War is something that can destroy humans’ mind, especially for the teenagers. War can be the worst enemy for young generation. No one can feel the pain, and experience the real difficulties that war can give, until they will not go through of it. The emotions that teenagers are feeling go thought their entire life. The war causes pain, depression and aggression among them. War can impact teenagers’ psychology, as it impacted on the characters of a book “Separate Peace.” One of the…

In addition, a lot of people did not want to get involved in the war. Some people saw no point of the war and lacked interest. Forty three thousand of the 10 million people drafted refused to fight, which resulted in 6,000 people being arrests. As well as that 350,000 people were involved in draft evasion. The treatment of the enlisted men and officers varied depending on their appearance for the lack of better word. There was barely any organized opposition to oppose the war. The only group…

“It was a death bed for many of my close friends. It was almost like volunteering to die. But it was had to be done.” The mood never changed, along with the sky, all things seemed to always be grey. Being alive for World War ll was not an option for a kid who is seventeen years old right now, but the hero’s who survived the tragic event are all around us. There was no choice to go, no way to get out of it. It was almost a tradition, the past three fathers in the Newpower family have been…

For my common experience event I attended the exhibit: Memories from my duffel bag in the library. At first I didn’t read any of the captions I just looked at the uniforms hanging and all the memories from badges to coins to letters to pictures from loved ones. I felt some feeling looking at all of these because it reminded me of my uncle’s closet. The feeling wasn’t sadness it was more like pride. My uncle Mike has so much pride for what he accomplished in the Air Force. Once I stopped looking…

The men have a discussion on who starts the war, they reach the conclusions that even if the Kaiser had said no to the war it would have happened. They decide that a war is started because the government is outraged by another country. Even though, the country claims they are fighting for their fatherland. It is really just a political game in which they care nothing about. They also believe there is fame to be claimed for history books. On scouting day, Paul looses his sense of direction and…

My father served at a military base for three years, and my grandfather did also. My great grandfather served in World War II as a merchant marine, and he is still alive today. My two cousins are currently serving in the U.S. navy. The United States flag means a lot to me. The United States flag tells me that I am safe, and that the soldiers serving are willing to fight and give their lives for our country and our people. The United States flag means that our soldiers dedicated their lives…

However, different people adapt differently to the war, while Tim reacted in much slower fashion in his adaption while keeping himself in check, the change happened much faster and much stronger to others; as a result, some went over the edge and were lost in a different way. In the story “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” we are introduced to Mary Ann, a young women that was smuggled in by her boyfriend Mark Fossie. She, much like Tim starts of a bit innocent, but unlike Tim she takes an active…
