Mustard

volunteered to test protective clothing for the Navy. He was told that it was safe he was just Following orders, he wore a gas mask and special clothes and was escorted into a 10-foot by 10-foot chamber, which was then locked from the outside. Sulfur mustard and Lewisite, poisonous gasses used in chemical weapons, were released into the chamber and for one hour each day for five days, the seaman sat in this noxious vapor, on the final day he became nauseous, his eyes and throat began to burn,…

illustration of a poor soldier not putting on his gas mask in time and dying from the poisonous gas. It also says “flound 'ring like a man in fire or lime,” (Owen) which means the man is being burned on his insides, dying very slowly and very painfully. Mustard gas is a horrid chemical that reacts with water in the lungs forming a burning chemical which destroys the lungs and is now banned from warfare (Mazzeno). This is a death in which no man wishes to…

Crash can. Once Penn took off his shoes, Crash “unscrewed the top, reached in with the eraser end of [his] pencil, scooped out the rest of the mustard, and painted the sneaker tongues and laces” (Spinelli 50). Crash decided that since he hadn’t done anything to Penn yet, he should ruin Penn’s shoes. Penn would have had to go all day wearing shoes full of mustard just do Crash could have a laugh. When Crash left the dance, he “set [his] legs and rammed into [Penn] with [his] shoulder” (Spinelli…

straw yellow hair, surfboards, snow…I tasted ketchup and mustard and mayonnaise; smelled streets and new cars and sometimes horses and barns, dollar bills and bacon”(Jarrar 201). Anders then states that everyone views America different. Also that since Nidali was born in America that she will finally be living there. Nidali…

Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five” tells the story of Billy Pilgrim, a decidedly non- heroic man who had become "unstuck in time”. The two central events in his life that he keeps returning to are his abduction by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore and his time as a soldier and prisoner of war during World War II, during which he witnesses the allied firebombing of the city of Dresden, Germany and as a result, more death than he had ever known possible.Through the forms of figurative…

Wilfred Owen’s poem “Dulce et Decorum Est” is a scathing condemnation of war that uses vivid and visceral imagery to contradict the idea that battle is glorious. The title of the poem ironically refers to the Latin maxim promoting the sweetness and nobility of war, while the first stanza contradicts this in its depiction of the harsh conditions of the battlefield and the traumatizing aftermath of war. This jarring juxtaposition between the idealism of society and the reality of the soldier’s…

This is a very good question, and it gives me the opportunity to share some the disciplines of my denomination. I come from a Baptist back ground where we don’t right down prayers when the time comes for prayers for any part of the communion service, we just pray from the heart. For example, when it comes to blessing the body and the blood we just do it there is no written prayer. However, we do have certain movements that we follow, like in the new church that I belong to it it a beautiful…

to find out the hard way that World War I was just awful and in no way, whatsoever, was it romantic. Soldiers were stuck in trenches where if they dared to try and exit they would be shot dead on the spot and the Germans were constantly throwing mustard gas into the trenches and if our soldiers didn’t put on the difficult gas mask quickly and hold their breath till it was on then they would surely die. And though people may think that if they just stayed in the trenches then they would be okay,…

broaden the knowledge of the effect of stricter gun restrictions law versus looser gun restriction law. In order to determine this, Professor John R. Lott Jr. and David Mustard, a graduate student in economics, analyzed FBI’s data to justify the outcome of states that are fore and apposing gun restriction. Professor Lott and David Mustard,…

years old when I had the pleasure of eating my first coney dog at the Coney Island in Comerica Park. I remember the first bite; it was so good. The hot dog was cooked perfectly, the nice warm bun and hot chili kept the hot dog nice and warm and the mustard and onions give it a sharper type of tast and it’s just a perfect combination. Ever since that day everytime I go to a Coney, I always order a nice and delicious coney dog. At a young age I realized that Coney Dogs are a big Detroit thing and…
