conflicts included in this essay, written with excessive amounts of imagery, establish examinable themes. Henry handles each theme during his battles bravely; however, during his four-day war experience, he struggles with coming to terms with his fears and fighting for his beliefs. He is literally battling the Confederate Army, all while fighting a figurative battle in his mind. Not fit to be a soldier--and fearing that he will desert--Henry believes he does not have the courage to fight. Also…

"Individual human beings are all tools, that the others use to help us all survive." -Ender’s Game. Manipulation is a key theme in the book, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. Although in this book, it has many themes, Manipulation has a giant role in the life of Ender. The system pits him against the students who highly dislike him for his brilliant intelligence and the teachers just simply make it worse. But with all these thrown at him, Ender is still afraid of Peter and his actions on Earth.…

In 356 B.C. Phillip II and his third wife Olympias had a child named Alexander. At a young age Alexander was educated by a wise Greek philosopher named Aristotle. According to Plutarch, Alexander went against Aristotle’s advice to treat the Greeks as a leader, and the barbarians as a master (Plutarch 4). However, he treated them as friends and kinsmen so that his kingdom would not be filled with warfare, banishments and secret plots. In this way he could mediate and govern the world (Plutarch 4)…

became the basis of American tactics once they got into their stride and it was used to great effect. However, to be fair to the exponents of the swift armoured thrust, such as Gen George S.

The military’s advancement in drone technology has increased exponentially in the last decade, and continues to seek improvements.

troops. From my personal experience, I can assure everyone that one of the most important factors, aside from logistics, is the training environment. Yes, we should train as we fight. Yes, we do not choose the locations where we will be fighting in battle. However, when we do have the opportunity and resources to train in the perfect environment, should we not take it? Referring back to the wonderful and stable climate of our southern neighbor, I remind you that the overall fascinating climate…

That’s most of the reason we didn’t win the war, we weren’t ready for the terrain. The battle of pork chop hill was one of the most important battles. Being in the mountain’s it provided a challenge for American troops, but for Korean troops who grew up there it was like second nature navigating through the terrain. It took place on a mountainous peninsula, which in my opinion is the worst place to have a battle because if you get backed up your cornered, also they know there way around the…

less its use in Sioux Falls’ own Battle for the Arts. Intended as a witty turn-of phrase, “the pen is mightier than the sword” has taken on new meaning where a Sharpie Magnum is the weapon of choice.
