Manhua Journey to the West, a graphic novel by Zhang Guangyu in 1945, is a nod to the Chinese classic Journey to the Wets by Wu Cheng'en written in the year 1592. It is written around the reign of the KMT and during the second Sino-Japanese War. From which Zhang uses the style in which Journey to the West was written to "implicate" poke fun of the government and their policies. How does Zhang Guang use the classic Journey to the west to explain the events around 1945 circa China? Why does he use such a frame? To create a adaptation of the classic to relate the events of then China. By using a classic such as the Journey to the West (which was an original satire in its own right),in order to critique the government of the time (KMT) without too much trouble. I think he used the elements that JTHW holds for better adjustment to 1945 China. That was the why aspect, now let's explore how. The beauty of a mythical land and/or story is that all things you say or things you show are not completely true, or not entirely true. Zhang can depict mystical lands that happen to resemble lands and people we are familiar with, but not explicitly. Such as the False Qin, a kingdom that has complications with the land of Ey-in, who are ruled by "Japanese demons" and look to fight with the Ey-in kingdom. For the first example, (when the travelers came across a tree made of paper money, they learn that within the Kingdom of Paper Money it is the custom to convert gold and…

into place. On the other hand, there are many who do not support the Nepalese communists and believe that they are evil.

On January 1, 1994 the Zapatista uprising took place in Chiapas, Mexico. The Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) had been organizing long before 1994, but the New Year’s Day uprising is very significant to their beginnings as it propelled them onto a national and international spotlight. Rooted in their cause was anti-neoliberalism as it related to the indigenous struggle. The date of the revolution was not random, but chosen because it was the day that the North American Free Trade…

Throughout both the United States’ Civil (1861-1865) and Revolutionary (1775-1783) Wars, the use of reveilles were essential in commanding and directing military forces (American Wars). Though many of the beats and instruments are either similar or the same, the century between the two, allowed significant time for new developments in the music corps. Not only did these instruments come from European countries as they expanded their imperialistic nations, but a variety of their songs, reveilles…

It is unnecessary to offer arguments in recommendation of a measure, on which the honor, safety and well-being of our Country so evidently and so essentially depend: But it may not be amiss to observe that I am particularly anxious, it should receive as early attention as circumstances will admit; because it is now in our power to avail ourselves of the military knowledge disseminated throughout the several States, by means of the many well instructed Officers and Soldiers of the late…

Why It is Important to Always be Combat Ready Vincenzo A Ruby Combat Readiness is defined as the ability of U.S military forces to fight and meet the demands of the national military strategy. This is the most important factor to our soldiers, me included. To fight effectively we must be manned, equipped and trained to operate under war conditions. For me to be combat ready, I have to be fully in sync with my training, and my equipment. My equipment is useless without me being properly…

The French government just wanted to protect the better good of the people of France by taking care of the counterrevolutionaries. The counterrevolutionaries were mostly fighting to restore the monarchy. Didn’t the monarchy put the country in serious debt and do nothing for the starving people. That’s why the allied army wanted to go to war with France, to restore the monarchy. The terror is the only reason why France is the country it is today. Without the terror the France would not have stood…
