Desmond Doss Character Analysis

Inherit the Wind is a play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee that depicts the infamous Scopes Trial. The real names of the persons involved in the case were changed, however, the play recounts the same story. One journalist in the story, E.K. Hornbeck, who is closed-minded, a hypocrite, and very cynical proves that the religious community of Hillsboro is not the only one to be intolerant.

His company was charged with the objective to take Hacksaw Ridge. Through out the battle they faced heavy opposition and they all showed courage, but that wasn’t Doss’s great accomplishment…that came later. After the majority of his company retreated he stayed on the ridge to save as many people as he could. He saved a grand total of 75 men by dragging them off the battle field and using a rope to lower them down the steep cliff. This went on for 12 hours. In a documentary he said that he just kept praying, 'Lord, please help me get one more.’ And he did… about 75 times. He received the Congressional Medal Of Honor for his actions on Hacksaw Ridge. He was the only conscientious objector to do so in WWII.

When thinking about the well known comedy Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare the audience is quick to focus on the wit and comedy that the play has to offer, rather than the understated villain who easily disappears in the background. While reading the play, one can posit that Don John is not the typical villain who acts with a specific motive in mind, rather, he is acting out of an obligation he feels to serve as an antagonist considering his position as a bastard. This is demonstrated in his dialogue, which reveals his inner turmoil on being chained to the villainous role and his willingness to act on any malicious opportunity that presents itself to him. This is significant in that, it provides another layer to our villain and causes the audience to think beyond the first layer that is easily presented, and into the true inner motives of the character.

Instead, he put himself in harms way in order to not only accomplish the mission, but to ensure that the few Marines he still had fighting would not be over run. Non Commissioned Officers are called on daily to put the needs of the Marines under their charge above their own. As we move on to more recent examples of exemplary NCOs, one would be remiss to not remember Cpl Jason Dunham. Cpl Dunham was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Iraq in 2004. Again, no better justice can be done than to read his citation. "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Rifle Squad Leader, 4th Platoon, Company K, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines (Reinforced), Regimental Combat Team 7, First Marine Division (Reinforced), on 14 April 2004. Corporal Dunham's squad was conducting a reconnaissance mission in the town of Karabilah, Iraq, when they heard rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire erupt approximately two kilometers to the west. Corporal Dunham led his Combined Anti-Armor Team towards the engagement to provide

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

Both men, McMurphy and Luke were turned into examples, much like Jesus Christ and left behind a legacy. Luke at the prison was cool without a doubt, motivating all the prisoners to follow his lead which attracted attention of the authority who believed that Luke had to be dealt with since he was getting out of line and also taking the other prisoners with him 'Thats my darling luke, grins like a baby bites like a gator' we see here in this qoute that dragline was one of many whose heart Luke won, dragline calls him 'darling' which shows how much luke is loved by his fellow prisoners and what a huge impact he has had on their personality. When McMurphy started popping the bubbles of the 'rabbits', making them realize that they had been ripped

According to the website dedicated to preserving the memory of what he accomplished, Doss was born in a small town in Virginia to a Christian household. Because of this, he vowed to never take life and to never hold grudges.

Doss was awarded many other medals, including two bronze stars for valour. Parades were held in his honour, highways in the United States were named after him, a guesthouse at a Medical Centre in Washington D.C. bears his name, as does a Christian Academy in Virginia. Doss was a corporal who never killed another human being, whose only weapon was his Bible and his faith in God. He was a man whose courage saved many lives.

In the Vietnam War, Specialist Fourth Class John Baca not only led his team to a firing position, but also risked his life to save his team. Baca was behind his team when a grenade was thrown into the air. When it landed, he capped the fragmentation grenade with his helmet and jumped on top of it, completely disregarding his own safety. Also in the Vietnam War, Specialist Fifth Class Clarence Sasser crawled through a field of explosions and smoke to save his men. Specialist Sasser assisted one soldier to safety and was shot in the shoulder by pieces of an exploding rocket. Even after sustaining painful injuries, Specialist Sasser drug himself through the bloody battlefield to continue saving any wounded soldier he could. Both Specialist Fourth Class Baca and Specialist Fifth Class Sasser were presented with the Medal of Honor posthumously. In addition to these Medal of Honor recipient’s, the Medal of Honor has been awarded over 3,400 times by the President of the

Desmond doss is a hero because he had to go through the pain at the end after saving all of those people he was covered in bandages and fractured his arm and he was bleeding a lot and the thing he got back for all of this is the medal of honor and the respect of his fellow soldiers which is good because his fellow soldier did not believe in him at all and thought not much of him when he went into the war and saved many people and after that they gave him all the respect that they

Ray was a very inspiring man (just like his mother). Ray organized a reaction force and quickly moved through 2 kilometers of mountains, and jungle terrain to the contact area. After breaking through the hostile lines to reach the beleaguered patrol, captain Ray began directing the reinforcements of the site. He saved 3 of his men with a heavy volume of automatic weapons fire. He silenced the enemies with a grenade. That must have took a lot of bravery to go through that and not freak out. Two months after his first heroic deed, Captain Ray saved two soldiers from a grenade. Hero, Ronald Ray shielded two of his men with his own body! Cap.Ray saw the grenade near two men and automatically, without hesitation jumped in front of them shielding them from the force of it. It's a human instinct to run away from danger and to go into “Fight or Flight Mode” but he ignored his fear to save two others lives. Out of care, bravery,gratitude,and honor he was a savior to 5 people in combat or more,that's more than people can say they have done.In veitnam only 2.59 Million people servived, and think if this amazing hero hadnt saved these lives, there familys would never see them again. Out of respect,honor,bravery,Captain Ronald E. Ray has earned one of the highest awards in the united states, the medal of honor. Even when he passes to his next life we still will remember and honor the amazing soul of Ronald Eric

During the play “Journey’s End”, the playwright R.C. Sherriff develops the character of Stanhope and encourages the audience to admire the character. He achieves this with vivid descriptions and illustrations of Stanhope in relation to other characters. Stanhope is initially characterised as a bad leader, but as the play progresses the audience is able to view him more positively. The playwright’s use of shifts in mood and characterisations contributes to his intention to make Stanhope admired by the audience.

Desmond Doss is one of the most famous U.S conscientious objector in all of U.S military service history. Desmond Doss is known for his brave work at Hacksaw Ridge in Okinawa by single handily saving 75 men by means of carrying them and by manoeuvring them down with his unique rope technique which earned him the medal of honour in October the 12th 1945. Therefore making him the first ever conscientious objector in U.S military history to receive the award. Desmond Doss’s legacy has been shown throughout the ages in television, documentaries and now in the latest 2016 movie entitled Hacksaw Ridge after the real life spot in Okinawa. The movie depicts the true story of U.S serviceman and conscientious objector Desmond Doss in his journey to Hacksaw Ridge. At First Desmond Doss was not fond of people making films or being portrayed in any sort of media because of the inaccuracies that these films might would portray of him because he was deeply focused on his religion and as a seventh day Adventist. But an agreement was soon with him and his firm.

Desmond Doss Saved 75 lives of his fallen comrades through courage and bravery when the odds were stacked against him. His unit retreated and he was the last of his unit still in the battlefield that wasn't injured. Mel Gibson really shows How brave Desmond truly was while facing the enemy barehanded. Throughout the night Desmond was constantly saving his fallen comrades who in the beginning thought he was a coward and wouldn’t help save them at all. When Desmond save as many comrades as he could find. After he is brought back to the camp with all of the men from his unit he saved. In the middle of the conversation with his squad his commander came in a told him that they were going to be going into battle again tomorrow which was his day of sabbath. The next morning Desmond’s squad would not leave until Desmond was done praying for all of them. I feel it was more because his squad members felt that if they were to be injured they could have faith that Desmond would make sure they have the best chance for survival. When they climbed up to the battlefield they were there for a short time before they were ambushed and two grenades got
