What War Does The book Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo is about the effect of war on a single man named Joe. He has gotten his face blown apart, which also causes him to go blind, deaf, dumb, lose his ability to smell and all of his limbs to be cut off. As Joe goes through his past, he feels himself becoming more and more insane, he feels like he is trapped inside his own mind and does not know how to get out. War can do this to people and even though sometimes it is necessary, it is difficult to imagine. Joe goes through hell throughout the novel, he suffers from physical, emotional and the pain of going insane. Joe goes through physical changes that are so drastic that it is both sickening and hard to fully comprehend. Over the course of the novel, Joe wakes up in a hospital bed not fully understanding why he is there but slowing registering the wounds he now had.

Months pass and Joe then tries to kick the pillow from underneath his feet now realizing that he does not have any feet either, this injury devastates him making him feel powerless and useless. “No legs. No more running walking crawling if you have no legs. No more working. No legs you see. Never again to wiggle your toes. What the hell of a thing what a wonderful beautiful thing to wiggle your toes” (Trumbo 60). Besides being a very experienced amputee Joe also apprehends that he is blind, deaf, and loses his ability to smell…

An allegory is a story or poem that has moral values hidden in context. The epic poem Beowulf is an example of an allegory because you can find Christian and Pagan culture and history in different ways. In Beowulf, there are a few significant battles that represent heroism and religion at the same time. If I were to compare Beowulf to anyone, it’d be Hercules. They both heroic warriors that show no sign of cowardness. Beowulf was a hero, he would fight for his people, at the same time he was…

between Jacob and Esau. Just as certain animals cannot understand the nature of man, those born of the devil cannot understand love or mercy or repentance. Even when they try to understand the secrets of God they fail in doing so because they lack the master key of all God 's secrets: Love. This is why although we struggle with sin (and at times we must reap what is sown in it) our destiny is not everlasting fire but to be taught by God in his love and receive the true glory in all of its…

Throughout history, different cultures have described the loss of paradise in their own ways. The Hebrews called this “Gehenna,” the ancient Egyptians called it “Duat,” and the Mayans called it “Xibalba,” but the common theme throughout these and all adaptations of Hell is the eternal separation from good and, as a result, an abundance of suffering and evil.
