The Warrior's Legacy

The Once Were Warriors is beautifully and powerfully casted film, directed by Lee Tamahor and casted by Temuera Morrison (Jake Heke), Rena Owen (Beth Heke) and Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell (Grace Heke). Jake is a man with high temper and his unpredictability in a number of issues is most fear-provoking thing concerning him. In many occasions, Jake play the character of the friendly, beer-swilling crowd as he plays his guitar and sing favorite songs to all, particularly in wee hours of the night with his drunken friends. But his true colors are revealed when a person crosses his line, he can pounce in blink of a second, with fury boiling over.

In this chapter, we learn some basic things about the main character, Melba, and we know that she is born on December 7th, 1941. Melba's birth was a complicated one, but she eventually made a full recovery and on top of all of that, Melba also had to go through the harsh reality of segregation when she was five years old.

The piece was very clear and easy to ready. I appreciated how you blended the answers together so that it provided a interesting piece instead of something that sounded like simply question and answer. Furthermore, your syntax was wonderful. The only comment would be that more details or justifications would have been highly beneficial.

Why after 50 years since the segregation of Central High School, do people of color still face challenges of racism? Long before the segregation of schools, people have faced many instances of discrimination because of the color of their skin. These same prejudice acts still continue today. This nation has yet created a workable plan for solving the gruesome acts of racism because of ineffective protesting, the influence societies have on individuals, and social media.

The definition of hardship became very clear to me when I decided to reach out to my neighboring military community at Ft. Riley, Kansas. I volunteered my time at the Warrior Transition Battalion. This unit is made up of the wounded, ill, and injured soldiers that are on active duty orders in the Army. My volunteer duties consisted of helping prepare and serve meals to the wounded warriors. I was more than a volunteer though, I became a friend, a familiar face, and a safe place. I find this beneficial and effective for the nursing career. A nurse is more than someone who draws up medication, who gives shots and IV's. A nurse is a caring friend who helps ill patients and families through tough times.

I have seen and known so many racists in my life. I am not friends with these people because being racist is horrible just like being sexist and homophobic. One of the biggest examples of racism is Nikky. Nikky used to ride though the bad side of town and see how many blacks and Mexicans she could make angry. I tried my best to distance myself from that type of person. I have also been in fights with racist black kids. I was called dirt by some black girl. She also hit me so I being in 3rd grade got very mad. I backed up really far .She smirked and must of thought “Haha I won”. Then I put my arms out and ran full speed and pushed into a wall.It turns out a broke her arm and thats why she never came around my house.While I geuss I over reacted to what happened.Keep in mind I was like 8 and didn’t know I could hurt her that bad.

Over 900,000 veterans live in Ohio alone and many of them are in need of help after returning from war. Wags 4 Warriors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation with a goal to provide veterans with service dogs to ease the strain of daily life. The largest struggle that many veterans face today is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which is an affliction caused by a terrifying event. Wags 4 Warriors is not only a service dog organisation but also a support system for the veterans and their families. We provide the dogs and training at no cost to the veterans themselves and many of the dogs are rescued

“Our Own Warrior Princes” written by Maureen Dowd, appeared in the New York Times on June 1, 2003. Dowd writes about her niece Jennifer donating organ to her uncle, Michael. She explains how her niece went through a complicated and risky surgery, and how strong and brave Jennifer has been to face them. She compares her braveness to undergo surgery like Xena the Warrior Princes. The author brings in awareness to Americans that there are thousands of people who need organ donors. This story was specifically for people who are scared and reluctant to donate organ for people who really needed them. Dowd tells us how people refuse to mention even though they have signed up their donor card or mention their identity as an organ donor.

The theme of “voiceless woman” throughout the book “the woman warrior” is of great importance. Maxine Kingston narrates several stories in which gives clear examples on how woman in her family are diminished and silenced by Chinese culture. The author not only provides a voice for herself but also for other women in her family and in her community that did not had the opportunity to speak out and tell their stories.

TO BILLY: No. The poem’s ideas-while unique and intriguingly written-are largely disparate, and do not combine at the end to provide a larger picture for the reader. It largely feels disjointed, and I would recommend for the author to flesh out the poem more before it is re-considered for submission.

The book The Warrior Ethos, by Steven Pressfield depicts the warrior’s mentality from ancient times to the present through a variety of different aspects and stories. In The Warrior Ethos, Pressfield states that men are not born with the certain qualities that make a good warrior, but instead are inculcated through years of training and indoctrination, stating at an early age. He goes on to show how different societies have been able to instill the same or very similar ideals throughout history while maintaining their own unique characteristics. Things have changed from ancient Sparta where parents would be enthusiastic about their children going to war, and even more elated

Heike Monogatari, with its multitude of battles and skirmishes, provides a wonderful chance to analyze the way of the warrior in ancient Japan. There aren't a great number of surviving works from this period that show in such great detail both the brute and the compassion of the Japanese warriors. They followed carefully a distinct set of principles which made up the well-rounded warrior. Loyalty to one's master, bravery and glory in any situation, strength, martial skills, compassion, and interest in the arts were all held with the highest esteem. Few warriors could become well known without possessing each of these skills. Religious beliefs shaped a warrior's behavior tremendously.

This is a different sort of Pressfield book. Unlike the historical fiction genre in which he’s written such best-sellers as “Gates of Fire,” “The Afghan Campaign, and “The Profession,” “The Warrior Ethos” is the culmination of years of discussions Pressfield’s been having with Marines and others who were taken with the blend of courage-under-fire and humanity shown by Leonidas, Dienekes, Matthais, Gent, and the other characters in his books. “I wanted to give something back to our men and women fighting overseas,” Pressfield told Gazette, so I put together the best anecdotes and stories from all my research about the Spartans, Alexander's Macedonians, the Romans, and Rommel.”

I summation, I think this piece is truly of note to art historians. Above, I have highlighted some reasons I think this is the case.

Here is the interpretation and analysis of the poem based on the sections that respect the grammar and meaning of its sentences:
