Desertion

The poem, “War is Kind” (1899), by Stephen Crane, mocks anyone who thinks that war can produce peace. Crane pushes this mocking tone to put forth an opinion to enlighten his readers that no matter the awards and glory a person may receive for losing someone to war, war will only leave people heartbroken and lonely, hence the idea that war will never be kind. Crane develops his poem by taunting the readers through the use of literary devices such as irony, personification and similes. In stanza two Crane utilizes the literary term, personification to exaggerate feelings. Crane talks for a while about men wanting to kill and then states, “glory flies above them”(9). Glory cannot fly but Crane allows it to by using personification to amplify the emotions of glory to make it seem as though it is amazing and these bloodthirsty men are dying for it. Crane starts this stanza making war sound not all bad, just a bunch of men willing to die for glory, but then Crane leaves the end of the stanza with the saying, a thousand corpses lying insisting that many men have died. Crane is trying to show the readers that glory may sound good, it may even feel good because Crane has been in war before, but in the end thousands will never leave the battle ground because they are dead and glory can never make up for all those deceased soldiers. Imagery is used widely in poems but specifically in stanza three imagery is applied to create sad and depressing sympathy. “Your father tumbles in…

Desertion The ad that I chose to do my paper on is an ad that is promoting a new show. The ad is old because now the show is on its 7th season but, at the time they were trying to convey an image of what the world would look like if the world was overtaken by a zombie apocalypse. I think they got the point across. The image is controversial because nobody really knows what the world really would look like if there were to be a zombie apocalypse. Throughout the image there appears to be many…

evil, and not take a new, / And he, like all false lovers, could complain/ So well, that Dido, pitying his pain, / Made him her husband and became his wife” (Chaucer 103). Women of Chaucer’s era did not have options of expressing their passionate feelings outside of marriage. “At the same time, the notion of sexuality was extremely narrowly defined, which is to say, heterosexual intercourse within marriage with the goal of producing children” (Castelli 68). Women who engaged in extramarital…

The petitioner must show that they have been deserted for a period of two years prior to the application, the ‘…unjustifiable withdrawal from cohabitation… with the intent of being separated permanently.’ If this desertion can be warranted, it cannot be relied upon. This ground can only be used where the deserter refused to consent to divorce. In the case of QUORAISHI v QUORAISHI (1985), it was justifiable for the wife to leave her husband due to his second marriage. The deserter must be…

deserted their post (Desertion Confederate). If soldiers deserted their post and were caught, they would be known as cowards for the rest of their life. Even though the Civil War was gruesome, many soldiers decided to desert their post, and because of this it affected their side and they were punished. When soldiers desert, they leave their post before their service expires. Many Union soldiers left their post because they thought that the war would be a quick win for them, but they were…
