The Queen Elizabeth And Elizabeth

During the early war period, there was a rush of Australian men enlisting to defend their mother country. The inherent sense of pride and patriotism that pervades Australian culture today was part of the driving force behind these men’s intentions. The First World War was propagated as an opportunity to seek adventure and see new exotic places, all the while defending their country. Peer pressure played a major role in inspiring these young men to enlist as they were told to “do their nation proud”. Conclusively, there were a variety of factors contributing to a young man’s urge to enlist but the hastened timeframe and imminent “call to adventure” caused the rush of people to enlist between 1914 to 1915.

The Great War, also known as World War I, is a defining moment in Europe’s history. Its aftermath consists of the demolition of Germany’s economy, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and the loss of an entire generation of young men who were sent into combat. All Quiet on the Western Front chronicles the experiences of Paul Baumer, a 19-year old student who volunteers for the military during World War I along with his classmates Muller and Kropp. They are compelled to enlist by Kantorek, their fiercely patriotic but misguided schoolmaster. Paul’s life in the military is told in short entries that reveal the reality of war: horrifying battles, violence, alienation, emotional indifference. His accounts of war are personal and emotional, and the bleak tone

In total, both novels act as powerful statements on the two world wars and the critical role that family and comradeship has between them. Without family, the soldiers and prisoners would struggle to stay alive, searching for a reason to

Britain’s declaration of war against Germany in 1914, on behalf of all the nations in the Commonwealth, created a desire amongst thousands of Australian men to defend the ‘mother country’. In association with this, there was a range of other motivations behind the enlistment of Australian men in 1914, for a variety of reasons such as high unemployment, social pressure, posters, and propaganda, whilst some also felt the desire of adventure. This essay will argue the idea that defending the ‘mother country’ was of critical significance in the enlistment of Australians in 1914, but that there were other aspects contributing which played their part.

“It has reinforced us with dullness, so that we do not go to pieces before the horror…it has lent us the indifference of wild creatures…” “Those are the dangerous moments…” These young innocent soldiers volunteered into fighting in World War I, because they were being led by nationalism, not knowing the dangers and the true reality of war. Not knowing the consequences that war carries on a human after the slaughter of thousands of lives. Unaware of the loss of their innocence, their youth.

The two characters symbolize the differing attitudes to the war, to personal ambition and even the way they run and how, the way they run, reflect how they live. Archie’s sacrifice is the apotheosis of ‘greater love’ when he takes Franks place in the line symbolizing an act of a hero. But like all heroes Frank and Archie must undergo shared trials, such as crossing the desert before they can attempt to enlist, as well as both, having to suffer the individual humiliation of being rejected into the army. ”A special kind of man went. Sure, they were adventurers, but a very simple kind. They weren’t swashbucklers, but they were a kind of warrior class” Isolating the characters from their positions in a way of dramatic irony and representing them ignorant of the causes and horrors of war, strengthens the sense of the lost generation’s innocence and the growth of a national understanding since the end of the imperial compliance.

Helen wrote letters back home to her family, she was only careful enough to not critique the war, but to praise it. “It’s such fun out here, and of course I’m loving every minutes of it; it’s so splendid to be really in it” (Smith 30). Smith have taken the time to describe the fun of the war in her own letter, but in reality it the opposite. She wrote the letters in that way because it’s what her parents wants to hear. “The only kind of letter home they expect, the only kind they will have” (Smith 30). However on the other end of the war, the home front, England is putting their best effort in trying to recruit as many men and women

In the late 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I of England endeavored to establish a permanent settlement in the New World. Elizabeth granted English aristocrat Sir Walter Ralegh the rights to introduce a settlement to spread the influence of the Queen and the Christian faith. In 1585, the first English settlers populated the new colony of Roanoke. By establishing Roanoke, the English hoped to launch trade with the Native Americans and mount piracy attacks on the ships of the enemy Spanish fleet. Queen Elizabeth sponsored “privateering” by motivating English sailors to raid and pillage Spanish ships, and having an English colony near the Spanish colonies would increase the effectiveness of privateering. Elizabeth hoped that once the English controlled the entire Eastern Seaboard of the new continent, the Spanish would hardly be a threat. However, the English were hasty in establishing their first settlement and this ultimately lead to the downfall of the colony. Roanoke failed to last for more than a few years and by 1590, the entire colony had disappeared. If the English focused on establishing a safe and durable settlement instead of developing a base for trade, privateering, and further expansion, the first colony of Roanoke could have been successful.

It is obvious that different circumstances would dictate that every person involved in the First World War would have different experiences. This concept is exemplified in the works of two different soldiers, Ernst Jünger, and Erich Remarque; both German, both coming into adult (they were 19 and 18 years of age, respectively, when they joined the war), both fighting on the Western Front. However, the stark contrast in their different opinions about the war may perhaps have been a reflection of their expectations going into the war. At the same time, their different accounts serve to give audiences an understanding of the whole of Europe 's feelings towards the war during the different time periods the authors had joined in the war effort.

She is the last Tudor monarch, and the only virgin queen in her bloodline. Elizabeth I of England was born on September 7, 1533 at Greenwich palace to Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. After her sister, Mary I, died on November 17, 1558, Elizabeth came back from her arrest to claim the throne. She is known for being a cunning and shrewd survivalist. Since birth, her life has been about surviving all the odds against her. As she fights her way to the top, the economy, the country’s culture, science and technology, government, and communication will change all around her.

The feeling of pride had slowly drained from my body and left a terrible sense of fear in it’s hollow shell; with the only way to retrieve that pride was to put parliament in their place and win the war.For three years now the revolution had been going on. In the prime of the war the soldiers were nothing but chirpy, and hopeful, but numerous defeats had foiled any sign of that hope we once had. My nine month enlistment in the army was almost up. I missed my family dearly and was very concerned about my aging mother, however I had decided to re-enlist because I wanted my family to live in a free country, even if I died trying, The army needed more men in good health and able to fight and death sounded much more preferable than living the rest

In the novel “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich M. Remarque, the author depicts the life of a young German soldier fighting in the World War 1. Throughout the novel, Paul Bäumer, the narrator of the story, is challenged to overcome the brutality of war and the numerous deaths of his comrades. The character development of Paul contributes to the theme of comradeship as his relationship with other soldiers, his family, and his past self changes. Paul is a twenty year old soldier at the beginning of the book, who enlisted into the army with his classmates.

Peter Weir uses Archie Hamilton's character to demonstrate how the experience and excitement of war sounded to the male youth previous to the first world war. This perfectly reflects the attitudes of the young Australian men during the early 1900s. In saying that Peter Weir uses Frankie Dunne’s character to show the views of a more mature point of view of the causes and results of a war, following on from this Billy, Barney and Snowy’s views are that anywhere but where they are could be better. These views reflect the ignorance of the

A major contrariety between the young men is the way in which they acquire their injuries. Charlie of Soldier's Heart attains his injury through vigorous battle, but Henry of Red Badge of Courage merely inures himself running from battle. Another embossed distinction is that Charlie fights in virtually every battle of the war, unlike his counterpart Henry, who fights in an inconsiderable number of barrages. One would think that two men who come from such similar backgrounds would have much in common, but as a matter of fact, it is just the opposite as one boy finds an easy route out and the other stays to

How would you feel to have a father, mother, sister or brother taken away because of the treachery war .Good morning Mrs Naidoo and fellow classmates, today I will be analysing Christopher Wallace-Crabbe’s Australian War poem Other people and how it highlights how it has impacted the reader in offering insights on the Australian context. This poem discuss the futility during the First World War and war in general. I find this poem ‘other people’ is interesting because it foreshadows the darker side to war.
