Research Paper On Joker

One character is obviously the comic relief, another the beloved hero. The rest, valiant men fighting for their country, their lives, their freedom. The scene ends and the curtain rises, all of the pseudo soldiers take a bow and go home to their normal lives, far from the hands of death that grasp at the men forgotten in Vietnam, the real soldiers. They, who saw the hardships of war as more than just a script, beyond the glamorized versions that are seen by the American eyes. They saw the death and the tragedy, slowly becoming worn down into less of a human and more of a desensitized killing machine because that 's what war does. It permanently scars the soldiers, tearing away the feeling of loss and inappropriately replacing it with comedy, showing that war is destructive, stealing away an ounce of humanity with each bullet. As seen in The Things They Carried, written by Tim O 'Brien, the Vietnam War destroyed the minds of soldiers, causing them to lose their human emotions in an unglamorous setting, devaluing death as they lose their ability to appropriately handle situations.

If I had the opportunity to change places with a superhero or villain for a day, I would choose the Joker. I do not admire the Joker, nor does he have any desirable traits; however, I do believe in taking his place for a day, I could change the lives of many around him for the better.

In life, everyone has obligations. People have responsibilities they have to tend to everyday, but sometimes there are passions of love or revenge that makes one stop thinking of what their true responsibilities are. For soldiers fighting in war, their responsibility is to take care of their men and make sure no one gets hurt. They fight for their country and protect the men who have become their family. Lieutenant Jimmy Cross went against his honor to protect his men. He let his responsibly go, which caused one of the men in his group to die. Lieutenant Jimmy Cross confronts the demands of the love for Martha, which conflicts with his responsibility in the war, which affects him and the story.

As Bowker faked the conversation with his dad, he could not forget the Image of Kiowa’s death. “The stink, that’s what got to me. I couldn’t take the god-damn awful smell”(143). The anecdote shows the reader how the war still affects the soldier even after it is over. O’Brien also uses a symbol in the anecdote. Bowker circling the 7-mile lake twelve times symbolizes the never-ending image of tragedies in the war through the soldier’s heads even after the war is over. This symbol shows the readers the trauma that follows the soldiers even after the war is over. In the chapter titled “In the field”, O’Brien again demonstrates why his use of symbolism was the most affective in presenting the theme of guilt. O’Brien uses another symbol to show how all the soldiers felt guilty for Kiowa’s death including himself. O’Brien writes, “ In a funny way, it reminded him of the municipal golf course in his hometown in New Jersey. A lost ball, he thought […] a tough decision, but all you could ever lose was a ball. You did not lose a player […] Jimmy Cross never wanted the responsibility of leading these men.” (167). As O’Brien writes about the thoughts were going through Lieutenant Cross’s head, he compares losing Kiowa in the “shit fields” to losing a golf

Vietnamese people wanted freedom and communist Ho Chi Minh wanted freedom for Vietnam therefore people supported him. But they all know that Vietnam belong to the French. Ho fought with French his army was in the north and he tried to get US to help him but US didn’t because he was communist and were afraid that communism would spread throughout South

Throughout the chapter titled “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”, Rat Kiley tells the story of how a fellow medic, Mark Fossie, flies his teenage girlfriend into Chu Lai from Cleveland. As a welcome, pretty addition to the medics, Mary Anne charms the entire base and keeps moral

“Drummer boy, eh?” teased a soldier just a little bit older than the him. “You couldn’t even be trusted with a gun?” the boys laughed at the saddened look on the drummer’s face.

This connects to the chapter “Speaking of Courage,” when Norman Bowker spends the day driving around in his car, trying to find someone to listen to his war stories to help define his purpose. He goes to a diner and after he orders, he notices the insensitive cashier, “stared at him for a moment. Briefly, [Bowker] thought, a question lingered in her fuzzy eyes, but then she turned and punched the button for him and returned to her friends in the Firebird” (145). This moment also emphasizes how people outside of the war are uneager to spend their time listening to the stories of soldiers and veterans and only wish to carry on with their own lives. Additionally, in the chapter “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong,” when Mary Anne comes to visit her boyfriend in Vietnam, she goes through the same experiences that each soldier goes through when they serve in the war. First arriving as a sweet, innocent, proper lady, Mary Anne later, “crossed to the other side…She was wearing her culottes, her pink sweater, and a necklace of human tongues. She was

Tim O’Brien faced a lot of different traumatizing situations during his one year in the Vietnam War, he was in ambushes, and had sleepless nights from all of the gun fire heard everywhere, grenades exploding, and staying on alert at all times for the sake of his life. Tim O’Brien talks about an ambush that Mad Mark tells him and everybody in a squad that

Many assume that to get from one point to another, similar paths are typically taken. Both the Joker from the Dark Knight and the Islamic state bring chaos into the world with the intention to ultimately cleanse the world of its sinners and uncover what they believe the truth of humanity is. Yet the Joker, however, believes he unveils the truth while ISIS believes they exterminate the lies. Circumstances such as these are similar in its root while opposite in its execution.

When we talk about tricksters and heros, we think of people who lie and cheat their way through life. We also think about people who “save people” and is looked up to by everyone. Well, we aren’t entirely wrong. Let’s take the Joker for example. He is considered a trickster to some people because he likes to play games with Batman and the city and citizens of Gothem. He always says he’ll kill a bunch of people, but he never really does unless it’s absolutely necessary. The Joker goes around playing games and tricks, and that makes Batman mad. He plays with people’s minds and that’s the reason we call the Joker a trickster.

There is no character who is really like no other in the world of comic book villains, and that character is the Joker. Which would be hard for a person to actually find a character who is deep and this disturbed in the world of comic book villains? The mind that originated him, Jerry Robinson, must have been a very twisted person, undoubtedly. The Joker represents a theory about existence that part of me believes that all people wish we could embrace in our own way. He is an outrageous character, the stuff he does to other people is the lowest of the lows. The Joker is also a fascinating character, with an interesting world view, which is why he is my favorite villain. He has so many characteristics that make him even more interesting, like his history, his character, and how is he portrayed.

The Joker was part of an opus called “Early Morning” it contained the works: Morning Stroll, Homesickness, The Joker, Twilight, Little Horsemen, On Winter’s Eve, Burlesque, In A Fortress, Thieves and Policeman, and Waltz. It was first published in the 1920’s while Gretchaninov was in Paris, he was a pianist at the time, while still having enough time to compose

The Joker holds a strength of being persistent in the things he does. He makes sure that his plans will turn out as how he planned it to be. Even though there were complication in between, he makes sure he finds alternatives to get his job done. Take for an example, when the top mob members of the Gotham city were having a meeting discussing about the illegal money stash has been tracked down by the police officers. Joker shows up and proposed a plan to help the mobsters to find a better way to deal with their business in the future which includes in killing Batman and by taking half cut of the money as reward. Because Gambol thinks that the plan was ridiculous, they declined it and threatened to kill The Joker. This however did not stop him. He took the alternative in pretending to be killed by other gang members just so he could get closer to Gambol, to show that he has power to order people to do things for him
