The word >choice leads you to believe love is only for those >willing to struggle, as if love was only hardship. It >seems that way sometimes and the relation is visible >and apparent. > To prove the claim the author uses quotes such as >“Lovers all are soldiers. Youth is fit for war,” >(Ovid). This quote stands out because it’s claiming >love and war have a direct correlation. “Both stay >up all night long, and each sleeps on the ground; one >guards his mistress’s doorway, one his >general’s.” (Ovid).

A hype chant if you will. The >poem consists of multiple things soldiers should do to >prepare. This chant probably takes place before battle >a sort of “bloody glory filled” battle. The >language is nice and it’s formatted well. The >punctuation isn’t lazy. >Sort of dark and gloomy. > The poem has it’s hype quotes like “Prepare, >prepare!” to sort of amp them up I assume. The dark >gloominess comes from things like “Prepare your >hearts for death’s cold hand!” (Blake). Or >“Prepare your souls for flight and your bodies for >the earth” (Blake). Almost as if death was eminent >and they should most definitely not come home so they >must make preparations for their final moments in >life.

Urbin Markle was in the Vietnam War from >1961 to 1975. She married an officer before he was >shipped away and she became a part of the Army Nurse >Corps. She was in the 93rd Evacuation Hospital Unit >and the 24th as well. The 93rd was in Fort Sam >Houston, Texas and the 24th was in Fort Carson >Colorado and she had also been to Vietnam. She was a >First Lieutenant. She had joined the army as a way of >seeing the world but had never expected the horror of >caring for the wounded and ill soldiers of the Vietnam >War. > This story has some feelings to it, she doesn’t >want to deploy and be separated from her husband. The >loss that war can scare you into thinking you’ve >obtained is frightening. Quotes like “We ran out of >bandages one week and had to use the Stars & Stripes >newspaper.” (Urbin Markle). This quote helps to >visualize how horrific it was to be a nurse in this >bloody conflict. Also the whole time mentally this >woman is thinking about her husband and where he could >possibly be, If he’s injured or dead or even ok. >This story conveys emotion from the war directly >instead of boring history lessons. > > > >Griffin Furlotte >War Veterans >Mr. Morris >5/11/17 > >‘Real Combat’ Stories >By Joyce Faulkner > > This article is about the combat stories of Patrick >Nelson. He found it very difficult to explain these >stories to his family and friends and say them >multiple times. He decided to make his stories public >on a blog. This blog was used for him to vent the >horrible things that happened to him whilst he was in >combat. The tragic stories he put on his blog as a way >of relieving his pain was a huge success. The idea was >also met with loads of support and even had funds >raised towards the cause. It inspire other veterans to >also commit to posting stories on the blog site. > This is a semi heroic story. He is a veteran which is >honorable enough, but he also created this public way >for veterans to express their emotions through stories >they find hard to say in person. The blog was a >healthy alternative for these veterans to get support >and vent their stress and any other emotions like >anger etc. This article is a good read and really >restores any lost faith in humanity, something most >people commonly lose. > > > > >Griffin Furlotte >War Veterans >Mr. Morris >5/11/17 >Help >By Richard Dieterle > > This article is about a military force with a new >captain moving under the cover of darkness.
