Nurses’ and doctors would perform triage to determine where and how the patient was to be sent; improper evacuation could and did lead to troops losing their lives. With what little tools the surgeons had they used them to operate on troops that were seriously wounded, stabilized them just to send them to an evacuation hospital, with only about 8 operations a day patients were stacking up. This war was the first to use air evacuation, with many dangers obvious: enemy fire, crashing, and little surgical tools on board leaving nurses to critically think and improvise on the spot. With these dangers in plain sight, only 46 soldiers died on route out of 1.1 million (bellafaire), nurses did their jobs right. Overall nursing in World War II created many opportunities.

An American Prejudice: Colombians as Drug Dealers There are different stereotypes around the world, people judge a whole nation only based on the behavior of a couple of its habitants. Drug trafficking became predominant around the end of the 1950’s and the beginning of the 1960’s Colombians being a key group on this business, and as time passed more Colombians were getting arrested due to drugs possession. Therefore, Americans have created a prejudice: Colombians as drug dealers and in order to change this perspective of Americans about Colombians, Colombians themselves should work together and educate some Americans that think this way. There is a way to keep this prejudice from spreading to other American citizens, by educating Americans about the Colombian culture. I would expose this stereotype by presenting the problem and its causes, the prejudice and how it affects Colombians; the counterarguments, is it offensive or not to Americans.
This shows that Shannon displays the “double whammy” effect that women with PTSD can suffer from.

Esther is Ishmael's nurse at Benin House, the rehabilitation center where he is brought after the war. She treats Ishmael's wounds and encourages him to talk about his experiences. “I told her the whole story about how I got shot, not because I really wanted to, but because I thought that if I told her some of the gruesome truth of my war years she would be afraid of me and would cease asking questions” (Beah 155). At first Ishmael only wanted to scare her but after a while he realized that she really does care for him. There relationship became possible because of a quiz that the kids at the rehabilitation center took.
Simultaneously, the Plague is killing many people each day in the town, and Anna is doing her best to help everyone. Geraldine Brooks uses symbolism to show the inner workings of Anna’s mind as she attempts to survive in the isolated town by sending Anna into a similar situation as she enters the mine. “The air was already still and stale, just a few feet in from the shaft, and as I sat there in the muck I could feel the panic rise.” (178) The mine—cold, dangerous, and the unknown to Anna—is something Anna goes into without warning. She only learns a few hours that she will have to go in before she can deal with her fear and must gather the courage and strength to look past herself and help others. Comparatively, she is unexpectedly thrown into the unknown when her family dies and she is left to help the community and forget about her needs.

“Lenina was left to face the horrors of Malpais unaided” (111). For Lenina to see woman breast feeding their babies and families gathered around to watch, it just made her more disgusted. In the State Lenina lives in, families and emotions like love and relationships are prohibited and prevented.

However, because she forgot her soma, she had to suffer through the ceremony and all the horrible thoughts that came to her
They saved the meat for another time when they were rally starving. The two women knew they could not stay here in this awful place were there tribe left them, they needed a place with a little life such as the river. This trip to them was the worst. They made snow shoes to help them throughout the trip and each night they would dig themselves a pit to sleep in and to keep the cold from killing them. When morning hit each time the women were weaker and they had to build up the courage to get up every time because they knew if they were not moving then they would die for sure.
The first idea to talk about is how the Civil War happened to help the women’s status upon society. When Civil War had taken place, all the men in the households were gone and thus left the women to take control. As women were left home alone with the children, they felt kind of useless due to the fact there is a war going and they thought there was nothing they could do to help. Those women who did try and help on the battlefield were primarily used as nurses. At first, female nurses weren’t used at first since they use male nurses rather than female nurses, who were in fact much cleaner than the males.
