It didn’t take long. Once dressed we called for food and ate our fill. We gobbled it up in record time, even though the food tasted overly salted. Apparently, the ship had slipped into the harbor just after dawn, the light had chased just enough of the shadows away to safely navigate. From the tiny window I saw half-a-dozen warships docked on the far side of walled harbor, their canvas sails all tidy and furled against their spars. Since, we weren’t in a hurry to get on deck, we both stayed in the cabin until the ship sounds changed to the shouts of dockworkers unloading cargo. It allowed me enough time to pen a letter to Derwen, so she’d know I was thinking of her. Julie took that time to record a message to Kate about our trip and status, …show more content…
Tall towers loomed over the town and harbor, stout fortified walls secured it. Due to its geographical location, the harbor played an important role in the continent’s trade routes. The natural harbor was deep and secure from the most violent of storms. While ferocious storms were rare in this hemisphere, they did happen and sailors required such a sanctuary. Our sailors told me the tides and trade winds were very favorable here too. Wool and metals, and strangely enough cooking vessels, were a major export for this port, along with slaves. From my sources, I knew they imported a lot of grain and wine from the Amarian coast, fish and expensive handcrafted goods from Convey. Indeed, Juniper Hills had recently been added as a supplier of fish too. Like Port City in Convey, Derwen was sensing Conquest Point was becoming too regulated, and she feared it might suffer an economic decline in the future. With the ascending trade hubs of more free towns like Juniper Hills and West Branch, she expected some trade to shift. Nevertheless, the city state’s greatest asset was its large, secure harbor and prime
Not a word was spoken as an array of people, including myself, studied the pictures of that horrific day that aligned the wall of the dimmed entrance to the 9/11 Memorial Museum. The silence was an eerie and somber stillness that invoked grief into the hearts of all, even those such as myself who were too young to even remember the terror that took place nearby. Projected on the pillars were the stories of people and their reactions to the attack as it was happening, adding to the solemn mood. Already, even before I had reached the part that was the museum, a heavy grief for people that I never even knew swelled in my heart.
Forces were coming up the shoreline soon they would arrive at the harbor. For the first time in two hundred years, Brokka was coming under attack. Men were preparing for battle, women, and children to leave, things were a mess.
"9.5 billion people killed during the initial start of the War of Nations,also known as "The Great Bombing Raid", over the next 4 year, millions more became sick with radiation poisoning and died while those that..." the history professor said as he droned on about how everything came about. Ariella let out of sigh of boredom tapping her pencil against the notebook in front of her. She had already read through the whole entire course book already learning that the war had created two separate races the "Ningen" and the "Senshi" which were enemies since the Senshi could shapeshift into certain animals and the Ningen couldn't.
As I walked through the rugged trenches of World War 1 a bullet flew over my head.I jumped for shelter.As soon as that happened a cluster of German soilders came sprinting towards my position.They were trying to infiltrate my trench.Then I woke up it was a flashback in my memory.This was one of many daily flashbacks.Lately they had been occurring more often than before.The doctor came to me accost he said there was only one unequivocal cure...going back.I had pondered about it a lot and I have now become more submissive to the theory.It was still an agitation to me.I went down to my basement to the lopsided time machine I had erected many years ago.
6. A strong fighter element should be included in the attack for air cover for the fleet
The sky closes in, blanketing the field, As bullets tightly embrace the atmosphere. Echoing cracks of the deadly calibres, Pierces and spears through the millions of fleshes.
Once , I Was in World History class in 10th grade.I had a teacher,who always gave her opinion on History with irrelevant topic .She was Hawaiian , which makes her very sensitive to events in history such as WWII ,the Hiroshima Bombing,and Pearl harbor because her uncle was paralyzed by the bombing of Pearl Harbor.WWII was the only topic we learned for the entire semester because her family raised her to believe it was a very important event in History and it changed the entire.Therefore,I had a hard time passing tests and quizzes because of the depth of each question.The questions were really difficult unless you were passion about this particular part of World History.Therefore,many minority students struggle because such events in class feel irrelevant, not pertaining to their culture, and society we live in.
Are both of you doing fine? I miss you all so much. It's been a month since I've written a letter for both of you. Sorry for making you guys waited for so long. The Battle of Vimy Ridge ended a few days ago, and I am glad I got the chance to write a letter for both of you. As I mentioned in the previous letter, I was hired by Canada to be the war artist. I was excited at the moment when I was told to do so, but my feeling faded during the real battle. This was the most intense battle that I had ever seen in my whole life. I was frightened and feel like escaping during the battle because I do not want to sacrifice my life.Constant shelling of the lines was a daily part of my life. Bombs, Bullets and dead body were surrounded me. Some of the
Overview: On the night of July 4th 2026, the unthinkable happened. The North crossed over the border to the South, and the war among the Koreans has begun. The second the North crossed over the border all hands were on deck. Here in Allendale, California the news struck hard, in the military barracks all had become havoc, for the worst that was imagined had begun.
I am writing you now to express my regret for thrashing out on you. I understand now that you were just trying to prepare us for the war. Experiencing the war has been something I will never forget. I thought that it would be something that I would never forget for a the good, but to my surprise it is the exact opposite. The things that I saw can never be unseen. I have stood by soldiers watching their life drain. Being in the war has changed me and I do not know if it is for the better. The war has aged me beyond my years and I did not know how to deal with it. This is why I started to act out. My regression was uncalled for and I did not mean it against you. This was my way of coping with the losses of my fellow soldiers and what I saw in
The world turned to into a battle zone, the death toll was around five billion. The war lasted for ten years.”She lays pictures on the table. They're yellowed and worn. Their depiction’s showing horrid things: women, children, and men hiding under debris, and the remnants of buildings, their eyes wide with fear. Colossal building reduced to rubble and ash. Deep trenches dividing the land, men with huge guns by their sides. Worst of all, the amount of dead bodies strewn over the imploding streets, like glitter thrown in the air. How could people do that, and feel justified? “The aftermath was disastrous.” She says, “ Cities that were once thriving, cultural centers, were now piles of glass, brick, cement, and crumbling ruins. The land that was
It started off like any normal day. Tony had gone to Paul’s house over the weekend. Paul’s parents had gone to Hawaii for a vacation and had not contacted Paul at all over the weekend. Paul thought this was strange. His parents usually always contact him when they are away. “Hey Tony, have you gotten any texts from my parents by any chance?” Asked Paul. “No I haven’t. I don’t even have service.” Said Tony. “That’s weird, I don’t have service either.” Said Paul. The two boys were now starting to get worried. A few minutes later, they heard a huge bang outside. The boys ran downstairs and looked out the window. The sky looked green and there was smoke everywhere. “What’s that over there?” Asked Tony. In the distance, they saw armored vehicles
“He is the goblin general who has done a fine job uniting the goblin nation into a cohesive entity with direction and purpose.”
“In today’s news, a large scale virtual attack has been made on Indonesia. The attacker is unknown.” were the words that rang through millions of televisions in 2024 and nobody thought much of it.
The major motion picture, Pearl Harbor, reflects upon a war that occurred a few decades ago rather than the documentary filmed very shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Both movies depict the attack as one that will live on in infamy, but the documentary takes a spiteful vengeance towards Japan because it was filmed during a time of hatred towards the Japanese, our enemy. While the newer movie has given us time to reflect upon the war and realize that we both underestimated the enemy and knew very little about the other. While one movie was in black and white and the other was in color with millions spent on the fighting scenes, they both depict the same war. I felt that there was too much
