Action Andy Analysis

“Ah, I see you are ready to go, Nightingale Sapienti,” Action Andy said to Virgil, dressed in the ceremonial uniform of his all-boy Catholic high school in Wilmington, Delaware. He then smiled, “I hope your time in my outfit would be fruitful one for you.” Virgil returned the favor. “How nice of you, Action Andy,” he told him in a polite one. “What are my orders regarding the Remnants and the South American Catholic school students?” The leader of the Nightingales informed him by saying: “Nightingale Sapienti, high command have requested me to inform you that your orders are to act as the head of RGA Sicherheitsdetachement ‘K’ (Security Detachment ‘Kurfust’) on behalf of our new allies. Their leaders will be attending a scheduled Tridentine Mass alongside members of this Archdiocese’s Catholic School Nobility, at an FSSP parish in King of Prussia. Since the Mass is scheduled to occur at 5:15AM, we expect that there will be very few Laity in attendance.” “FSSP?” a puzzled Silent Orphan responded to his superior, since he was not Roman Catholic, but an Atheist. “Might I ask what kind of Catholic group are they, Action Andy?” “Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri,” Action Andy explained to the newly recruited Nightingale, “It’s Latin for ‘Priestly Society of St. Peter’. They are one of the few traditional Catholic groups authorized by Holy Mother Church to conduct the Tridentine Mass. Now, are there any questions?” It was from here that the Silent Orphan asked his superior an important question. “Will the personnel of Sicherheitsdetachement Kurfust be given service handguns in preparation for the inevitable?” Silently, Action Andy nodded his head in agreement. “Yes, though we will not be expecting anyone to make a strike on the Remnants and the South American Catholic school students at the parish, preferring to make a move in the transit instead. Be prepared for anything, Nightingale.” “Yes sir, Action Andy,” he replied to Action Andy in an enthusiastic voice. “Alright Virgil, you got your orders,” the leader of the Nightingales told him, “Dismissed.” In the concrete hallway outside the Silent Orphan’s suite, Action Andy walked away from Virgil by heading toward the exit on the far left side. At the same time, the Silent Orphan went to the one on the right. Navigating through the empty hallways, whose ceilings had fluorescent lighting and adequate ventilation systems, he eventually made his way away from the more affluent part of the living areas at Underworld. Eventually, he made his way to the commercial areas of the Dweller city, where the sight of restless Dweller city guard patrols, each of them armed with G43 semi-auto rifles and two way radios for communications, greeted him. They conducted their duties as they were ordered to, by the security chief of their Dweller city–none other than the Silent Orphan. Continuing to make his way through the empty hallways and corridors, which will surely be bustling with life in the next few hours, the Silent Orphan soon reached the transportation station of Underworld. There, he took note of a motorcycle that he presumed was a Remnant asset. It was painted …show more content…
“Guten Tag, liebe Freunde,” he said to Brünnhilde and the Silent Orphan.
“Oh, Guten Tag, Walther,” Brünnhilde responded to Walther by speaking to him in German. A conversation ensued between the two, but because Silent Orphan did not speak too much German, he was unable to understand what they were saying. He could not tell if the other three understood German, either.
“We should see to it that Virgil’s properly acquainted with everyone here,” Brünnhilde suggested to Walther, speaking to him in English.
As a show of agreement, Walther nodded his head. “I concur, Brünnhilde,” was his response.
If this was not anymore obvious for the Silent Orphan, this was a cue for the three South American Catholic school students to introduce themselves to him. For this reason alone, Walther felt that it would be best to let the five be. He would soon make his way toward a long table where the Silent Orphan’s foster father, the Godmother, Chandler the Fair, the Dewy-Eyed Princess, Siegfried Hummel and his girlfriend Brenda Brotzman, Dweller High King Hades and Germania were seated. They all sat in a circle of wooden chairs around this

    War, the name itself leaves the man psychologically and physically disturbed. As described by Fritz Kreisler in his memoir “Four Weeks in the Trenches”, war not only bring destruction upon the nations and countries but also destroys the people engaged in the war.

Not all of the men were soldiers, but some were city-bred people living professional life, and some of them were peasants.…

    Amongst themselves, they surreptitiously showcased their prowess at picking the young cadets to lie with them. At the least, this was a shameful act in the military where seniors are expected to lead by example; but worst of all, it is an act of abuse of power which is punishable by legal action yet impunity had reigned to this unfathomable extent. Furthermore, the acts threaten to dehumanize generations of military personnel. The author is concerned about the image of the military, but also more similarly about its functions. He argues that the fact that the conduct of a small group of officers can spread so viciously underlies the truth that confidence in the authorities could easily be lost.…

    Enrich Maria Remarque’s book ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ features Paul Bäumer, a 20-year old German soldier who represents a whole generation of men that history refers to as the ‘Lost Generation.’ Through his character, the author tells a story of men who were destroyed by what is referred to as ‘The Great War.’ For instance, in chapter 2, Paul attempts to describe the difference between his generation and that of the older soldiers and notes that the older soldiers had a life before the war that they felt comfortable and secure (Remarque, 2004). On the contrary, Paul’s Generation did not get a chance to experience that life (Van Kirk, 2011, p. 72). From the start of the story, the life of Paul is dominated by death, horror, suffering, fear, and hopelessness.…

    A moment in the Merlin series that really touched me occurred during season four, episode one, The Darkest Hour, when Percival steps in and saves those three terrified little children from the Dorocha. I found that scene to be a defining moment for Percival, one where his selflessness and gentle heart became apparent. As the show went on, I often wondered, "What happened to those children?" This story features one of the children, Rion (I gave him that name, and have decided to make him a little older for the purpose of this tale).…

Again, what we were trying to do was to present an amusing set of characters in as amusing a background as we possibly could, doing amusing things, to entice that audience to come back next week. (Turner, 1994) Henry Gates expressed in documentary, Color Adjustment,” When we think of this group of people whose historical experience had been transformed by the war (World War II), poised for full integration into the American society, and then we think about, what they were greeted with, as television made its debut.

    Analysis Of A Few Good Men

    Their study follows even more so through the court case and contesting perspectives that differentiate the military from society (Kelman and Hamilton 136). With analysis applied to the lens of A Few Good Men, implications lead one to understand that the use of intimidation and loyalty contribute most prevalently to the authorization and eventual dehumanization present in Rob Reiner’s film and the actions taken by such characters. Although less saturated in A Few Good Men, the depiction of Lt. Col. Matthew Markinson’s respect to his “chain-of-command” is effectively presented by Kelman and Hamilton more so than Zimbardo’s passive interpretation; nonetheless, both considerably explain the use of intimidation to rationalize Markinson’s initiative to follow his commanding officer’s orders. Kelman and Hamilton’s study of similar court cases find themselves dissecting the rationale behind intimidation.…

Activity throughout the night inhibited rest for myself and my fellow men, and the cocktail of misery from yesterday leaves a bad taste in our mouths.
