Historians can know Josephs experiences in battle and rough winter he had throughout serving for the army because of his writings in his diary.

In his poems “Martin and the Hand Grenade” and “Harry Wood”, Foulcher explores the ideas of the difference between adults and children in their interpretation of warfare. Foulcher also explains the ideas that man has a violet streak which can lead to destruction. In the second poem, the composer conveys the selfishness of living only to acquire wealth and how material possessions do not ultimately bring happiness and fulfillment. Foulcher uses his senses and a variety of techniques to convey his ideas and experiences.

Benjamin Martin, a veteran of the French and Indian War, raising his seven children on his farm in South Carolina. His eldest son, Gabriel, wants to fight in the Revolution War; Benjamin did not share the same interest. While in Charleston for the congress meeting, it is voted that South Carolina join the war against the British against Benjamin's advice. Gabriel enlists in the Continental army. The war wages on for two more years and Gabriel writes letters to his family. One night, gunfire is heard outside the family home.

Benjamin gives him care, and to the other wounded soldiers, both Continental and British, through the night

Benjamin Martin goes from being a chair maker in his barn to a Colonel in the militia. Most people knew him as the hero of Fort Wilderness. He was very anti war and wanted to make peace treaties and talk it out with the British. The last thing he wanted to do was go to war. His oldest son on the other hand had been wanting to join the army for the past couple years so when the war came to South Carolina he final disobeyed his dad and signed his name on the draft. His dad was mad but just went home and forgot about it. Then one day there was a fight out front of Benjamin's house. He went to help them and they were all laying around his house and the people we're helping the wounded. Then one of the generals came and killed them all and one of

King Martin XII.5 was a significant man with an extraordinarily elongated neck. He is the king of Martinsville. Martinsville is very grubby and musty. It is very dull and unappetizing to live in. The citizens live in appalling, congested homes that are dirt filling with thousands of rats living side by side with the humans. The citizens also are mistreated on a daily basis. Unfortunately, King Martin XII.5’s extraordinary neck turns him into a malevolent king who abuses his power and ruins his citizens’ lives. King Martin XII.5’s neck is 12 ½ feet long. Many people died daily from the abusing from King Martin XII.5´s neck by getting swept off the ground with King Martin XII.5’s neck so high that they fall to their death.

When a Grandmother's fight with her 11-year-old grandson got out of control, her husband stopped the battle in a deadly way.

To conclude, I believe that Davis has successfully managed to provide an accurate interpretation of the Martin Guerre’s story due to the logical reasoning and the evidences she relies on that ultimately present a fact to us rather than an enjoyment of the story that Vigne was only concerned and focused about with an altercation and misinterpretation of the actual story. Hence, it is universally acknowledge that due to the lack of legal transcripts and thorough historical manuscripts, one could not arrive to a the true story without providing several possible interpretation of the

Jonathan Edward’s Personal Narrative shows a drastic shift in religious, social relationships, from the church and sacred texts informing you about how you should act to be virtuous, to the ordinary person and traveling preacher having the religious authority that the church previously had. This shows in the lines, “I made a solemn dedication of myself to God,” and, “That my sins appear to me so great.”

There are two types of power. Power over and power to. Power OVER is having the ability to get someone to do something they wouldn’t normally do. Power TO is defined by collaborating in order to achieve a common goal. In the documentary, In Remembrance of Martin, examples of power over would be the the KKK, police present during the civil rights protests, and Dr. King.

I knew that it was the perfect day to go out and explore an incredible place.

If one man never steps forward to show all the others that change is possible, nothing will ever change. When you look back at history of the American civil rights movement, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are still often two of the first names even someone of today’s society may think of. They were, and still are, some of the most influential men to ever live. As young African-American men living during a time of harsh global, but most importantly, national racism and prejudice; teaching effective techniques to achieve peace and equality to others was extremely difficult for Dr. King and Malcolm X.

The significant message that really stood out from me is to get to know and cherish your family and show them love how much you love them and care for them. In the essay, Martin was talking to his friend who had lost both his parents. Martin then relates the words his friend: “ if I had anything to work out with my parents, I should do it now, because one day that opportunity would be over”(p.628). This stood out to me because it is a true statement and can be applied to everyone in our lives that we are close to. This is also the turning point of Martin's relationship with his father. If it wasn't for this conversation, the author wouldn't have had the opportunity to truly get to know his father before he died and would have regretted it.

Which reminded him, he was due to pay them a visit. They lived in the same city, and his mother had been constantly pestering him to pop around for dinner, and asking when he was going to find a nice girl, settle down and get married. The man had been in a few relationships, but they didn't last long - the sex was too rough - and his mom

In the film The Hunter, Martin is a professional mercenary who is hired by Red leaf, a powerful Bio-Tech company that aims to have Martin hunt the last organism from the species of Tasmanian tigers (Thylacinus cynocephalus). Through the film the qualities of both the tiger and martin start resembling each other.

He does this again when Bike the child snuck in Martins car, but is kicked out. He perhaps does this to be able to use his skills of killing and tracking humans to try to hunt the hidden tiger.
