It was absolutely inspiring to view America’s soldiers fight in a time of oppression and it gave me a way to experience the time similar to how it was: tough and gory. Especially the trench warfare, from trench foot to shell shock, their harsh conditions and fighting…

The adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I couldn’t stop despite the fact that my lungs felt as if there were icy shards lodged in my chest. Haunted figures of the men that destroyed my life as I knew it flashed before my eyes as I lept over crates and pushed down trash cans behind me, my path marked by a riddled maze of rotted food and old possessions. The tears in my eyes were no longer tears,but streaks of moisture…

I really liked how vivid Black Hawk was able to describe the injustices felt by his people. I enjoyed that you mentioned Black Hawk and everyone in the village never were aggressive towards the Americans. Despite the the violence and relocation of Native Americans, the villagers responded peacefully to whites, who were abusing their women, taking their land, and killing their men. It felt really tragic to read about Black Hawk and the pain of the Native Americans, because it was so clear that many of them were striving to co-exist within their own lands. I definitely think you are right!…
Stack sets up Every Man in this Village is a Liar in a sequential and methodical way. The chapters are based on themes, with each chapter focusing on a different country she reported from and her personal interactions and descriptions of her time in them. Despite the sequential setup of the memoir, it still comes off as bouncing from country to country and interaction to interaction. Stack could have included more information between her different narratives rather than jumping between stories. This could have improved how the memoir read, but it still is put together successfully.…

I have a friend who is in the market for a Kowa spotting scope. Sounds simple right? …just send them down to the local store and buy one. Well, it's not that easy.

Good morning Charnele I think you did a great job on comparing experiences of two former slaves. Even though Isom and Alice were in slavery, they both had really good owners that treated them good after the death and separation of their family member. In the narrative you portray slave’s owners in a positive light. I could not image living in slavery but also being separate from my family and not knowing where there are located or how there were doing.…
It started out unexpectedly. The storm racing across the battlefield. The crash of thunder filled the atmosphere with rage. Fog spurred over the plains. The landscape ahead invisible to the naked eye.…
The two movies, “The Whole Gritty City”, and,” Ballou Majestic Knights Documentary” were both movies based on marching bands. They were both expansions on what went on while they were occupied in the band, and what struggles citizens had to go through everyday. Many of the people were faced with social situations, or home and environmental situations. The poverty exchanges in all of the bands, and how the bands were socially developed in different types of ways. The two movies were personally substantial.…
In times of war, the masculine epitome was provided the soldier figure. However in a post-war context, this stable image of masculinity became blurred. The struggle to mentally pinpoint and physically embody an ideal form of masculinity befitting the era is epitomised in Storey and Sillitoe’s protagonists. The multiplicity of male social roles and uncertainty in claiming a specifically male physical space results in embattled narratives of tension and flux. In extension of the developments of the modernist novel, conflicts are most explored in interior monologues, where men appear at their most bitter, defiant and solipsistic.…
