The Missing Time : The History Of Human History

The consequences of the war were extremely gloomy because it opposed to the progress of the nature, destroying human beings. In that harsh war, the living

Philip is never really clear on his facts. He never tells his parents the real reason he isn’t going out for track. He completely lied when he said no one really even like Ms. Narwin. Ms. Narwin was also never out to get him, yet that’s what he told several people. Most importantly though, he never made it clear weather he was singing or humming the National Anthem. If he would have just made it clear that he was humming in the first place, patriotism might not have been such assumed intention. On page 35, 46, and 50-54, you see these deceptions.

Nothing exists in nature, is born, grows or multiplies except by combat”(Document 1). This helps explain that militarism was an underlying cause of the war since it states that with war, you can be rewarded with success and prosperity. James Joll, a British historian, said, “We realize that without power, without a strong army and a strong navy, there can be no welfare for us”(Document 8). This is suggesting to the reader that, without a powerful defense such as a strong army and navy, there would be no

In this quote, Phillip has packed up his things with his mother's help and is moving from Curacao to Virginia to get away from the dangerous German submarines. This is significant because it shows that he is not responsible for the War, but is suffering its consequences anyways, making him innocent.

Throughout the story, Philip is discourteous and tells several lies. For example, Miss Narwin states, “I don’t know who that is, but you heard Dr. Doane request silence.” Philip then says, ‘’I’m just humming.’’ This demonstrates how Philip is disobedient to his teacher. Not only is that disrespectful to Miss Narwin, but also the country and Dr. Doane who had called for silence. He is given five chances to stop humming before he was sent to the principal's office. Philip mislead the reporter by stating that he was singing to be patriotic. Prior to these occurrences, he had received a poor grade from Miss Narwin which prevented him from running on the school track team. This motivated his unruly behavior. Philip is being deceptive as he was really humming to get on Miss Narwin’s nerves. Towards the ending of the play, he admitted to the fact that he had never known the wording to the national anthem, meaning that he couldn’t have been singing it in the first place. Philip is dishonest when he proclaimed that the sole reasoning behind his suspension was because of Miss Narwin. In reality, Miss Narwin was against his suspension and removal from her classes. Deceitfully, he claimed that no one respected Miss Narwin. He said that to put her in a negative light but really there were many people who admired her. A group of students even made a petition to get Philip to admit he is wrong. These are only a few examples of the many ways Philip was disrespectful and dishonest.

Almost 70 years has being passed since the last world war was declared its end. These days, it is said that if the third world war is occurred in the current world, it should be a total warfare with nuclear weapons (Gunn, 2004:70). In general the World War II (WWII) is often considered as a case of total war; now, there can be a question about the existence of total war in the world history.

"Phillip is there in the room and he goes to hurt my youngest daughter, so I jump at him and knock him down and put my hands around his throat. I’m choking him. I press and press harder, and then he dies, and I wake up."

At the beginning of the novel, Phillip responds with cowardness when he and his friend Henrik ran home after the man yelled at them on the bridge. The author wrote, “We suddenly became frightened and ran home to the Scharloo section where we lived.” (Taylor, 13) This shows that he was not yet brave enough to stand up to the man and stay. At the middle of the novel, Phillip responds with carelessness when he jumped up to see the cay and fell in the water. For instance, “I went under the water, yelling for him, then came up, gasping. I heard a splash and knew he was in the water too.” (Taylor, 52) This shows that he could not get back up into the raft by himself. At the end of the novel, Phillip responds with bravery when he said he was one day going to sail the seas and find the cay that he was once on. The text stated, “Someday, I’ll charter a schooner out of Panama and explore the Devil’s Mouth. I hope to find the lonely little island where Timothy is buried.” (Taylor, 137) This shows that Phillip is now brave enough to go out and explore on his

Journal #1. Page 32-“The era of human history when agriculture was the most important of all productive technologies and the foundation for most human societies.”

When Phillip is first introduced to the audience, he is an innocent eleven year old, who acts like a brat. He is rude to his mother, tells her he hates her, describes his best friend as “annoying”, and doesn’t appreciate anything. His neediness and stubbornness demonstrate his child-like personality. Phillip thinks that war is a game and an exciting time for him to see German ships. As he and his mother are fleeing to America, their ship is hit by a German torpedo.

In this paper, I will be outlining the costs and benefits of social and technological fixes, and then I will be assessing the use of social and technological fixes of air pollution through the use of automobiles.

Responsibility is a big deal in this book. Philip could have avoided the media and the nation if he took responsibility for his actions. Philip started humming the national anthem during morning announcements. Everyday they say “Please all rise and stand a respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem.” This has been routine for years.

Since, this is the so called reason for the two day suspension given to Philip from his efforts to be “patriotic.” Without consulting the school's principal, or assistant principal caused a new issue when the newspaper go and publish creating a semi false accusation. By ignoring plain facts Dr. Seymour lies reflected later when the news spreads all the

Francis Fukuyama; political scientist, economist, and author, in his article “The End of History?” discusses he rise and fall of major ideologies such as absolutism, fascism and communism, and suggests that human history should be viewed in terms of a battle of ideologies which has reached its end in the universalization of Western liberal democracy. Fukuyama concludes that the idea of Western liberal democracy has triumphed in the world through a variety of different ways and is a thriving piece of world order today. However, there are certain flaws to his argument including a US- centric view on the events of the twentieth century.

Not surprisingly it was proclaimed to be ‘ the war to end all wars’. In my essay I will be discussing and evaluating how the turning points of
