The vivid red color of the little girl’s dress naturally draws the eye towards the center of the poster first. The young child clutches on to a doll which already falls halfway under the shadow of the swastika. The doll signifies her innocence and childhood and the shadow suggests that the war will cause a loss of innocence and a termination of her childhood. This appeals to the protective instinct within adults as it amplifies the danger of the little girl’s circumstances, using her worried facial expression to further stress the urgency of the threat of war.…

The statement that The Vietnam War was unwinnable is true to some extent. The Vietnam War was a 20 year long war which lasted from 1955 to 1975. There were multiple factors that attributed to the conflict being unwinnable, these include the nature of the Vietcong fighters, the strong protest movement and the role of the media in shaping public opinion.

After reading the first four sections of “The Vietnam Wars” I can infer that the Vietnamese are extremely persistent people that are not likely to surrender. I can infer this because of several pieces of information, the first being the actions of the Vietnamese people during the 1945-1954 battles against the French and Americans. During this war, the Vietnamese had significantly less technology than their current opponents, but instead of surrendering to the French they made use of their land and defeated the anti-communists. The second piece of information that helped me infer this is simply the dates of the war against the Chinese. If Vietnam was not extremely persistent and kept hope for independence, the constant battle against the Chinese…

In his Nobel Prize speech, William Faulkner said that it is the writer’s duty to write about “love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice” (par. 3) and that anything other than those “problems of the spirit” are not worth writing about.

The book takes place in the 1860’s-70’s centered around the maturation of a young boy named Bayard. His resilience, maturity, and basic capability to function as a person of free will is tested numerous times throughout the stories. “The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things.…
He wandered along the uneven sidewalk Covered with cracks and holes Which had not been repaired Since the October of 5 years ago He infused the sun rise with shades of Red, pink, and orange Bringing colour and grace into the Usually dull and anguished dawn Mended shattered hearts Filled hollow souls Even the formerly flourished land, now desolate Regrew from his enchanting effect He never requested something in return For making my world impeccable But then again, a 100 years of slavery Could not come close to his services Yet, he didn’t have the ability…
Gassed is a painting by John Singer Sargent, an American artist. Sargent was among several artists who were commissioned by the British War Memorial Committee of the British Ministry of Information. These painters were commissioned to create a large painting for the Hall of Remembrance, Sargent himself was asked to create a piece depicting Anglo-America co-operation.

One of the only scenes Sargent saw where American and British soldiers were working alongside each other was the aftermath of a German barrage that he witnessed in August…
