In the poem, he looks at the plight of various people such as Old Joe and concludes, “The naked man and woman are just a shining artifact of the past” (41).

Everyone's reaction, action, and thoughts in these years played apart in the creation of our world. Humans had to remake their lives because they were so torn up by the war.

The novel “War Horse” by Michael Morpurgo published in Great Britain in 1982, and the short stories “A Raid Night” by Henry Major Tomlinson (1922), “The French Poodle” by Wyndham Lewis (1916) and “Introduction to the Trenches” by Richard Aldington (1929) have views of traditional warrior values in a mechanized war. The authors use characters that possess at least one traditional warrior value; the authors show us how these traditional values interact with the war. The authors of the novels and short stories have a clear image of the traditional warrior values and when these traditional values are present in the war only bad things happen because of the conflict between warrior ideals of previous wars and mechanized warfare. Morpurgo shows us how courage and bravery could not prevent the slaughter of the cavalry unit which charged towards the German machine guns. In “A Raid Night” the speaker is disgusted by soldiers who kill innocent civilians, these soldiers are loyal to a fault. Lewis has a protagonist who is brave but he is also insane, the protagonist goes back to war and dies. Aldington makes fun of how of how the soldiers were fighting

She and her love are in such a perfect place, no one can touch them. All they need is themselves and their love and they are in a place, better than earth and away from all the wrongs and the “contrarious moods (11)” of men. Together they are above the angels, two souls united in “deep, dear silence (9)”

The image in question is of men doing work. In the background an innumerous number of men haul sacks up ladders the right up a muddy cliff face. On the left, few men are on the adjacent ladders. In the middle empty sacks and tool heads can be seen strun about a mound of earth part way up the cliff. Slightly off center, framed by the men is a single man propping himself against nearby mound of earth. This man is the focus of the entire piece. Sitting in the foreground, the man appears dirty and damp, as if he has endured a long day of physical labor. He looks at us, head tilted downwards, with a stern gaze and a furrowed brow. His face shows exhaustion and resilience, his body muscular and lean. This is only echoed by the color contrasts across

In The Third of May, 1808, you can see the lines of the guns from the men on the right drawing your eye to the men being shot at on the left. While the soldiers wear mostly dark clothes the few to the front grows lighter in their hue as to not be forgotten by the bright light being shown on the victims of the painting. Behind this scene, there are people in dark clothing or ones that almost fade into the hill behind them, that are cowering in fear.

Foremost, the entire background displays the prominent theme of war. The fiery sky shows the intensity of the war surrounding the characters, the fighter planes swooping in and all the wreckage convey that they are under attack. These images also indicate loss and tragedy. Sarah’s running conveys urgency and danger.

In the beginning it is implied that the young girl is cold and indifferent towards her lover and perhaps doesn’t share his same feelings. At the end of the affair, she comes to the understanding that her love for him may have been real after all. She also comes to the realization that love and hate can coexist. The tone of the novel was resentful, especially about her mother and older brother. The resentful tone of the novel ties back into the theme of love and pain.

The sum of the story revolves into a metaphor for love. Its ups and downs, hastiness and journey to and from has brought an abundance of emotion in this plot. It is mostly comprised from the dialogue and repetition the author ties together to its literals and figurative to represent love as a whole. This way the writer develops a sense of exposure within defining the characters thoughts and actions to understand the context of what is going on. Walking seems to be the central focus in the story. Walking signifies the progression of their love as they walk “one foot in front of the other, over leaves, through bridges.” It displays the increase in intensity about the realization of feelings and decisions being made. As much as for the story’s

The first is the idea of war vs. intimacy. As seen in the story, the war created an intimacy between people as they trapped because of the air raid. However, as quickly as it creates intimacy, war also tears apart this intimacy because as the air raid ends the citizens continue on with their life as if nothing happened. The second is the preconception of society vs intimacy. Inside this couple’s fantasy they faced problems concerning their relationship. Zongzhen already had a wife due to an arranged marriage while Cuiyuan was never treated with respect at the university and was encouraged not to be “so serious”.

(3\5), he or she evokes figuratively by signifying the way of how there is tenderness among his heart. When there is tenderness among his own heart, it affects his own instincts because he really has his own love and affection with the poor burning French ship. Although on the burning ship, the boy should be escaping from the burning ship, it is ironic to see how he does not react that he should escape to safety even though the ship is burning and sinking because of his own deep empathy of trying to save the burning ship. To add on, when using strong emotional words to show visual imagery such as “poor ship in flames” (5) to refer to how the boy “stood” on the burning ship (4), Here, this kind of tragic moment treats this like two beloved individuals wanting to die together to keep their love relationship in tact. Here, Elizabeth implies how the boy wanted to keep an eternity of love and loyalty in tact with the French ship and father with his own sacrifice.

Looking at the work for the first time, there is an intensity and excitement that overwhelms the viewer coming from the subject matter of lines and shapes that form a narrative for the piece. This work depicts a story of battle and a town in distress. The building in the background is in flames as a person is falling from a balcony of the burning building. There is a horse that whinnies while trampling dismembered limbs grasping a broken sword. A mother wails as she holds her injured or dying child in her arms, while the townspeople watch on holding their lamps out, stretching and bending their necks to see the commotion in horror and shock. A bull stands in the corner as a figure of anger and strength with a shocked look on its face, symbolizing the strong town that is now in the throes of a war like battle. The oval shaped light fitting beams over the battle suggesting that the action may have started inside and escalated into the streets as there is an open door on the left-hand side of the work.

More specific, in this photograph there is a young woman, sitting on the sofa with her hair done and she poses for a picture, even if she is not overjoyed. She does not smile and her eyes hide a fearful personality. The man though, who is standing behind her, he is really handsome, but he looks odd. His face seem to be enraged, although the way that he is holding the rope shows that he has the power, the power of abusing the opposite sex. Besides, both man and woman are dressed formal, but they are unhappy. They have different facial expression with each other. The male has the expression of achieving his goal, although the female has the expression of fear. They must be couple, but the woman seem to get used to have this improper relationship with her husband. On the other hand, the lady looks younger than the man and they live in a modern house, where they wearing expensive clothes.
