“He suddenly lost concern for himself, and forgot to look at a menacing fate. He became not a man but a member.” (Crane, Chapter 5) “The Red Badge of Courage” written by Stephen Crane is a story taking place during the Civil War. It is about a young new recruit of the Union Army named Henry Fleming. He flees from battle, but as he feels really shameful he returns to his regiment. There are many themes in the story, as Henry longs for courage and man hood, but along the way he learns self preservation.

As you know I am writing to you from the trenches of the western front in France. The United States of America joined this heinous war in the spring of nineteen hundred seventeen. We joined the fight because of the sinking of the Lusitania and when the German Kiaser sent the note to Mexico to convince them to put themselves against us to assure we will not go to war in Europe. That did not go through because the economic condition of Mexico is not that good enough to fight in a war with the United States.

Nowadays, cross-cultural communication is one of the keys to survive in this society. It plays an important role in our society. The book, A long way gone: Memoirs of a boy soldier, describes several cross cultural issues. This book is based on the true story of Ishamel Beah, who was solder in Republic of Sierra Leone. During his life time, he face a number of cultural shocks and tried to adapt each situation. Through story of his life, we can recognize some cultural differences and similarities between his central culture, Sierra Leon, and other individuals/groups. Thus, in this essay, I would like to discuss how are cultural differences and similarities between Ishamel’s culture and other cultures revealed. There are three main points; cultural differences shows cultural conflict and cultural integration, and cultural similarities reflects the Americanization.

The Civil War officially started in 1861, yet problems between the North and the South date back as far as the early 1830s. The North was infuriated over slavery after a woman by the name of Harriet Beecher Stowe published her book Uncle Tom's Cabin. Stowe's book analyzed the life of a slave in an astonishing and realistic way. It caused many people to join the Union. Then the war began in July of 1861 when a Confederate army met with a Federal army at Manassen, Virginia. Many battles were fought until finally the north was victorious. Slavery was abolished, and the federal government's power was set as supreme power over all the land.

Henry, the main character from, "The Red Badge of Courage" by Stephan Crane, showed many different emotions and reactions to battle. The essay will show how nature and human life are similar. In the same sense that the emotions that Henry portrayed fear and bravery in numerous occasions throughout the story; in the end his youthfulness got the best of him. In the first battle Henry stayed with his unit. However, in the second battle, he ran away from the battle. From these two extremely different reactions, it can be determined that Henry was going through internal battles as well as external battles.

This is not an easy task for him either he had a heart of a cowboy but a mindset of the military there's a saying he said you're not a real cowboy until you break a horse. Which I really don't understand but growing up to be a cowboy he learned the importance of family and your neighbors and how to respect and treat them as a kid he also grew up knowing that money was never the most important thing in life whatever makes you happy makes you happiest father always used to on this. To me I feel like this is what made him join the military because it's something he really wanted to do you know his father always told him do what you want to do and he felt like this is what he needed to

1. Crane appeared to be enthusiastic, as he used a fresh approach, to write about the war. There are two quotes, from the story, which, exactly, reveal this. From the first of the quotes, ("...As the landscape charged from brown to green, the the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors..."), we can tell, that something exciting, in a dramatic way was going on. We can, also, begin to see, that the army seemed to be fighting for something big, since it is mentioned, in the text, that they were awakened, suddenly. The army was fighting, for something they, probably, wanted, badly, as we can see, that the army "began to tremble with eagerness"). The second quote, from the story, which reveals Crane's fresh approach, was ("He was swelled with a tale he had heard from a reliable friend...").

Into the mouth of hell. Death. Heros do not run from danger, the run to it. In the poem, “The Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson it celebrates courage and boldness of the soldiers. The soldiers have to be very brave to do what they do.

“They fought together as brothers-in-arms. They died together and now they sleep side by side. To them we have a solemn obligation” (Admiral Chester A. Nimitz). World War 2 was probably one of the most horrific wars to happen on the face of planet Earth, many people were killed such as the Jews. Bravery and courage were demonstrated in this time of war and loose, men fought for their countries to strongly defend them from the outside forces that threatened to destroy them. The Allied Powers consisted of the United States, England, France, The Soviet Union, China, and Canada, whereas the Axis only had three countries on their side Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan. The world was faced with the possible outcomes, the Allies win and crush the Axis beneath their feet, or the opposite could possibly happen. History has been written and recorded in the books of modern day time, it’s out there for all of the world to know and see, to remember those who died in the war. What if history was to rewrite itself in all of the pages of those books that are scattered across the face of this planet? D-Day, June 6, 1944, on the beaches

Thanks for writing to me and my brothers some time back. I hope Chester is O.K. I just wanted you to know what’s happened to us since we joined the army. This is an awfully bloody war, and we have been in the thick of it. I have never seen so many dead and wounded soldiers. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. I had one of my legs hurt so bad they had to cut it off below my knee. I had a good doctor and my nurse is just wonderful. They are going to send me to a larger hospital in a couple of days that is further behind the lines. Freddie was with me during the battles and was stabbed in the back by a rebel soldier. I was able to save him by getting a medic on the battle field to get him to a field hospital. I think he will be O.K., but his right
