Dunkirk

Sometimes an event is called miraculous when there is no way anyone could survive under those circumstances that Dunkirk was. Let alone a very large amount of people like at Dunkirk and those seamen in The Finest Hours. Dunkirk was a piece of hell. It will be mentioned that survival was enough at one point in the movie. That fact was agreed with by the British citizens and even the newspapers. One of the British citizens, a man, who took a boat out to help like many others were asked to do.

He showed great character in the middle of this even though knowing a good deal about what he was getting into. The man still went after a downed pilot in the water knowing his chute didn't open. His young son who was with him on his boat. He displayed great character as well by holding onto a soldier that was trying to get on the boat in the middle of a plane crash in the water. He got that soldier on the boat. The large amount

Given how many men survived that place, survival is a victory makes sense. Hope is a weapon make sense now because that is probably what kept these men going through all of that. Remember, I said that Dunkirk was a piece of hell.

The soldiers had to escape one thing after another. They went from being okay for a second. Then they were in trouble again. They kept going back and forth like that. So there is definitely a reason after all of that the boats would be a sight of joy for them. What seems to practically be impossible does happen on occasion. In fact, human beings have helped to accomplish that. One example of a human being who has done that is Desmond T. Doss in World War II and he didn't carry a gun. The evacuation of the soldiers at Dunkirk shouldn't have been successful in any way at all. I guess that is one reason why someone would want to make a movie about

    Capturing Readers through Rhetoric The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien holds a collection of fictitious stories that detail the seemingly endless extent of suffering and destruction that soldiers must endure while tangled up in the chaotic corporeality that is war. O’Brien effectively makes these fabricated stories reach out to the reader and ensnare their senses, relating the readers to the novel even if they do not have firsthand experiences with war. He captures the reader by using a proficient collection of rhetorical strategies. Throughout the novel, it appears that O’Brien focuses less on the political aspect of war, and instead concentrates on the people who participated and suffered from the war instead.…

    Over a few centuries, post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) has been known by plenty of names: at first, it stood as “irritable heart” during the American Civil War; later during the First World War, the symptoms were called “shell shock” or “hysteria”. When the Second World War and the War in Korea occurred, the symptoms were labeled as “war neurosis”, “battle fatigue”, and “exhaustion.” Lastly, during the War in Vietnam, “Post Vietnam Syndrome” remained as the last occurrence of names given before PTSD was officially branded and categorized as a war mental illness.

    There are many standout moments that I would like to mention, but first I would like to say that I am very impressed with this film, I always have been wondering all these things and I like the fact that we are learning about them in this class. The first standout moment for me was when the man and his family lost their farm. It called my attention because my family and some families from this area had to go through this same situation a few years ago. Second standout moment: the pilots’ salaries from 16,000 to 22,000 yearly! That’s ridiculous, some of them had to ask for food stamps, some of them have a second job, that remind me a time when a met a paramedic working at a warehouse, I asked him why he was working there, and he told me that he was getting pay more there for opening boxes than saving lives and even though he loved to be a paramedic he needed the money.…

    “One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one” (Agatha Christie). To begin, this quote exemplifies how soldiers are left with the feeling that war solves nothing since the events haunt them through their disabilities. Soldiers are left with a permanent impression on their lives through the injuries they experience from war, like the loss of a limb or nightmares of such tragic events that would scare even the most intrepid(1) soldier. By the same token, this quote illustrates soldiers who are faced with the distress and longing desires to flee from the trauma which they have encountered during their service. The death of those they have fought with, cried with, and faced…

After a series of failed maneuvers, British forces were forced to evacuate at Dunkirk; mainland Europe was being dominated by the armies of Nazi Germany. On June 18, as morale was sinking, newly incumbent British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill stood before the House of Commons to deliver what is now one of the most recognizable pieces of oratory of the Twentieth Century. In his “Finest Hour” speech, Churchill addressed the recent military blunders, and sought to assure Britons that the British Empire would fight with an untiringly, just as they had done a generation ago. The speech was also broadcasted on BBC Radio that evening to reach a greater audience.…

The depth of these authors diction compels the reader to be thankful that they do not have to set foot on the battlefield, presenting the loneliness, anger and confusion of these weakened soldiers. Both Hardy and O’Brien offer the theme of war giving returning soldiers posttraumatic stress in their writings.…
