  • Warfare In The Short Story Grace Period By Will Baker

    422 Words  | 1 Pages

    When one thinks about warfare, the average mental picture is usually a movie war scene with soldiers, and planes; very rarely do people think about about the average Joe, trimming his hedge. In the short story “Grace Period”, by Will Baker, there is a man trimming his hedge outside with an electric hedge trimmer when a nuclear bomb is dropped; his wife has gone to get the mail. In “an instant [he felt as] everything stretched just slightly, a few millimeters, then contracted again” (Baker, 1989, p. 7). Although the character does not know what is happening, the reader may realize that this description is a high altitude nuclear burst. The article “Nuclear Weapon Effects”, by John Pike, describes what a nuclear bomb’s effects are and what could happen if one was dropped. Based on clues in the story and the information from the article, the reader can determine what is happening to the man and what he can expect will happen to him.

  • War Without Mercy

    1489 Words  | 3 Pages

    John Dower's War Without Mercy describes the ugly racial dimensions of the conflict in the Asian theater of World War II and their consequences on both military and reconstruction policy in the Pacific. "In the United States and Britain," Dower reminds us, "the Japanese were more hated than the Germans before as well as after Pearl Harbor. On this, there was no dispute among contemporary observers. They were perceived as a race apart, even a species apart -- and an overpoweringly monolithic one at that. There was no Japanese counterpart to the 'good German' in the popular consciousness of the Western Allies." (8) Conservative readers, don't fret - Dower isn't making this argument to exonerate the Japanese for their own racism or war crimes -- after all, "atrocious behavior occurred on all sides in the Pacific War." (12-13) Rather, Dower is exploring the propaganda of the US-Japanese conflict to delineate the "patterns of a race war," the cultural mechanisms of "othering," and the portability of racial/racist stereotypes. For "as the war years themselves changed over into into an era of peace between Japan and the Allied powers, the shrill racial rhetoric of the early 1940s revealed itself to be surprisingly adaptable. Idioms that formerly had denoted the unbridgeable gap between oneself and the enemy proved capable of serving the goals of accommodation as well." (13)

    The effects of water scarcity are relatively new for irrigators in the Klamath Basin as decreasing summer and spring snow melts have brought a re-examination of water priorities in the region. In times of drought, irrigators received priority in water allocation because of the prevailing legal rights and normative values at the time. The Klamath Wildlife Refuges and the Salmon received the leftover water that which was not needed for irrigation (Tarlock 2007).  In 2001, the USFWS issued biological opinion reports that stated that because of the severe drought, water levels in both the Upper Klamath and Lower Klamath must be maintained at higher levels to preserve the endangered Coho Salmon and the Short nose and Lost

  • Summary Of The Flag Is Drenched With Our Blood

    259 Words  | 1 Pages

    First of all, I do not side with Charles Blow in his article, “The Flag Is Drenched With Our Blood,” because of how biased his article was. Although Blow presented numerous amounts of evidence of how America has abused African Americans, the author did not present any hard hitting evidence from the 21st century. It is common knowledge that blacks were abused in the past and the author basically just gave his audience a big recap of what we did, not how we changed and have improved. Nonetheless, I do believe that the killings of blacks by cops and people killing cops is atrocious and fair political action should be taken to meet this social issue. On the other political spectrum, Heather Mac Donald presented some current evidence that does

  • The Name of War

    1296 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this historical and culturally divided book, Jill Lepore examines and tries to define the King Philips War and how people wrote about it. At the beginning of the colonies it was a start of a “New England" and after the King Philip’s War with all of the religious conflicts and war stories, a new American identity was born. Throughout this book she tells gruesome tales about murders, massacres, and battles. Even thought his book jumps a lot in chronically order she successfully tells the tales for both sides pretty accurately. I enjoyed reading some parts of this book. Especially the beginning and the middle because I thought the End dropped off and slowed down.
