Lone Survivor Book Report

The book I read was Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer. The book was published on September 15, 2009 and published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. In addition, the book is 416 pages long, which includes quotes and praise from all kinds of publishers saying how great the book was. The genre of the book was a biography about the life of Patrick Daniel Tillman. The four themes I felt were the most important that went hand and hand with our class were politics in sports, Pat’s mysterious death, and heroism. Lastly, he was a true American hero who gave up his public figure to fight for a nation he loved.

Even though Webb has a rough start in his adulthood, he overcomes difficult obstacles and works hard for his goals.

This book talks about Brandon’s life as a young boy and his life becoming a SEAL and especially a SEAL sniper. His great attitude and perseverance has astonished me. When others were discouraging him and laughing at him when his goals were so big, he used these to fuel his fire to become a Navy

For my book review, I chose Platoon Leader by Col. James Mcdonough. James started his military career at West Point and after he commissioned, went through Airborne, Ranger and JOTC. The book tells the story of his combat tour in Vietnam. He describes most of the people he served with, and the engagements with the Viet Cong in vivid detail. The book serves as an educational experience for future Army Officers and leaders in general.

10. I believe that every marine should definitely read this book. This book tells about true commitment and courage is about there is a lot to learn from this book. I agree with all the points that the author gave in his writing and think that this book should remain in the commandant’s reading list.

The last engine of the plan goes out as the crew of the “superman” hurls towards the ground; “Prepare for impact” was a understatement. An american biographical war thriller book, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand describes Louis Zamperini life as he grows up from getting in trouble to becoming one of the most bravest and strongest people to date. In early childhood, Louis Zamperini grew up getting in trouble as much as possible, but as he grew older he became more of a man due to his new love for running.

Louis later got drafted into the army where he became part of the “superman” crew in the United States Air Forces.

Always pushing yourself to the max, just a little father. In the book Ready Player One perseverance could mean life or death. Wade Watts is a boy born into a world of poverty, with no mother or father, his only escape to the sucky real world is in the “OASIS” which is an online virtual reality. His journey begins when the programer (James Donovan Halliday) of the OASIS dies and a video is released saying he left a hidden easter egg and whoever solves the puzzles wins Hallidays big fortune and in-game powers. The thing that stuck out to me was that Wade, or Parzival as his online avatar is called, showed that perseverance was either going to make or break his chance in solving the puzzles. I chose to draw my picture in a way that resembles comic

It is no secret that it takes a special person to be admitted into the elite group of Navy SEALS. In order to do this Kyle had to pass serval stages of test. The first was the Navy’s form of basic training, which he completed very easily. The Navy training is called BUDS, and it is used as a screening method to find those who are weak and those who could be potential SEALS. After completing this difficult training program Kyle began his grueling SEAL training.

“Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor” (Thomas Jefferson). In the graphic novels Maus I: A Survivors Tale & Maus II: And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman, he uses animal imagery to portray the predator-prey relationship that the Nazi regime shared with the Jewish population. Based on the alienation of the Jewish “race” albeit “not human” and the superiority that the rest of the populations begin to feel, these depictions of races, countries, and ethnicities as animals is both appropriate and effective to illustrate the various groups during the Holocaust. This resembles the Nazi belief that certain populations have a conventional character and will retain their inborn predator or prey status by characterizing the Jewish as Mice and the Nazis as Cats.

The main difference between the impact of a significant IT project and building a new manufacturing plant, for example, is that management isn't demanding people change their behavior when they build a new plant. Sure, they may be dealing with new tools and manufacturing processes, but with a major new IT system, job descriptions, communications, authority, and compensation models may all change. In short, IT projects are more likely to "move the cheese" for people who have devoted ten or twenty years toward achieving what they thought had been a fixed goal. Unlike the 70's
