Love And War And Love

George expected money. If he hadn’t had enough, he would ask for more until he was satisfied. Everything turned and went downhill because of his money crave. George came along and bad things happened.

War can be defined as “an active struggle between competing entities. It’s truly hard to tell who is right or wrong during a war. Both sides are fighting for what they believe in and what is true to their heart. In the end there is always two things promised – destruction and death. These two objects can explain the result in every facet of war from the physical to emotional.

“War is hell, but that’s not the half of it, because war is also mystery and terror and adventure and courage and discovery and holiness and pity and despair and longing and love. War is nasty; war is fun. War is thrilling; war is drudgery. War makes you a man; war makes you dead.” (80)

As you have read war is a very different type of world everything is turned around and it confuses people. The author of the book The Things They Carried and the writer of the quote "It has been said of war that it is a world where the past has a strong grip on the present, where machines seemed sometimes to have more will power than me, where nice boys (girls) were attracted to them, where bodies ruptured and burned and stand, where the evil thing trying to kill you could look disconnecting human and where except in your imagination it was impossible to be heroic." relates to each of his stories. Wrote about war so people could have a better understanding of

War can destroy and divide individuals. For instance, when Tim is asked by Mr. Heron to deliver a secret message, but his father doesn't want him to. The reason Tim was doing this is because he wanted to impress Sam, but father wouldn't let him because he could get lost or hurt. When Tim said,” … I didn't mean I have any opinion.” This shows that he doesn't know if he should go

George faced ultimate consequences in the end. At first Lennie killed a puppy because he it’s fur to hard and it died. Next he was stroking Curley's wife’s hair and wouldn’t let go, so it caused her neck to snap. Again George was in serious trouble due to Lennie’s trouble was to kill him, himself, rather than Curley. Curley would have made Lennie suffer so George killed his friend humanely. In the end George not only lost his friends, but his American dream.

     "From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war." Margot Asquith revealed her discontent with war in this quote. War is defined in the American Heritage Dictionary as a concerted effort or campaign to combat or put an end to something considered injurious. A rather contradicting definition from the dictionary when one examines war's true meaning and the effect it has on mankind. Wars do not put an end to something considered injurious, war starts them. War stems from human greed

George is the type of person to never hold grudges against anyone. In one episode, the girl that he was in love with, Meredith Grey, had hurt George's feelings. Despite how he was feeling towards her, he never talked bad about her or went behind her back. He proved to be a man with good character when Meredith's long lost father came to Seattle Grace. While Meredith was hiding from her father, George came across her father. Her father had asked how Meredith was doing and if she was in the hospital. Being the good person that he was he helped out Meredith by telling her father that she was no in the hospital and that she was a wonderful person and anyone would be lucky to have her in their life.

The young man, George Gearson, is unsure about enlisting, for he is more of an intellectual type than he is a soldier looking for a fight. George's fiancée is Editha, who in her innocent ignorance cannot see why George even has to question enlisting. Editha sees war as a chance for George to be a hero and thereby become worthy of her and her love. She threatens to break their engagement because of George's reluctance to serve his country. She writes George a letter telling him, "There is no greater honor above America with me. In this great hour there is no other honor" (365). These sentiments sound ridiculous, but it is actually an accurate depiction of the state of mind of many young Americans in this era. Going to war for America was believed to be their duty, and it was an honor to do their duty.

War is a horrible thing that comes out of hatred in people’s hearts and produces tragedy around it. War comes and goes but in its path are people who have to suffer through the hardships it brings. Two of the most notable aspects of war is that war is a fight for power and that produces loss of family.

I consider myself a lucky person because I never had the chance to live a real war events. I learned in school about wars involving my country, I read many books about wars, I watched many movies about wars, but I never have experienced the emotions of war. Anyway, there have been wars since the beginning of the world and continues to exist today. In my family there are few members who have experienced the horrors of war and even my parents told me about the negative effects of war seen through the eyes of children. I understood how bad war can bring both to a human life and in the life of a nation. But most of the time, I thought only the negative effects of war in terms of economic, social, loss of lives, and less on the

George may have killed his best friend, but it was done in love and devotion. George promised Lennie’s Aunt Clara that he would take care of him. In which, he did so, until Lennie was no longer capable to be taken care of and was out of control. George’s devotion is also shown in the fact that he would do anything to keep Lennie out of trouble. For example, when the incident that happened in Weed occurred, George did everything he could to get him and Lennie out of there and to safety. Another way George would keep Lennie out of trouble was by taking charge and talking for him so Lennie could not say anything that could potentially prevent them from getting something they want. A situation in which George takes charge is when him and Lennie have to go talk to the boss and George tells Lennie, “‘...Now, look-- I’ll give him the work tickets, but you ain’t gonna say a word. You jus’ stand there and don’t say nothing. If he finds out what a crazy bastard you are, we won’t get no job, but if he sees ya work before he hears ya talk, we’re set. Ya got that?’” (Steinbeck 6). This backfires when Curley asks Lennie, “‘ You they new guys the old man

War: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state. War is not just a fight between two organized groups, it is a living hell where people decide if they are going to live or die. The horrors of war are manifested with great detail and imagery in All Quiet on the Western Front, “The Hollow Men”, and In the Field.

‘War’ as defined by Webster’s Dictionary is a state of open and declared, hostile armed conflict between states or nations. Voltaire—the human personification of the Enlightenment period—says the following: “Famine, plague, and war are the three most famous ingredients of this wretched world…All animals are perpetually at war with each other…Air, earth and water are arenas of destruction. Defining war has been a political issue for centuries, and it poses a philosophical problem. Most philosophers will agree on war being a clash of arms, or a state of mutual tension between nations or states, distinguishing it from open rebellions, riots, and personal violence.

Furthermore,war is a state of conflict between different groups that potentially end with death. The action of fighting is used for many untold reasons, none of which are worth fighting for. However, if people could learn how to use their words more effectively, less fighting would take place. War is like a loop it never stops, it continues to go round and round
