Although Ann (case study 1) fits in with the government definition, she does not see herself as a carer. This is a common feeling among people who care for family members. My aim is to highlight and discuss some of the difficulties and rewards of caring for a family member. Examples used will be from various sources, including a case study of Ann Walker, research studies by Hussein et al (2002), Townsend (1957) and Dutch et al (2006). There are many difficulties and rewards of caring for a family member, this depends on many factors; who are you caring for, if you are close to them, how much choice you had in becoming a carer, if you had to leave your job, personal attributes and how other family relationships are managed.
According to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, war is described as “a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism; a state of usual open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations; a struggle between opposing forces or for a particular end.” This is a logical explanation, but it brings up a question. Is war all bad? Can’t war have good points as well as bad ones? There are good things, too. You don’t believe me?
In the rest of the documents, they are stating about if a war is about to happen and in these they are explaining their war. I believe that these wars are both happening because of teritory. Document 3 (The Art of War by Sun Tzu) is grouped by itself because it doesn't really state whether it's belief is for or against the war. It's using relgion to test the rulers to see who deserves it the most. In the document they are determining that by a set of questions.
He is poking fun at the age old concept of ‘equality,’ one that has inspired wars and movements alike; he accomplishes this by creating a system to make everyone equal, a system that happens to be just as stupid as the idea of ‘total equality.’ Under this system equality is achieved, but it is at the cost of individual freedom and a society full of stupid people, this in-turn creates the situational irony found in the story. The plot of the story itself is a piece of situational irony, however there are many other instances found throughout it, including verbal irony. One specific example of this is when Hazel and George are talking, Vonnegut writes “ ‘I think I’d make a good Handicapper General. (Hazel)’ ‘Good as anybody else,’ said George.” His response to Hazel’s comment is slightly sarcastic, but also ironic, in that she really would be “as good anybody else” because in their society everyone is just as good or bad as everybody else. Another example of this false sense of equality is when George says,
In this extract, Dunmore introduces war into the novel. Already, feelings of confusion and misapprehension are apparent and also foreshadowing of what is to come. As she declares that their country is at war to Anna, Darya herself does not believe the words she is speaking, even though she heard them for herself told by Molotov, the foreign minister.
It confronts me, baffles me and creates many questions in my mind of why? How? These brothers could do such a thing. Due to my context their actions challenge my values and attitudes, and it has succeeded in revealing the horror and the twisted minds of these brothers. The context of the writer is very similar to my own, making his argument more relatable for me as the reader.
However, there is a lot to her past that does not allow her to properly see her own reality. Stout states that, “In reaction to relatively trivial stresses the person traumatized long ago may truly feel that danger is imminent again” (383). However in Julia’s case this is false. Julia believed that adults forgetting their childhood was normal. In Julia’s world she thought the she was living a normal life.
This book was all about Vietnam and to most people Vietnam is really known as the war that we shouldn’t of been in, in the first place in short terms The war shameful war. This war was not like any other wars when the Vietnam soldiers came home they weren’t not treated with respect they were shamed for even going and fighting for it. "My conscience told me to run, but some irrational and powerful force was resisting, like a weight pushing me toward the war. What it came down to, stupidly, was a sense of shame." Chapter 4, pg.
Iran has strict rules for clothes that only women have to follow. In the novel,Persepolisshows the diversity of Iranian people and how religion can go too far, making people lives worse. The war with Iraq made things wicked. Many families decided to move on, and left Iran. While others decided to stay and suffer the cruelty on many aspects during the 1980s.
This is portrayed through WW1, in books such as Quite on the Western Front. “Dying for your country” is a shared saying through countries in war to reduce the sorrows of death. I believe this saying should be completely dismissed, families should realize what and whom there loved ones are dying for. Men should know the truth about war before getting involved. These soldiers can’t be truly fighting for there country when there country is a falsehood.
