All stories must have a conflict in them. Some have only one but the narrator and author of the short story “ The Most Dangerous Game’’ by Richard Connell has not only one but three to give the story a little rage . Man vs man, man vs himself and man vs nature are all included in the story. They all exist in the story and these are some of the examples the author puts on the story when writing it.

Published in 2008, The Forever War by Dexter Filkins compiles a series of vignettes that detail his encounters as a reporter in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Released a year after, director Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker also examines a harrowing account of the conflicts in Iraq. Both works poignantly present the unbridled violence that plague the region, and the futility of a war embedded within a vicious cycle of retaliation. Nevertheless, the portrayal of vengeance as a major motivating force of the war, as well as the war’s isolating and demoralizing effect on its witnesses, are better achieved in The Forever War. Contrary to the sole perspective of an American Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team in The Hurt Locker, Filkins includes multiple angles to explore each of the elements portrayed, and ultimately offers a more profound, subtle, and enduring explication than the film.

“The Dangerous Game”  by Richard Connell has a happy ending. A happy ending is when the protagonist in a story or a book solves his/her problems or defeat an adversary. The Dangerous Game exemplified a happy ending because Rainsford beats Zaroff to the building and lasted 3 days without being hunted down and killed. For example, in the text on the page (27) reads, “You have won the game.” This means Rainsford defeated General Zaroff which is displaying the protagonist defeating his adversary.  Later in the story when General Zaroff gives a bow and says one of them is to furnish a repast for the hounds and the other is to sleep in the bed. To my understanding, he is referring to Rainsford sleeping in the bed and the one who will provide food

Mansur Abdulin takes his experiences on the front ranks and shares them in great detail in his book Red Road From Stalingrad. By describing all the things that are happening in the day to day combat, Abdulin is also giving the readers a glimpse at himself.

The novel Top Guns by Joe Foss and Matthew Brennan is a biography about many brave, extraordinary aces back in World War 1 and 2. One pilot, Arthur Raymond Brooks, was born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1895. He graduated as valedictorian from Framingham Academy and High School in 1917 (Foss, 4). Arthur didn’t want to continue school, so he enlisted in the U.S Army Signal Officer Reserve Corps. Also, he attended the School of Military Aeronautics, with the Royal Flying Corps in Canada from September to November 1917 (Foss, 3-5). In 1918, Brooks was transferred to France, where he flew the SPAD S. VII. After three victories he became flight commander of the 22nd Aero Squadron flying the SPAD XIII C.1. These three victories were not easy, Brooks took on eight German Fokker D. VIII aircraft. He shot down four Germans with God on his side, as Brooks said, “I am alive today because of things I learned to do in one case and things I knew nothing about in the other--special flying techniques and my guardian angel” (Foss, 14). Arthur was followed back by the four other Germans, extraordinarily,

Carolyn Forche, author of The Colonel, writes this poem in a prose style technique. Prose poetry is a communicative stye that sounds natural and uses correct grammatical structure, but refrains from employing rhythmic arrangement ("Prose Examples and Definition..."). The focus of the poem begins with an ordinary family and the details of a routine day; however, this quickly develops with the sudden detail “a pistol on the cushion beside him” and induces a major tonal shift. Forche commences objective imagery to exhibit the negative connotations the Colonel possesses and compares this to the normal lifestyle of the family. Readers of the poem may overlook the importance of blunt imagery and prose style poetry; however, a closer analysis allows

In the book A Soldier’s Secret, the story is told from the perspective of Sarah Emma Edmonds, alias Frank Thompson. Sarah Emma Edmonds is a soldier, nurse, and spy for the Union Army of the Civil War. To avoid an arranged marriage and get away from her father’s abusive hands, Sarah escaped Brunswick, Canada dressed in her brother’s clothes as a man. You learn very quickly that the story is told Sarah’s perspective. For example, when Sarah is enlisting, she is told that she cannot enlist because she is too young. When this happens, Sarah states, “I freeze. Can he tell? I’m wearing a shirt, vest, and trousers as usual, my curly hair cut short except for a lock that insists on falling over my forehead” (1). This shows

Daniel Drezner explains the ideas that many feminist’s share: the world is vastly different for women than it is for men. The gap between the genders is to the detriment of women. Radical feminist would concur with this point. Radical feminism centers on the idea that the suppression of the female gender is the main focus of all oppression within the world (Rowland and

Cormac McCarthy’s novel, Suttree, demonstrates the prejudice deeply ingrained within society, as well as the way it largely affects its readers. The misogynistic attitude is certainly not a new one. Women have been oppressed and viewed as less than men, in personal accounts and in narratives, for a long time. In the minds of the men in this novel, women are seen as merely an addition to men or an afterthought, and certainly not able to hold the value of a whole person on their own. The only real relationships with women the reader observes are Cornelius Suttree’s romance with Wanda, and then with Joyce. The lens through which Suttree views women is skewed, hostile and distrustful. He consistently views women as either irrational, emotional, or as purely sexual objects. There are many examples of the twisted language used to describe women, from Suttree’s wife, to his mother, to waitresses in restaurants, to these women with which he is intimate.

There is a very large majority of material written and taken down about the Iraq/Afghan war, and our libraries hold majority of these works of literature. This is a book review of the book “War” which is authored by Sebastian Junger and published by Hatchett Book Group in May of 2010.

It’s a title with a strong letter used as somewhat like a alliteration to exaggerate the ideas within this film, ‘V for Vendetta’, directed by James McTeigue, this defines what the true meaning of injustice which seems to be over exaggerated through action, sci-fi and thriller scenes. ‘V for Vendetta’ is a type of film where in a future, where there was a British tyranny or corruption in the government, a shadowy freedom fighter plots to overthrow it with the help of a young woman. This film shows the message of the best advice is to stop fighting it and embrace the fact that you have been given an opportunity if you chose to view it with a different set of eyes. And yet there will be many who miss this opportunity as they feel a false sense of security operating in the belief systems that harbor fear, anger and hate rather than letting go to face the very emotions that enslave them.This film uses fancy quotes or catch phrases, with a strong act of violence in acting around the main character(s), especially the protagonist ‘V’ and to the eventuality, ‘Evey’ at the end of the story. Special effects and the fanatical costume visuals (with the famous Guy Fawkes mask) all is used intently to make the audience with a tint of exhilarance, to make them think, what does this mean? What is the idea that V is trying to show in injustice? Through elements found in the film I’ve found that,......
