Wars have been fought for many different reasons through the years, and that holds true for the American Civil War (1861-1865). In Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Killer Angels, the reasons for fighting the war are brought about through the officers and soldiers at a famous battle site of the Civil War, Gettysburg. Gettysburg was one of the most documented battles of the whole war. It took place over a span of three days and can be viewed as a turning point from Confederate prominence to Confederate demise.

Noticing a large chalkboard, with countless names of different children, she decides to write her name, “Alma”, right in the middle of the board. Suddenly, hearing an odd clicking sound, she turns around to see a doll that looks exactly like her, in the window of the shop across the street.

As Alma looks up, the doll disappears.

The play Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, by Tony Kushner, contained situations in which characters’ personalities underwent great changes from the beginning of the play to the end.

Coraline won that battle and kept the key. When she came out, she fell asleep in the couch. “In the morning, Carolina said to her mother I’m going to have picnic with my dolls today.” She used this planned technique to capture the bone-colored hand of her other mother to the trap of the well that she had set up.

Grief is individual because everyone handles his or her sorrows differently. No one wants to be alone and therefore to loose someone you love can be tremendously painful and difficult to overcome. On the one hand you want to get liberated from the pain and loss. You try to compensate from it by forgetting. Others want to keep the memory of the ones they have lost, because they fear the loneliness, and thereby find it challenging letting them go because death is so hard to accept.
