Mary Anne Beth Point Of View

     Mary McLeod Bethune was an innovative leader because she took a story which was largely latent in the population, equal education rights for black children, and brought it to national prominence through the creation of the Bethune-Cookman college. She was also a visionary leader because of the incredible success she was able to attain in advancing the cause of equal education.

For countless of people today, the Vietnam war is just something from the past, but for Tim O’Brien, the Vietnam War will endlessly be with him. This one year in Vietnam changes the lives of this platoon from emotional pain, physical pain, as well as muscle pain will commence to cloud their vision. The weight of the things that they carried takes great effect on them that they have to continue to endure on this one year trip in Vietnam and remember these memories for the rest of their lives..

“When we first got here-all of us- we were real young and innocent… but we learned pretty damn quick” (O’Brien 93) . In the novel “The things we carried” by Tim O’Brien he shows that many young Americans lost their innocence as soon as their boots hit the ground in Vietnam. The Vietnam War took many things away from the men who walked throughout the jungles arms, legs, and innocents. One character named Mary Anne was changed dramatically with the war on how she saw things and acted in her daily life. Mary Anne changed immensely from how she came into the war and how she left.

Mary Anne is first presented as a “seventeen-year-old doll in her goddamn culottes, perky and fresh-faced”, which brings about an image of the innocence and an American Dream-esque teenage girl (92). By presenting her as such, O’Brien illustrates the naiveté of someone who is being introduced to war, yet has no experience. She shows up on the first day with no understanding and therefore no knowledge of the severity of war. However, within a page and a half, Mary Anne changes into a girl who could “clip an artery and pump up a plastic sprint…[and who] cut her hair short” (93-94). Like a soldier, Mary Anne did not complain nor shy away from the trauma; she embraced it and fully immersed herself in it. Though she was trying to prove that she was tough and could handle Vietnam, she slowly became more and more invested in the gore and horror of war. After disappearing for days at a time, abandoning her boyfriend, and associating herself with the mysterious “Greenies”, Mary Anne was finally seen “wearing her culottes, her pink sweater, and a necklace of human tongues” (110). Although she retained her classic all-American outer appearance, her personality became polar opposite. This is a reality that many soldiers experience, where they turn into shells of their former selves, left with the abyss that war created. While the character of

What would you do if you were a witness to child abuse today? Would you turn your head as if it were not your business, would you intervene immediately, or would you report the abuser to the authorities? It was approximately 1869 - 1870 when a woman named Charlotte Fiehling "cringed at the sound of the child's beating. She had heard it before, but had never laid eyes the child. The little girl was no more than five or six if she was a day, judging by her size, and her poor legs were striped with the welts of a whip, her body bruised from blows. Her hair matted and infested with vermin, no doubt, and she did not appear to have had a bath of any kind for many days, if not weeks" (qtd. In Shelman 187). This little girls name was Mary

In “The Things they Carried,” Tim O’Brien uses contrasts and contradictions to reveal the impact that war had on people throughout the novel. The war had a great impact on all the characters, however, it affected Tim O’Brien, Mitchell Sanders, and Mary Anne the greatest. O’Brien is affected by the war the most, especially in the fact that he was the one who wrote a book about it. He begins the novel by describing experiences of him and his comrades. He discusses a moment in which Mitchel Sanders had gone home after a time in the war, and was having a perfect life.

When O?Brien is shot and calls for Bobby Jorgenson to come to his aid, he realizes that Jorgenson is too afraid to help his fellow soldiers out. O?Brien writes that he then felt a deep hatred for Jorgenson and wants to get him back. On the brink of a maniacal outburst against the new medic, O?Brien writes, ?I?d come to this war a quiet, thoughtful sort of person?, but after seven months in the bush I realized that those high, civilized trappings had somehow been crushed under the weight of the simple daily realities. I?d turned mean inside? (200). Here, O?Brien conveys to the reader that Vietnam had taken over nearly his entire body and personality, causing him to transform into an unrelenting, savage being. O?Brien learned that wars can change people, as the Vietnam War changed him. When Mark Fossie realizes that Mary Anne, along with the six Green Berets, has gone off into the jungles the previous night, he learns that the Vietnam War is a merciless trap that can take anybody or anything and transform it into something unrecognizable. He learns that the war has the power to completely change even somebody like his sweet girlfriend, Mary Anne. This insight causes Fossie to feel sorrow. ?The grief took (Fossie) by the throat and squeezed and would not let go? (105).

Upon reaching 123 Roper Street, a man, John Smith (defendant) ran out, tackled her to the ground, jumped on top of her, and eventually pinned her down. Then the defendant, using a box cutter, stabbed the victim in the face, making a five-inch gash just below her left eye.

Based on her research and documentation, Mary Beth Norton provides a clear argument that men during this time period carried a strong dependence for women in order to prosper. At one point in the book, Mary Beth Norton brings up an economic crisis when women decided to boycott drinking tea. “Male leaders recognized that they needed women’s cooperation to ensure that Americans would comply with the request to forgo the use of tea and luxury goods until the act was repealed.” (157) This particular protest displays the importance of female consumerism. During this time period, though men often saw women as their inferior, women were an important asset in making clothing. “Furthermore, the manufactories afforded women the opportunity to learn demanding

Topic: War, change Theme: War changes the soldier's personalities and perceptions. Thesis: O'Brien reveals that no matter what the circumstances were the people who were exposed to the Vietnam War were greatly affected; O'Brien showed this through the changes in Mary Anne Bell.

It’s been only a few days since I’ve been at Vietnam. The weather here is about 90 degrees fahrenheit and I already meet a lot of soldiers that are as young as I am. Some of the personalities of these soldiers are great, but others aren’t. What I mean by this is many soldiers here have no faith and already believe that they’re going to die. I’m always trying to keep my hopes up and I really want to be a leader here that can make a difference. I really want to become the lieutenant of this group of soldiers because the lieutenant we have right now is terrible. I say this because he really doesn’t pay attention to the group of soldiers because he is always depressed. He is already responsible for the death of two
