During boot camp, we were taught about the Battle of Fallujah, but after reading this book, I was able to understand so much better. I was able to picture their tactics, strategies, their emotions, and why the Marines were called the “Greatest Generation.”

His feats; and his mistakes, help you learn what the Lieutenant at the time was thinking, but also what to do in the situations he was in. The author is quite honest with his experiences in Vietnam. In the eighth chapter, he gets back to his platoon after he got wounded after setting booby trap while on patrol. Right when he got back, they proceeded with the previous plan of constant patrolling.

The book “Fly Boy” is written by Eric Walters and was published on December,28,2010 . The genre of the book is mainly historical fiction. Historical fiction is a literary genre, so the plot takes place from a setting that was located in the past. The setting takes place in Toronto,Ontario where Robbie and his best friend, Chip is waiting for his train. The place of the story occurred in England,Europe, where the problem began. The time of the story was pinpointed at 1943 where World War 2 has begun.

In the Lord of the Flies, a group of boys were all found on the same plane flying over the ocean in the midst of WWII. In the center of an air battle, the boys find their plane venturing down at a rapid rate. After the plane crashes to the ground, the boys realize they are

The Lord Of The Flies is a Nobel prize winning novel, written by William Golding. Who was an English teacher in 1930’s. The novel is about a group of young British school boys who find themselves deserted on an island in the Pacific Ocean and are forced to fight for themselves. This has a unique symbolism of characters and the events. The young boys don’t know how to fight for themselves and turn into complete savages by the end of the Novel and they have some freedom from the adult rules they are familiar with back at home.

Fly Away Peter, written by David Malouf, exposes Australian soldiers’ horrific involvement in World War I by utilising a variety of literary devices to convey his central ideas. Through the experiences of the protagonist, Jim Saddler, Malouf establishes the destructive nature of war on the natural environment, by employing foreshadowing and contrasting imagery. To further highlight the destructive nature of war, Malouf emphasises the dehumanising state of the soldiers by utilising inter-textuality and grotesque imagery. To overcome the destructions of war, Malouf demonstrates Jim’s unique ability to employ a separate reality as a coping mechanism through the bird motif. Lastly, Malouf highlights the perpetuity of life’s natural cycles through

While I read this book, I felt scared, sad, and happy at times. Mix of emotions because this book isn’t easy to swallow, those soldiers were going through rough times. Some of these soldiers lost hope in life, a lot of them cried, and suffered. My favorite passage was “The Artillery at Hazel Grove” because it offered them hope in winning due to powerful equipment.

Overall the book is a great historical book that teaches people not just about the horrors of the war but those who continued to fight for the justice for all humans. It explains the difficulty of finding these people and the amount of work required to find and capture these

Special Forces soldiers work in foreign lands with situations which are not always completely clear from its beginning. The Special Operation Imperatives serve as the base for success by providing the framework to develop and assist the host nation in achieving their desired goals. Through this essay I will use the novel “The Ugly American” (William J. Lederer & Eugene Burdick) to provide context to the benefits of applying such imperatives and the consequences of improper application. I will bring to light the actions of the characters and depict the reasons why the application of the imperative made the character succeed or fail in his desired goal.

The subject of this book has affect my life by serving as a reality check of what my Marine predecessors went through in order for me to be able to obtain the deep-rooted fighting tactics today. I will never have to deal with and survive the adversities that the Marines of Fox Company did. It also affected me by teaching me that as a Marine, no matter what struggles may present themselves, I will always thrive and keep fighting.

The book says the assistant Chief of Air Staff, Intelligence, wrote it but they never gave an actual name for this person. The photos, maps, and charts definitely help the reader better understand and get a feel for what was going on. In the first essay JP the editor wrote a description of Beirne Lay, making it a secondary source. The footnotes and descriptions of the photos were written by the assistant chief of air staff, intelligence, were primary as well as the essays written by Lay and LeMay. I feel the author accomplished the purpose of informing the general public of the true happenings of WWII. The authors showed real pictures from history with historical facts in the footnotes. The article titled Ascension’s problems, birds are in majority, says “The offender is the sooty tern or Wide-awake, the name, the name ironically given to the ATC Field at Ascension.” Talks about the issues they had with birds taking over the airfield, they would go up in the air by the thousands when a plan would take off, they would also fly into the planes and damage them. Without this information being released the general public would have no idea about this issue they

As for this book investigation, the novel for this assignment is called, When Books Went to War, by Molly Guptill Manning. The purpose of this novel is to demonstrate how books helped soldiers in World War II. Throughout this book, it explains how American troops read textbooks to help escape the world around them. Soldiers turn to books to release the tension they have from the war. Most of the time veterans feel lonely or depressed and by reading novels, it helps them to manage their emotions. This novel is written because it indicates how powerful books are towards people. These books have the power to “... soothed troubled minds and hearts...” (Manning 110). As the author claims, books helped win World War II.

In the midst of the 1950's, the Cold War begins. While in that period, William Golding creates Lord of the Flies published in 1954. This is a novel about young school boys crash landing on an island. The boys on the island let the fear of something inside of them be in control. In the story, there are lots of events that take place and characters that take part. Golding uses Roger to show that there are those who resort to violence and savagery when laws are not in place.

Combining all these serious themes into a very entertaining book should attract many readers. However, there was some confusion with the story line. Since this book is a collection of interviews, it wasn’t a conventional story. When I first started the book, I wasn’t sure why I was jumping from country to country and why each story was completely different. As I continued to read the book, I was able to understand that these were a collection of eyewitness accounts of the war. Also, Max Brooks uses a rife amount of vulgar language which I think could have been kept out. However, it made it real and that’s what this book is about.

World War II caused an amount of destruction and harm that no human being had ever seen before, many were disgusted and outraged by the results of this war. It was a very memorable event; one that authors tend to write about a lot, even to this day. One author in particular, WIlliam Golding, uses his world famous piece of literature Lord of the Flies as a political allegory to World War 2. In his classic novel, he shows little boys who are flown out to avoid the danger of being bombed and become trapped on an island. While they are trapped, the boys develop separate ways of leading each other which leads to conflict and violence, similar to the governments in which were clashing with each other during World War 2 at the time. Through the differences of these boys, Golding shows to us how they relate to the major leaders of World War 2 (Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt, and Neville Chamberlain), and how democracy is the best way to govern people.
