Personal Narrative: Psychological Re-Writing Of Gorilla Warfare

Decent Essays
I think you guys deserve to know I'm not going to finish that story.

I'm more used to write adventure stories with lots of stuff happening and many POV and I thought I could make something interesting with my psychological re-writing of Gorilla Warfare, but this didn't seem to be the case. Not sure if it's because of the writing or because there's already been way too many fiction written about that episode.

Either way, it was incredible difficult first two chapters to write and since I'm not seeing much support, I'll stop beating the dead horse. But don't worry, Coming Back will continue and my new big adventure is coming in the next

    “Killing the Big One” It was just any ordinary day in January and deer season was in full swing. We had been hunting hard all season and I was still yet to get my first ever deer. I was being patient though and not trying to rush things because even at the sight of deer my heart would start pounding out of my chest! My dad would always remind me “You just have to breath and stay calm then aim at the front shoulder and squeeze the trigger.”…

    Many of the propaganda posters of World War One have symbolism to persuade the viewers to be a participant in the war. One of the propaganda posters made in Germany has a snake with eight arrows and the number eight, entangling the snake. We can presume that the snake is the Alliances and the eight symbolizes the war bond that the Germans were merchandising at that time. You can see that the arrows are piercing the serpent, which symbolizes that the money that is put in the war bond will support the army of Germany to annihilate their opponent. Other posters such as the Australia 's have a gorilla with hands painted red with blood reaching out to the world.…

    F: How does the way O’Brien structures his work inform the themes and messages he develops? The way O’Brien structures his work through the use of narrative storytelling, direct quotation, and recurring motifs help emphasize the themes of post-war hardships, emotional weakness, and guilt . O’Brien uses common motifs of amoral decision making, isolation, and moral ambiguity. The motifs set the path for the book because O’Brien creates a novel about a group of men who endure the mental and physical fight on war.…

    The Thrill in the Kill…….And What it Does After Elham I. 8-1 I’m a deadbeat. There is no way to sugarcoat it (and frankly, I don’t want to). Being as profound and logical as I am, I decided to do something aside from my part-job at a convenience store: rob a bank. I probably would have gotten myself killed, but hey, no more having to reject minors for alcohol, right?…

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her. We had our entire happiness in the future planned out, a dream wedding and all, but maybe that was the reason why I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would be feeling so lost and empty just a few years later, alone and missing a part of myself.…

    As I look up at the sky, which is blood red like the sun stabbed it so it could get away from its eternal partner,I begin to hear the horrible noises of these sky creatures. Their horrible squealing draws everything's attention because it sounds the an incantation to summon the devil from the pits of the underworld. The howling wind joins in trying to make the summoning happening quicker but instead it makes me feel like my ears are going to bleed and starts to cast a sleeping spell on anyone caught in this siren song. The trees become alive to this bewitching tunes as their rodent inhabitants begin to run around trying to attack one another like wolves attacking a deer. Next door the neighbor’s rowdy brats come outside, probably because this is their favorite tune, with their wild and atrocious dog to play game of run around and destroy the yard or as most call it fetch.…

    It was a rainy morning in Seattle, and I wore my Army dress uniform. Stepping off the bus, I ran 100 yards to the entrance of the Airport. After I purchased my ticket and checked my bags, I headed to the bar. It was the time of the winter equinox, and I was headed home with my discharge in my duffle bag. I suppose I should have worn my civilian clothes, but I had been stateside six months, and the comradeship I experienced in Vietnam had yet to loosen its grip on me.…

    Others may think quilts are not extremely fascinating because to them they are nothing more than blocks sewn into pieces of woven material. But it is the memories stitched into each section that gave our particular quilt the significant ability to fill my family and I bodies with tenderness and warmth. My family had trouble before the quilt came into our presence. The Slaughter Clan didn’t get along much and we bickered like cats and dogs. Even once, my Grandpa Sam threated to throw a beer bottle at my Uncle Williams head for being late to our family reunion in Tulsa, Oklahoma.…

    In chapter two, “War Makes You an Animal”, Junger describes how communities react to different situations. Whether it be due to a war or natural disaster, individuals are often brought together in times of need and despondency. Junger addresses the connection between war and happiness, finding that individuals are surprisingly happier during times of war. Regardless of race, class, religion, or gender, The “community of sufferers” that rises when faced with complications and adversity, pushes individuals to utilize their animal-like ancestral instincts (Junger 53). Allowing people to band together regardless of race, class, religion, or gender.…
