There is a possibility that America might not be able to pull together like the citizens did during World War Two. However, there is a possibility that the citizens might be able to pull together. The direction it would go depends on how the American citizens would react to having to go to war. The reaction of citizens is based on what the reason for fighting in the war is. If they think that the reason is worth it, then most of the American citizens will come together and help with the war cause. Although, it will be different then the efforts made during World War Two, the efforts made by the citizens today will still be just as efficient and productive. Citizens today would be able to help encourage and support the men that went to go fight in the war. They would be able to help the soldiers keep their spirits up and focus on making it home. Rather than people sending “Victory mail” only to their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers, people would have the option of writing a letter to a soldier they did not know.

  • Essay on All Quiet on the Western Front

    1919 Words  | 4 Pages

    Erich Maria Remarque’s literary breakthrough, All Quiet on the Western Front, describes two stories. It meticulously chronicles the thoughts of a soldier in World War I while simultaneously detailing the horrors of all wars; each tale is not only a separate experience for the soldier, but is also a new representation of the fighting. The war is seen through the eyes of Paul Baumer whose mindset is far better developed in comparison to his comrades’. His true purpose in the novel is not to serve as a representation of the common soldier, but to take on a godly and omniscient role so that he may serve as the connection between WWI and all past and future melees of the kind. Baumer becomes the representation of all men, and, through him, the reader comes to see the true essence of such a human struggle.

    ...though people believe that, those on the home front have it just as a bad as the soldiers, because they have to deal with the responsibilities of their husbands, there is nothing that can compare to what these men have gone through. The war itself consumed them of their ideology of a happy life, and while some might have entered the war with the hope that they would soon return home, most men came to grips with the fact that they might never make it out alive. The biggest tragedy that follows the war is not the number of deaths and the damages done, it is the broken mindset derives from being at war. These men are all prime examples of the hardships of being out at war and the consequences, ideologies, and lifestyles that develop from it.

Easy and cheap to make, the light craft was only just over 25 feet long and carried a wingspan of 17 12 feet, and ran on easily available standard gasoline. Its small jet engine gave it enough power to carry a 1,870-pound warhead. Although it was cheap and simply made, it lacked accuracy. The most specific point that the Germans could hit with the V-1 was Greater London, and nothing smaller (Siegel, 94).

    “Slavery is such an atrocious debasement of human nature, that its very extirpation, if not performed with solicitous care, may sometimes open a source of serious evils. The unhappy man who has been treated as a brute animal, too frequently sinks beneath the common standard of the human species. The galling chains, that bind his body, do also fetter his intellectual faculties, and impair the social affections of his heart… To instruct, to advise, to qualify those, who have been restored to freedom, for the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberty… and to procure for their children an education calculated for their future situation in life; these are the great outlines of the annexed plan, which we have adopted.” - Benjamin Franklin. When Benjamin Franklin said this, he was speaking in 1789 promoting the abolition of slavery so long before the civil war. He was one of the many abolitionists that had been fighting for freedom years before the main events of the abolition movement during the abolition movement. Dred Scott was served wrongly by slave owning judges. The Abolition Movement and The Dred Scott decision are about people standing up for others being treated wrongly.

    The quote “all’s fair in love and war” means nothing is out of bounds when it comes to love and war; everything is fair game. Nicholas Sparks, Norman Rockwell, and Robert Frost do an excellent job depicting this quote in their work. Nicholas Sparks is famous for his romantic novels; many of which involve a man in the military falling in love with a woman and doing whatever it takes to be with one another. Norman Rockwell’s paintings are simple but also show the love and war. Though Robert Frost’s poem are not particularly about love and war; he does have many poems about love between two people as well as poems about war and what it takes to survive. All three people are extremely talented and I enjoy all of their work.
