The Making of a Navy Seal is a true story told by Brandon Webb. Webb tells the story of surviving his toughest challenges and how he trains to be the best. He has a very unusual childhood and is eventually thrown out of the boat his family lives on.

The story Fearless by Eric Blehm takes readers deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the story of one of its greatest operators, Adam Brown. Adam is a man who has a lot of rough patches in his life. Somehow he manages to power through until the end and even manages to get into the Navy SEALs.

Owen states that he has altered some names, and that since he is human some events may have played out differently. Lt. Owen also informs that he used help from his coworkers to make sure he retells the tale with utmost honesty. “All the men portrayed here are real, and the substance of their stories is faithful to the actual events depicted.” (Preface, xvi) It is with this precaution we are introduced to the first Chapter. Lt. Owen gives the readers information not only about his background, but also the background of his coworkers. He speaks of the pride a marine should have, and the bravery of Baker-One-Seven. “We were under way. There were tears, but Marines and Marine wives aren’t ashamed of tears when their hymn plays.” (Chap. 3, pg. 46) This memoir serves as a tribute to the Marines of Baker-One-Seven. The events and facts depicted in Owen’s memoir contains historical

In September 2009, I checked into my first command, eager to learn and ready to work. Unfortunately, my command was a shore command, meaning the command did not deploy people. Fortunately, my department arranged for my temporary attachment to a command that did deploy, a maritime security squadron whose mission was to protect US and Coalition warships as they transited in and out of port in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates. I was deployed from April to November of 2010, living in Dubai and working at Jebel Ali. During that seven months, This deployment was the steepest learning curve I had experienced in my life to that point. I learned about waterborne tactics, Iran’s Naval power, and extremist groups operating in the Arabian Gulf. This was especially relevant when an al-Qaeda aligned group, Abdullah Azzam Brigades, attacked an oil tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Our unit was responsible for making initial reports on the damaged tanker when it limped into port.

Special Forces soldiers work in foreign lands with situations which are not always completely clear from its beginning. The Special Operation Imperatives serve as the base for success by providing the framework to develop and assist the host nation in achieving their desired goals. Through this essay I will use the novel “The Ugly American” (William J. Lederer & Eugene Burdick) to provide context to the benefits of applying such imperatives and the consequences of improper application. I will bring to light the actions of the characters and depict the reasons why the application of the imperative made the character succeed or fail in his desired goal.

In the heat of war your choices and decisions decide how things play out. Will things play out in your favor or go into the favor of the enemy? Roughneck Nine-One is a book about the special operations of a military unit in Iraq. They were tasked with a lot of tough and crucial decisions. While reading the book Roughneck Nine-One I noticed that I could recognize those decisions made which led me to predict what would happen. I could also evaluate those choices and evaluate Frank as a character and what he meant to his team.

The book No Easy Day, by Mark Owen, is a 316 page collection of different experiences that Owen and his SEAL team have endured over the past couple of decades. More specifically, the books was written to provide readers with a firsthand account on the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden. Owen’s purpose was to open the eyes of the general public to the struggles that go into keeping America safe. He crafts his writing with detail and suspense that that make it hard to put the book down. One of the most interesting parts of the book was when Owen explained his training to first become a Navy Seal.

In this essay, I will discuss how Tim O’Brien’s works “The Things They Carried” and “If I Die in a Combat Zone” reveal the individual human stories that are lost in war. In “The Things They Carried” O’Brien reveals the war stories of Alpha Company and shows how human each soldier is. In “If I Die in a Combat Zone” O’Brien tells his story with clarity, little of the dreamlike quality of “Things They Carried” is in this earlier work, which uses more blunt language that doesn’t hold back. In “If I Die” O’Brien reveals his own personal journey through war and what he experienced. O’Brien’s works prove a point that men, humans fight wars, not ideas. Phil Klay’s novel “Redeployment” is another novel that attempts to humanize soldiers in war. “Redeployment” is an anthology series, each chapter attempts to let us in the head of a new character – set in Afghanistan or in the United States – that is struggling with the current troubles of war. With the help of Phil Klay’s novel I will show how O’Brien’s works illustrate and highlight each story that make a war.

The sequel to Just One Day by Gayle Forman is a novel telling Willem’s side of the one day that changed everything in a matter of hours- meaning that he ran away with a girl he met on a train, spent a day in Paris with her, and never once found out her real name. The next morning, he awakens in a hospital, not knowing who he is or what he did the day before. As his memory comes back from amnesia, everything comes flooding back- the girl, the memories, the idea of being free- But there is one thing he is forgetting- the name of the girl who captivated him, even though the day before, he named the girl Lulu after the actress Louise Brooks. After she is gone, he takes up Shakespeare and acting to mend the broken relationship between them and

One of the interface ideas Kay and Goldberg mention about the Daynabook that illustrates Manovich’s idea of automation is the drawing/painting feature. First of all, the drawing/painting program is made up of 0’s and 1’s and bits. The program has algorithms and codes that make up the shapes and paint brushes and etc. Now relating this to automation, if the user wants to manipulate a picture or create one of their own all they have to do is click certain icons like the shapes or paint and the computer does it for them. The user relies on the machine to create these images for them, instead of their skills. The user does not have to completely be involved. The article mentioned something about children using the Dynabook, children are less critically

I believe that the man in the story could turn himself into a more positive person if he was not as fatuous. In the beginning of the story, the man talks about how he applied at UPS and did not take the interview as serious as he should have. He then goes home and realizes that with that type of attitude, he was not able to receive a job offer.

In the book Legend there are a lot of problems with poverty. For example in the book Day’s family barely have any money to feed them then Eden gets the Plague and it costs even more money to get the antidote. The government does not like poor people in the sectors. Now the government is putting the plague in the meat so they buy the plague so the government gets the money and the poor people lose money. As you can see from this short paragraph the poor people suffer from not having enough money.

“This Morning, This Evening, So Soon” shows an interesting portrayal of race. The primary idea behind it is that it is not just black and white and I mean this quite literally. This story presents the idea that there are many different groups that are discriminated against. An idea that was previously explored in “Previous Condition”, when Peter’s Jewish friend Jules, attempts to sympathize with Peter’s anguish by explaining that he has also been discriminated against for being Jewish.

Turning to look at Kris and his wife, Fred started by saying, “We have a design team for our toys, games, and each of the other product lines we make.” “But,” he continued. “Working together they make sure that whatever we make, is the best of the best.”
