Overarching questions about both episodes: 1. Why did Albert Kahn send photographers around the world for two decades? Give at least two reasons. Albert Kahn sent photographers to promote peace between different cultures.

Writers often find inspiration for their literature through their imagination, people they meet, or past experiences. Ernest Hemingway’s past experiences encouraged an abounding works of short stories, non-fiction, and novels. Considering him being a war veteran of World War I, his short story Soldier’s Home is similar to his struggle through reconnecting with his home town. Even though the main character is Krebs, there are several indications that he is a reflection of Hemingway’s 20 year old self. There is evidence as to this assumption between Krebs and Hemingway: actions, thoughts, and emotions.…
I believe that Australia getting involved in world war one was not a good idea, we lost so many men because of itand there was so much grief. Gallipoli impacted Australia in many ways, some good, some bad, but it did help shape our identity and it gave us the chance to show the world we weren't useless we were strong, brave, hardworking men proud to do Australia and the British empire…
There were many factors that contributed to the entry of the United States into World War I. One of these reasons did include the press coverage of German atrocities; however, I would argue that there were other contributing factors of greater importance to the reversal of Wilson’s neutrality and the entry into World War I. As the Great War progressed, the American media used its national platform to expose the American population to the war that raged on in Europe- through the Federal government, which created the Committee on Public Information in 1917. It ensured that all media was censored with the intention of preventing any non-Allie support whilst also creating a heinous image of the German ‘Huns’. The German atrocities that went on in Belgium were an incident that the American press used to form the basis of anti-German propaganda.…
Robert Capa is one of the most well known war photographers. He was a photographer in five different wars, such as the Spanish Civil War, WWII, and the Sino- Japanese War. He brought a lot of controversy with his photos with some critics even saying he didn’t take some of the photos, but either way he had a huge impact on how we view the war and definitely gave us insight on what goes on. Born October 22, 1913 In Budapest, Austria Hungary into a Jewish family, his love for writing and the arts started early.…
France played a major role in WWII, whether it was trying to save all of Europe by not letting Nazi Germany invaded Poland without a consequence. Maybe it was their desire for a free France that made them create a resistance that inspired others to do it against the Nazis as well. Also, one of the greatest military operations in history took place in France in order to continue the liberation of Europe. France entered WWII in September 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland and France declared war on Nazi Germany. They believed that it was their duty to try and protect the peace of Europe, but most importantly their homeland.…
Faulkner and Hemingway were two talented and well-known authors of their time.

Their distinct styles are brought together through their vivid descriptions of life that have evolved the industry of american literature. Hemingway’s choice of syntax in Farewell to Arms, influences the style and tone of the novel. “We think.…
All his previous experiences ultimately helped his work because he could relate to people. Born in 1902 and raised in California, John Steinbeck lived a normal life. “Steinbeck decided to become a writer at the age of 14, often locking himself in his bedroom to write poems and stories” (“John Steinbeck Biography” 1). From a young age all he had was charisma for writing and knew he wanted to pursue that.…
I. He is familiar with the settings of his novels because he once lived within them. As a result of writing for a newspaper company in his younger ages, Hemingway developed a unique style that is direct and seems “simplistic” to many. However, there is much more beyond the words in Hemingway’s novels that takes deep analysis and careful reading to pick up on. The statements previously made by Ima Whyner about Hemingway’s sentence structure, dialogue, descriptions, and themes are inaccurate and untrue.…

Affirmation- “A new kind of modern-day hero had been born. Poets and artists alike now identified the aviator with a list of familiar flying personalities, including Arabian princes on flying carpets, Perseus and his winged sandals, Wagner's flying Valkyries, Icarus, and countless angels and archangels.” The idea of aviation and pilots as the new heroes during World War 1 resonated me. In the current world, aviation is not big of a deal anymore and many of us don’t appreciate it as much as it was first created.…
Ernest Hemingway, a prominent figure in the American modern literature, has an outstanding writing style and a verification of that is the literature Nobel Prize he won in 1954. His writing career as a journalist has strongly influenced his novels and short stories. The telegraphic and minimalistic technique of writing combined with the powerful presence of nature and his iceberg theory have distinguished him from other authors of the time like F.S.Fitzgerald. “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” is exemplary for Hemingway’s writing experience. The story is about the married couple of Francis and Margot Macomber who has decided to go on an African safari altogether with the professional hunter and guide Robert Wilson.…
