Cranes

by Stephen Crane and “Dulce et Decorum Est” as mentioned before, irony is used by these two writers to protest war. In “War is Kind”, Crane conveys irony with the title itself. Obviously, war is not kind in any way, shape or form. In a way, Crane is being sarcastic with the title, because in stanza 4, line 3 he writes “These men were born to drill and die point for them the virtue of slaughter, make plain to them the excellence of killing and a field where a thousand corpses lie.” (Crane). This,…

similarities such as: the plot (civil war) and each had to make hard decisions. But each did have different settings one was held in Korea and the other was in Ireland. In “The Sniper” the main character was related to the opposed enemy, while in “Cranes”, the main character is a childhood friend to the person that was arrested. Finally, the themes are very different in which they had two different conflicts. Let me ask you again: What would do if you were a sniper/officer and you were in the…

If you were being charged at by thousands of soldiers ready to shoot right at you, would you flee or hold your ground? In the Red Badge of Courage ( Scribner, 1894) author Stephen Crane questions the difference between courage, and cowardice. Henry Fleming is a teenager that has a special interest in combat. He does not consider the grave possibilities or even the disastrous events that can take place while in battle. Henry just wants to serve in the Union Army to make an immediate impact on the…

tried to justify himself (Crane 51). This shows Henry ran, and knew he was being a coward, but tried to justify it in order to think he has courage. This also shows he only thinks of himself, because instead of running, Henry could have stayed and fought the battle, which would've shown he had courage. In the second battle, Henry stays and fights with his regiment in order to prove he has courage, and this time he fights automatically, while he feels like a machine (Crane 103). This example…

Tim O'Brien said “A true war story is never moral.” In both “The Red Badge of courage”, written by Stephen Crane, and the movie “Paths of Glory,” directed by Stanley Kubrick, this statement takes upon a new meaning. Both Crane and Kubrick validate this message by showing that men grow selfish in the race to war glory and status, which in turn dehumanizes and uselessly kills innocent soldiers. They are expected to look this death in the face with unconditional bravery, which is against human…

Stephen Crane uses a large amount of irony in his poem “War Is Kind”. The irony is found not only in the title but throughout the poem. This poem is ironic because Crane says “Do not weep, babe, for war is kind”(12) but then goes into detail about all the terrible things in war and how it is not kind. Another piece of literature that includes…

Correlational studies are important because they can be used to collect a vast amount of information. In addition, they make it easy to study the relationship between a wide range of variables. (Crane & Hannibal, 2012). Correlational research also can be used to study variables not easily produced in a lab. (Crane & Hannibal, 2012). This research method is a tremendously good way to study the interrelations of variables, however, correlation does not indicate causation in many cases. Also,…

In other cases, it is related to an individual’s genes. The increased familial prevalence of breast cancer may be indicative of a gene that is passed down through generations. Two genes that researcher have linked to increased risk are the BRCA1 and CHEK2 genes (Breast Cancer). These genes are typically passed downed from parent to child and in cases that cancer does develop it is referred to as inherited cancer (Breast Cancer). Hormones have been show to play a large role in the risk and…

Many times short stories depict a deeper meaning than the typical reader might digest. In “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky” Stephen Crane critiques a society that directly reflects the era he is living. James Joyce in “Eveline” also portrays a society that could relate to many people during this time period. Stephen Crane exemplifies a story of an old era coming to an end and the struggle of breaking into a new lifestyle in 1898, where as James Joyce describes the struggles of a girl named Eveline…
