As you can see in my selfie, I am smiling, which refers to my answer to the question "Has Canada's history made you proud to be a Canadian?" And that smile means yes, I am proud to be a Canadian, due to Canada having so much effect over the years of the 20th century, which I will point out from my GREAT CANADIAN SELFIE. The first prop is the outfit and the mustache, in which I am supposed to look like an immigrant, who just immigrated to Canada, because of Canada's 1980 immigration act, which…

Dear cousin Maeve, (History and Geography) I heard the news about the Lusitania and how it sank on the seventh of May, and I know it happened near the other side of Ireland, how are the people reacting back home in Mayo? Also, how is Aunt Kathy? I, on the other hand, am not doing as well. I have news that makes me feel sick every time I think about it. Roger and I will be heading overseas to help France in the war. France has suffered lots of casualties from the Oise-Aisne campaign, along with…

serves as a reminder to the Family and friends of those who passed away fighting for our country and those who are currently fighting. The poppy reminds us to remember, and honour the memories of soldiers and their families. Poppies lie in Flanders fields above the graves of the soldiers who had fought in WW1.

called the Royal Irish Constabulary Special Reserve. The Black and Tans were to be a force of temporary constables recruited to aid the Royal Irish Constabulary during the Irish War for Independence. Most were former British soldiers in the fields of Flanders during WWI who could not find work after coming home from the war. These men were not necessarily political or overly patriotic, but rather took the jobs for the pay. The Black and Tans got their name because there weren’t enough uniforms…

this became one of the main elements of the agricultural revolution. Perhaps the most significant change was the innovation of using enclosed fields instead of the traditional open field system. The open field system was a system in which towns would divide the land to be cultivated into several large field and then cut up into several narrow strips. Field were farmed as a community and entire families plowed, sowed and harvested crops. However, there was a major problem to this system, for it…

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Over two dozen cities and towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it’s difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day. Regardless of the exact date or location of its origins, one thing is clear – Memorial Day was borne out…

opening day: ‘Wounded men (were) sprawled everywhere in the slime, in the shell holes, in the mine craters, some screaming to the skies, some lying silently, some begging for help, some struggling to keep from drowning in (water-filled) craters, the field swarming with stretcher-bearers trying to…

In addition, Hemingway uses nature as a symbol to express fertility. “Across, on the other side, were fields of grain and trees along the banks of the Ebro. Far away, beyond the river, were mountains. The shadow of a cloud moved across the field of grain and she saw the river through the trees” (Hemingway 593). Nature symbolizes life and fertility. The shadow of the cloud over the grain field could be an ominous symbol of the man’s intentions starting to influence Jig even though she remains…

Each had their own place in the war, and each brought with them new ways of killing. Despite these new weapons, military commanders stuck to the tactics of the 20th century, which utilized “massed bayonet charges supported by the cavalry and mobile field artillery” (Simkin, par. 1). Throwing waves upon waves of soldiers against organized defense networks utilizing machine guns proved extremely ineffective, resulting in heavy casualties. “Going over the top” (charging the enemy) was a traumatic…
