Bamber Bridge Thesis

On this unique day in Alabama, Peyton fahrquhar found himself in a very compromising position. Peyton found himself in on the edge of the owl creek bridge standing on the end of the board with a noose tied around his neck. Peyton was surrounded by many army soldiers, many of them were also armed with rifles. Peyton described his surroundings a being very rural, with a swiftly moving stream below the very bridge they were standing on. Time is a variable component, yet it is additionally of principal significance throughout everyday life. Time is man's strategy for estimation, recording history and checking minutes in a person’s life. In Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" the story of the catch of an Alabama warrior by the Northern armed force loans emotional and less than ideal impacts to his last hours.

When looking through the pages of history, without any doubt one will eventually find themselves reading the detailed recounts of crimes committed during War. When read from the perspective of those who experienced the events, we can feel their pain, desperation and helplessness. From those who enforced these ordeals onto others, we delve into their minds and see the world as they did; what drove their actions and how they felt.

In the aftermath of a comparatively minor misfortune, all parties concerned seem to be eager to direct the blame to someone or something else. It seems so easy to pin down one specific mistake that caused everything else to go wrong in an everyday situation. However, war is a vastly different story. War is ambiguous, an enormous and intangible event, and it cannot simply be blamed for the resulting deaths for which it is indirectly responsible. Tim O’Brien’s story, “In the Field,” illustrates whom the soldiers turn to with the massive burden of responsibility for a tragedy. The horrible circumstances of war transform all involved and tinge them with an absurd feeling of

“These things all went together to make the most hateful, most beautiful single scene I have ever known” (Pyle). “ ‘come then, let us go forward together with our United strength’ “( “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat”). The people of Britain are still recovering from the attacks in 1940. Many of the civilians were scared for

Both The Hurt Locker and The Forever War discuss revenge as an integral part of the violent experience of the war. Bigelow begins this discussion by examining revenge as the rationale behind Sergeant James’ erratic and violent tendencies, and Filkins completes this discussion by thoroughly studying the prevalence of revenge as the propelling factor of violence. In The Hurt Locker, the largely unpredictable character of Sergeant William James becomes primarily understood by his desire to avenge the supposed death of Beckham, a young Iraqi boy from whom he buys DVDs. Here,

In regards to war, Gandhi once commented, “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary, the evil it does is permanent.” In other words, violence masks its potential impairment by seeming innocuous at first; however, the true damage, often permanent, can be seen chronically. The idea reflected by Gandhi’s quote can be proven through an examination of World War I and Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. Although soldiers and governments in both worlds initially saw honor and security of their countries as valid reasons for going to war, what ultimately came of that conflict were both immediate consequences, such as loss of innocence and development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (often referred to as PTSD) among young soldiers, as well as permanent, long-term consequences, like the hatred the war had spurred in Germans which ultimately ensued to Hitler’s rise to power.

On the night of the massacre the 8th regiment and 29th regiment had a conflict with a crowd of patriots. It all began with some schoolboys in King Street who threw snowballs at the soldiers of the 8th regiment. Sooner, a crowd gathered and continued throwing snowballs, ice, and rocks while also taunting the soldiers. Consequently, the 29th regiment was called, consisting of nine soldiers, for backup. The captain, Captain Thomas Preston, commanded the soldiers not to shoot while the crowd chanted “Fire and be damned.” Contradictory, someone fired at the crowd. It can be concluded that the soldier may, perhaps, did not hear the command due to the loud chaos. Now the question lies between on who was right. Is it wrong to turn to violence when pushed to the breaking point? Or is it wrong to torment those who have also tormented

“FIRE!” the captain screamed. The battle was at a draw with both the British and Americans firing volley after volley of lead at each other. The air was filled with smoke, the screams of dying men, and rumble of artillery near by. Then, all of a sudden the British pulled back and headed to their camp. The Americans were also heading back to their camp. The battle had started 2 days ago and both sides couldn’t break each other’s hold on the other. Both generals didn’t know what to do, but both vowed to never surrender.

With intricate detail the author explains these events as frightening and overwhelmingly difficult to tolerate. Beah, exposed to combat at age 12, was traumatized by battle and portrays details of the horrifying events through imagery. “When the rebels finally came I was cooking... My heart was beating faster than it ever had. Each gunshot seemed to cling to the beat of my heart.”

The riot between these people was “in protest to the abuses that local white civilians had perpetrated against the soldiers and the lack of concern about those abuses shown by the unit’s commanders.” Although this began in 1917, this was not the end of the riots, but instead, it was just the beginning.

The powerful influx of African-Americans into the Detroit area led to heightened racial tensions that was seen nationwide at the time. The white supremacy group, the Ku Klux Klan, dug itself into the Detroit region as early as the 1920s, making life more difficult through means of housing. “White communities militantly guarded the dividing lines imposed by segregation throughout Detroit 's history. As a result, the city 's 200,000 black residents were cramped into 60 square blocks on the East Side and forced to live under deplorable sanitary conditions. Ironically, the ghetto was called Paradise Valley (American Experience).” These events eventually culminated into a series of race riots that required military intervention on various occasions and even with the aid, fatalities were inevitable. The worst of the early riots was in 1943 after which troops were stationed in the region for 6 months to help maintain the peace. All of this was spurred by the Civil War leading into a new age for african-americans to be free and was catalyzed by World War I and II.

It was July 25th, 1946, when a white mob in Georgia stopped a car carrying two African American couples, the mobbed then dragged them out and shot them to death. One of the victims, George Dorsey, was a military veteran who had just returned from serving five years overseas in World War II. His wife, Mae Dorsey, was also killed. Dorothy Malcom, the other woman in the car, was seven months pregnant. The mob cut her open and removed her unborn child. Her husband, Roger, had just been bailed out of jail after he was accused of stabbing a white man. An investigator estimated people in the crowd fired more than 60 plus shots at the two couples at close range. The horrific attack happened near Walton County, Georgia, not far from Moore’s Ford Bridge.

In the early years of the great migration, violence among races would spread throughout America. Beginning in 1917 and ending in what is now known as the Red Summer of 1919, these racially charged mobs were a product of the integration of black people. This started in St. Louis when black workers were used in breaking up a strike but a white man was accidentally killed by a black man during the event. Eventually, the story was spun into the black man killing white girls. This put the city into an uproar and mobs moved through the city killing or attacking any black people they could find. The next major incident was when a few black children were stone for accidentally drifting into a white only part of the beach. After a few misguided arrests,

The First World War witnessed an appalling number of casualties. Due partly to this fact, some historians, developed the perception that commanders on both sides dependence on only one disastrous approach to breaking the stalemate. These historians attributed the loss of life to the reliance on soldiers charging across no-man’s land only to be mowed down by enemy machineguns. The accuracy of this, however, is fallacious since a variety of tactics existed on both sides. The main reason for battlefield success and eventual victory came from the transformation of battlefield tactics; nevertheless, moral played a major role by greatly affecting the development of new tactics and the final outcome of the war.
