Band Of Brothers Chapter Summaries

The rambunctious behavior of the soldier’s triumphant victory is a strong message visually for the viewer. These soldiers struggle to find their identity and once the war ends, the identity they’ve build at war vanishes, (McCutcheon, 2007). As a result, they essentially lose a part of them selves, (McCutcheon, 2007). When they return home, many soldiers struggle with psychological issues that prevent them from resuming their once regular lives, (McCutcheon, 2007). The images of soldiers celebrating at the end of war give the viewer a taste of this problem. This also allows the viewer insight to the deeper issues surrounding an American soldier’s mental stability and mentality. Through this image, along with many others throughout the film, the viewer is able to dig deeper and truly analyze what they are seeing.

Henry is the most venerable character from his courage at the end of the book, Winston Smith is the biggest victim from all of his suffering from Big Brother, and Lady Macbeth is the most malicious villain for encouraging and pushing Macbeth to commit regicide.

The First Modern Campaign: Kennedy, Nixon, and the Election of 1960 was written by Gary A. Donaldson. It was published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers in the United States in 2007 and it is 199 pages long. The central thesis of the book is that the 1960 presidential election marked a turning point in how presidential candidates convinced people to vote for them. Donaldson places a major emphasis on the role that image played in this election. John F. Kennedy had a fantastic image, which was manufactured by public relations people and broadcasted to the nation by television, and it certainly was a factor in his victory. Donaldson clearly shows that this election was unlike any other before it in history. He used over 100 sources from archival collections, interviews, books, articles, and government documents to make this argument on both Kennedy’s and Nixon’s campaign, as well as Johnson’s campaign.

The intercalary chapters not only offer different viewpoints but also a clearer picture of the social issues occurring in South Africa. Paton sets the novel in 1946, which was only two years before racial segregation was fully legalized under apartheid. Many critics see his novel as his way to show how “Africans are exploited, mistreated, harried unmercifully…and the whites are responsible for unfair land distribution, slum growth, unjust laws, and the disintegration of native tribal structure” (Marcus). He does this by showing the effects that racial segregation has had on some of the major cities, such as Johannesburg, and to Ndotcheni, the small town where Kumalo lives with his congregation. In the main story, Johannesburg is shown “as a society which was created by white people and where black people are lost…and persons loose their orientation because social customs are incalculable” (Gohrisch). In chapter nine, the reader can fully understand that “Johannesburg is represented as a white man’s world, where only the white man’s standards are valid” (Matlaw) In the city, Africans must follow white
