Desmond Doss Thesis Statement

There is one scene where the three flag raisers entered a crowded stadium before a football game which typified how an image of war can be so different to the reality of war. The flash photography, the cheering, the roar of the crowd all went to John Bradley’s head and he had flash backs of the fighting on Iwo Jima and the genuine heroes that he had left behind. This scene contrasts what the reality of war, were all the men are dug in and fighting for there life, and the images of war. Ira Hayes says “I know it’s a good thing, raising the money and that, ‘cause we need it. But, I can’t take them calling me a hero. All I did was try not to get shot. Some of the things I saw done, things I did, they weren’t things to be proud of, you know?” Clint Eastwood shows continuously, through his characters physiology shows how one single photo can be so different what really makes up the battle of Iwo Jima. The aim was to get war bonds; the minds of the three main characters through Clint Eastwood’s directing showed a strong insight to how the reality of a war and an image of war can be so contrasting.

During his time in Vietnam, he fought numerous battles and, but one of the most important battles he fought in was the Tet Counteroffensive after the Tet offensive (Fattore 1). The Tet Offensive and Counteroffensive were the climactic points of the war that turned America’s hope away from an American victory, and sent troops like Sergeant Fred Fattore into reinvigorated battles against Northern Vietnam, inducing physical and mental trauma.

On June 13, 1942 William “Wild Bill” Donovan set out to select, train, and assess hundreds of young enlisted and commissioned soldiers for the daunting task of operating behind enemy lines in World War II. Each of these soldiers would endure six to eight months of rigorous training that included small unit tactics, language, subversion, sabotage, logistical resupply, and supporting a resistance force. At the conclusion of training, eighty-three Americans would join the ranks of over a hundred Jedburgh teams that inserted into occupied France to disrupt Nazi forces. Their mission: organize, arm, and train groups of French resistance guerrilla and orchestrate the sabotage and guerrilla warfare activities to complement operations of the advancing

Ransom A Slack is the soldier that I made a biography on. He was a farmer as a young boy and continued through his life. As a child he had a brother and three sisiters. He worked as a farmer almost his full life before and after the war. Like most of the young men in vermont he went to the war to fight for his country. He thought of war to be thing that he must to as his duty. He went to war to get away from the hard work of daily life and to be honored.

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.

Desmond T. Doss, war hero of War World II. The amazing unarmed medic, who saved the lives of seventy-five men on Okinawa in 1945.And became the first conscientious objector to receive the medal of honor. Frances Doss, author of Desmond Doss: The Conscientious Objector, which is Desmond Doss wife, who wrote the book in his honor. In this essay, I will include the summary, authors purpose, audience, and narrative quality to provide a rhetorical analysis on Doss's book.

Viola Irene Desmond (born Davis) was a Canadian Black Nova Scotian and is one of the best trailblazers because she was successful, she wanted to make things right and she changed the world. She was strong, smart, entrepreneurial and generous. She was willing to change the dynamics of power and privilege and knew there was injustice in the system so she acted. Viola Desmond was born in Halifax on July 6 1914. She grew up with 10 siblings and had racially mixed parents.

Thesis Statement: William’s appeals to pathos emphasis the importance of questioning everything and uniting together connects the reader to the agony of losing a family member to cancer. Body Paragraph: Williams appeals to pathos asserts the importance of questioning everything and uniting together to achieve justice by connecting to readers who lost a member to cancer. Williams describes the fear of losing her mother when she states, “The fear and inability to question authority that ultimately killed rural communities in Utah during atmospheric testing of atomic weapons was the same fear I saw being held in my mother's body. Sheep. Dead sheep.

Desmond doss was most famous for his actions during the battle okinawa in the war in the pacific. The battle of Okinawa was arguably the bloodiest battle in the war of the pacific. Doss was a part of the 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division witch was a part of the second wave to attempt to take the island. They had to cross the beach and a make their way through dense jungle while being fired down on by the Japanese. Afterwards only thing that stood in their way was a 400 ft cliff that they had to scale using a cargo net to get to the Japones, who were atop it with their machine guns. Working as a field medic, doss was responsible for staunching wounds, lowering them down the cliff with a double bowline knot so they could get to the medical

Desmond-Harris paraphrases a conversation in paragraph two, where her mother says, “Your friend died”, “You know, that rapper you and Thea love so much!”. When her mother says that “your friend died”, it informs the reader that Desmond-Harris is a true fan of Tupac, and that Tupac is someone that helps her get through whatever she is going through, such as dealing with people at her school talking about her race. The relationship that Desmond-Harris has with her sister, is a very strong relationship. The reason for their strong relationship of course because the fact that they are sisters, and the fact that they are of the small group of mixed race kids in their school. However, she also has a very tight relationship with

Desmond Doss performed bravely in his first battle, as well as in the countless battles that followed. Though strongly discouraged by sergeants, captains, and medical officers, he would continually go on patrol with his platoon; any other man would never have thought to do so when given just one logical reason not to. He never faltered in treating his comrades, nor did he ever leave a man to die when there was a chance, even a slight one, at saving him. In another battle, this time on the island of Leyte, Doss darted straight into an open area alive with sniper fire to rescue a wounded man calling for help. After successfully and slowly dragging the soldier back to the retaining wall, he was told that he had been the target of a sniper during his entire rescue mission. “One of the sergeants told him, ‘Doss, we expected to see you killed any second. We couldn’t shoot the sniper without killing our own men, and he had his machine gun aimed right at you. Didn’t you see him?’” It was reported years later that a former Japanese soldier sitting on the back row of a church where an Adventist missionary had been preaching Doss’s story told a

1.State in your own words the writer's thesis statement. What is the problem they are arguing and what is the solution they propose?  If you have difficulty putting the thesis in your own words, state so and explain why. The thesis of this essay is about the young generation, young people with no vision, who don’t have any models to guide their lives and therefore they choose illegal ways to build their future, ending up by loosing their lives.

Desmond Doss became the First Soldier to win the Medal Of Honor without carrying a weapon. In the movie Hacksaw Ridge Desmond made two major decisions that could have affected him very greatly and I will show how I would handle these decisions and how it can correlate to me. The movie is about Desmond Doss an army medic who went to war without a weapon.After this Desmond was sentenced to Okinawa Japan and was commanded to go and secure Hacksaw Ridge. Therefore after days of heavy fighting the us army retreated from Hacksaw but not Desmond. Desmond stayed on the ridge to try and secure fallen us soldiers without a gun, backup, and was surrounded by Japanese troops. Thou Desmond stayed on the mountain the entire night and rescued fallen

I. Title/Author: Gerald R. Winslow: A Sect for Society II. Thesis Statement: Adventists can abide in the way of the cross, understand the universal work of Christ, and take part in the renovation of the world’s common ethic to accomplish their roles in society. III. Overview: Gerald R. Winslow begins by questioning the social responsibilities Adventists have in the world and the ways in which the duties should be brought forth. He refers to the Adventists as “transformative minorities” who are bestowed “special gifts” (serving the God of love and power), and calls for distribution of the gifts to cultivate an apocalyptic view in the contemporary culture.

In the movie Hacksaw Ridge it did helped me understand to topic of the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. The movie helped me picture the historical portrayal of Private Doss saving each and every soldier that fought in the war. Is showed the way he was strong saving them and also for keeping his faith in God throughout his position in the military. Doss had enlisted as a medic and refused to carry a rifle. In reality there are men in the military that refuse to pick up a rifle due to them having a promise with God and/or obey the 10 commandments. I understand it better after the movie because of them showing how he did it saving the soldiers in the hacksaw ridge, the reaction of the soldiers when the captains ordered him to pick up a rifle, and how the Japanese quickly killed them as soon as they saw them. Throughout the movie I just thought first how strong he was to go back and save any soldier that was alive because nobody now a day has the guts to do that and second to keep his faith and promise with god. Also for his dad not accepting Doss and his brother to join the army, and the still joined to protect their country. The movie Red Tails showed me that it doesn’t matter what color, heritage, or male/female you can do anything. It was the Tuskegee Airmen that were African Americans that were servicemen during the World War II. Ever men had a hard time trying to do their job and to fit it even though there was hard times to do that in the same time. In today’s world
