They told the announcer to refer to them as the Wizard Lettuce Appreciation Society or WLAS for short. With a shake of his head and a condemning scorn the announcer agreed and told the brave adventurers to make their way down to the arena and prepare for the fight. The group took up they’re battle formation forming an almost diamond shape. Across from them stood five mostly naked men who were clad only in loin cloths. They held only the most rudimentary of weapons, three possessed spears and two held slings. All of the men looked terrified and desperate, dirt and grime caked their bodies, and their eyes were wide and darting. A magically loud

Thom was able to kick up to his feet and launch a torturous strike against the criminal that had charged him. His dagger bit deeply into the poor man’s groin drawing an agonizing wail of pain. Blood began to spurt from the new wound, and it was all the man could do to apply pressure and attempt to slow the bleeding. Seeing an opening to finish her enemy, Malindra drew her mace and with a great cry struck the bloody criminal crushing his skull and ending his life. Meanwhile Wise Tiger ran to Legions aid and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks to the criminal on Legions right. Many of his blows connected, battering the makeshift gladiator and drawing blood. Legion then gave a great horizontal swing of his axe, cleaving the two men standing near him. His axe bit deeply into the criminal nearest Wise Tiger, taking him in the ribs dealing a mortal blow. The remaining criminals attempted a few counter attacks, but were only able to cause superficial damage at

    In his memoir With The Old Breed, E.B Sledge grants his readers access into his mind, where the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa continue to wage on in memory. Sledge gives a first-hand account of how 'child innocence is lost(156), when boys between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five are collectively crafted by war1. The purpose of this discussion is to analyze With The Old Breed, and comment on the nature of war in terms of the Pacific theatre, specifically Peleliu and Okinawa.

    Tim O'Brien’s novel, The Things They Carried, eloquently (NR) demonstrates the theme of ‘beauty in horror’. The novel emphasizes this theme through the underlying foil between beauty and atrocities that are not uncommon in war stories. O'Brien focuses on the imagery of these events as well as the tone to illustrate the difficulties that soldiers are exposed to and how they have been conditioned to their situation to no longer see the horror in these horrific events rather start seeing them as beautiful events. The relevance of this theme is most prevalent in the short story, “How to Tell a True War Story.” This short story illustrates many different barbaric events that have been very beautifully illustrated.…

    Confidently, I write to you in an effort to bring to your attention a novel that I believe will, in its reprint, aid a great number of students in their efforts to better understand the history of World War I. Erich Maria Remarque expertly wrote The Road Back and originally had it published in 1931 by Random House Trade Paperbacks in New York. Despite the success of the novel, its prequel All Quiet on the Western Front unintentionally dimmed it spotlight. I believe The Road Back can draw monumental success in its revival, but only with the assistance of you and your company. The Road Back exhibits an era in history, which disappears in the shadows between the two World Wars, it is an important part of the history of the world, and its reprint…
