His letter was written to his mother describing how on Christmas the British and the Germans walked out into no man's land to wish each other a Merry Christmas and to play football.

A couple of men were placed onto sheets. It wasn’t any hospital with the dusty beds, and no sunlight. The only way you could tell that it was the medical room was by the few men that were bandaged up. Each…

everywhere; of men, cows, and rats. Artillery echoes in the distance, a further part of the trench must be being shelled. The nights are long and sleepless, filled with repairing barbed wire, scouting the area between us and the enemy which we call no man 's land, and just doing general repairs. Any effort of sleeping is during the day, yet I cannot seem to fall out of consciousness, any sounds jerks me awake, and I live in constant paranoia of my dugout collapsing. Many men are sickly;…

“Sir, all NCO`s are wanted at Battalion headquarters for briefing” barked the messenger I acknowledged the man and walked through the muddy trench filled with water. As I walked I saw bodies still floating in the water from the previous day's battle, I shook my head sadly, these poor men did not even get the chance to make it over the top and into no man's land. When I finally made it to the command bunker I opened the door and was hit by a rush of warm air and the smell of cigarettes. “Good…

onto when reading The Fall, readers are, in a sense, forced to accept the idea of a subjective reality. No Man’s Land, a play written by Harold Pinter, further explores the theme of reality and it’s relationship to existentialism. Two men in their sixties, Hirst and Spooner, are talking in Hirst’s living room. They have just met at a bar. They are both drinking, which is evident from the somewhat choppy dialogue. The encounter seems choppy as well. At first the two men seem like strangers but…

For many of us, conflict over natural resources is not a part of everyday life. But in many places around the world, access to natural resources cannot be taken for granted. Conflict over natural resources is often part of a larger struggle over political, social, and economic power. The control over water, land, and oil has economically and socially changed the world. They have been used to secure power because of how important they are to society. The consequences for wrongly abusing these…

their claims. Proponents argue that fracking has lifted the current economy by increasing jobs. Extraction jobs may provide short term growth, but eventually this growth will plummet. This loss happens as extraction sites gain attention from other investors. Once invested, a site develops an overabundance in resources, thus sinking firm costs. Overabundance will cause job loss in the process as firms can’t recover (Twomey et.al.). Jobs are also temporary since extraction only provides cash flow…
