Remembrance Day Analysis

Decent Essays
Remembrance day is a time to remember all the soldiers
Who sacrificed their lives to bring peace to this world
From every bloodstains
Guns and bombs
Smeared the colour red all over these battlefields
Too many wars
Too many lost love ones
The smell of blood reeked from this aftermath
Left us with these memories of all our fallen comrades
That will never forgotten
The fights
The cries
The flag rises once again
Love war and Peace
Nothing really seems to change anymore
When the poppies grow and grow
The crosses will be hung up in row by row
Now, let breathe in a minute of silence
To absorb all feeling of every war and what is war truly define as
And see the names of many soldiers being craved on these stones
Buried with courage and dignity

Our heroes risk their lives not only at war, but at home. While our veterans are out fighting for our freedom, they cannot be at home supporting and making great memories with their families.…

    It is important to honor our veterans because they risked their lives for our freedom. Without them, we wouldn’t have won a lot of wars. Luckily, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday so we have a set day to celebrate our veterans. Then in 1954 President Eisenhower changed it to veteran’s day to honor all veterans, rather than just from WW1. This is why it’s important to honor our veterans.…

    “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him,” said G.K. Chesterton. A love for their country is why my veterans serve. It never really sunk into me how much veterans sacrifice for us. I think that we need to show as much respect to people that have served in the military forces to make us be able to be free. Or be able to pursue whatever we would like to.…

    The Consequences of Corrupt Conflict All Quiet on the Western Front, a war novel written by Erich Maria Remarque, incorporates a plethora of similar and contrasting ideas to many other renowned war texts. With new machinery and combat techniques introduced for the first time during WWI, the battle Remarque writes about had far more casualties than anyone had ever anticipated. Machine guns, flamethrowers, and particularly poison gas took millions of lives on the battlefield. All of this, in turn, caused conditions to be vile in WWI. The authors of other war literature also illustrate how the harsh realities of war heavily impact soldiers, but they refer to different wars and accounts of war when doing so.…

    What is Patriotism? Patriotism is the love of one's country over all things. None of the young soldiers in All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Remarque, are painted as patriots. Instead they are instruments of elected or appointed politicians who use their own stilted sense of patriotism to encourage young men to then give their lives to defend the country. In this setting, acts of patriotic heroism are thus made pathetic because they are made for no positive outcome.…
