because it is obvious how versions contradict one another “when he died it was almost beautiful”, the gore was horrible and stays with me” and also with black humor "Dave Jensen … singing ‘Lemon Tree’ as we threw down the parts" and then, from "it all happen" to "every goddamn detail …. None of it happened. None of it". This may confuse the reader, but Tim O'Brien adds his comments and instructions, repeats them between the storytelling, explaining his approach to express the exact truth of feeling.
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.
