Mariana Trench

chose to create an exhibit on trench warfare because trench warfare changed the way soldiers came home from war, and brought about many new technologies for future wars. The first half of the exhibit provides background information on the context of trench warfare in World War I. I wanted to provide the audience with a perspective with which to view the rest of the exhibit. I then followed this background information with an explanation of the sub theme of strategy of trench warfare. This…

War devastates anyone, the damage is emotional and psychological as well as physical. Everything we see in the news, in the newspapers, or hear on the radio is about battles, shots, weapons, and deaths. In the First World War, nobody really knew how destructive this dispute was going to be, no country in Europe was prepared for what was coming. The propaganda recruited the necessary soldiers and the only thing that was known was that the troops of the United States, France, England, and Russia…

(The Trenches of WWI) The trenches of World War I helped the army stay protected from enemy fire, but they had to deal with dead bodies, rats, cold water and minimum food. Most dealt with trench foot and many lost feet and toes. For food they had tea and dog biscuits and not much meat except for rats. History thinks that the war was wasteful, but it was really a thought out system. Exhaustion, low reserves, and huge loss of life on both sides made both them realize the defensiveness…

Trench Warfare in WW1 Trench warfare played a major role in World War 1 due to the constant offensive and defensive positions the soldiers were in. World War 1 began in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. The assassination was just a trigger as there was already unrest between countries in Europe. The opposing sides were Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey. The allied sides were Russia. France and Great Britain. Australia joined the war because of association…

I'm miserable. I have not recorded anything for a time, despite making an attempt to avoid wasting what is left of my time in this wretched trench. Some nights back a cloudburst happened which left both sides basically fallen. As luck would have it did not hurt anyone but creating it very difficult to fight. Nowadays I think of these trenches as holding cells for prisoners, the site I am guaranteed to spend the remaining months of my life in until i am eventually exhausted and then we are killed…

On the 18th of September 2014, I went to watch the adapted theatre production of “Private Peaceful” at the Queens theatre, Barnstable. The production that was originally a novel written by Michael Morpurgo but Simon Reade adapted and directed the theatre production. The theatre company was called: Fiery Angel and scamp theatre; the actor for the solo role of ‘Tommo’ and 21 other roles, was characterized by Andy Daniel. He did an exceptionally good job and skilfully brought all the characters to…

Trench warfare was a revolutionary war tactic that changed how war was fought. Soldiers would dig big ditches, called a trench, and then live in them for long periods of time. The conditions were not the best, but more soldiers would have died in combat if the trenches had not been created. This defensive strategy had many flaws and it prolonged the war, but it did help the Allies defeat the Central Powers in World War I. Trench warfare was a military tactic that is known for its use along the…

The theme of "O Captain! My Captain!" is that sacrifices have to be made in order to be successful and gain greatness. Elegy: somber toned poem, lament for the dead This poem is an Elegy in honor of Abraham Lincoln. Walt Whitman wrote this poem a little after Lincoln's assassination. This poem is a big metaphor because it is about a captain -Abraham Lincoln- and his crew -Lincoln's followers- obtaining their sought out prize-winning the civil war- but after getting what they want the captain…

Both Wilfred Owen and Seamus Heaney present the power of nature in their poems “Exposure” and “Storm on the Island”, respectively, as overwhelming and uncontrollable. Between the two, they both emphasize nature as an unparalleled power, however, Owen’s poem is a visual representation of life in the trenches of WW1, contrasting from existing government propaganda glamorising the adventures of war and emphasizing the futility of the situation by depicting the fate of soldiers suffering from…
