To be engaged in war is to be engaged in an armed conflict. Death is an all too ordinary product of war. It is an unsolicited reward for many soldiers that are fighting for their country’s own fictitious freedom. For some of these men, the battlefield is a glimpse into hell, and for others, it is a means to heaven. Many people worry about what happens during war and what will become of their loved ones while they’re fighting, but few realize what happens to those soldiers once they come home. The short stories "Soldier's Home” by Ernest Hemingway and "Speaking of Courage” by Tim O'Brien explore the thematic after effects of war and how it impacts a young person's life. Young people who

Today the capital of the United States is one of the most popular destinations among tourists throughout the World. There are many interesting sightseeing places situated in Washington D.C. and one of those places is the White House that is official home and residence of the U.S. President.

However, not all the change created by the war was negative. In Regret to Inform many of the wives, although they still missed their significant other, managed to take something positive from their husband’s death. The wives that refused to be stuck in the negative, were able to take a moral from their unfortunate situation, and

A man by the name of Charles R. Morris once wrote a quote that stated, “A war fought in such a left-handed slapdash manner on both sides.” This war probably America’s most unknown war. Although the war has been written and talked a lot about, most Americans are only slightly aware of why we fought and who our enemy was.

The nineteenth century brought major change to The United States turning it from a developing country into a world power. The addition of Alaska, Oregon, Texas, and Florida, the Mexican Cession and The Louisiana Purchase made The United States a world power. The War of 1812 catalyzed this great expansion. There were four main concerns that led to The War of 1812. Maritime and trade issues, the Embargo Act, territorial expansion, and War Hawks. Although they were major concerns, one alone did not start up the war.

This chapter covers the transition of Mary Anne Bell, of how she changed from being a normal, sweet teenage girl to being one of the Green Berets, filled with enthusiasm for the war and intrigued with the culture of Vietnam. This message is about how the innocence of women is consumed by the war and how once they begin to learn more about it, they are hopelessly entranced by it, far from returning to their usual selves. Rat talks about how, “Anne made you think about those girls back home, how they'll never understand any of this, not in a billion years. Try and tell them about it, they’ll just stare at you with those big round candy eyes. They won't understand zip.”(O’Brien 108), and this shows that women won’t understand what Vietnam really is like, they have to experience it themselves. Women also won’t understand the grueling mental pain that soldiers experience in the war.

The War of 1812 is a war we often neglect in history. Some nations, like Canada, value it more than others such as Britain. The events leading up to it infuriated Americans, and they refused to be bullied by Britain again. These events included impressing captured American sailors, restrictions on trade, and British support of the Native Americans by supplying them with weapons, and as a result, war was declared on June 18, 1812 (Johnson, n.d.). Two years into the War of 1812, occasional and ambiguous battles had been fought; some were won, and some were lost. However, during these two years, the British were still engaging in the Napoleonic Wars, but when it ended in 1814, Britain was able to send in reinforcements. The battles became more systematic for the British as they gained more men. The British sailed to Baltimore, and then they invaded Maryland which caused a lot of chaos in Washington

O 'Brien illustrates to us the necessity for each man to be connected to their old life, telling a story of Mark Fossie flying in his girlfriend to ease his loneliness (104-05). Each soldier found himself facing insurmountable barriers throughout the war, and these small effects and coping mechanisms were often the only necessity that would give them reason to return home again. They needed personal methods of coping with the war, and this primeval survival was the only way to remain a man.

In times of war, hope is what people depend on to keep them alive. Hope is what drives people past their fears, disregarding the past and continuing to live for the future. Being ready for adjustments and change takes a portion of their mind too. Adjustments and change occurs to everyone daily. How you deal with it, can differentiate one person from another. Change usually happens during times of war. People can change, moments can change, in an instant even all can change. Anne Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank, had an experience that changed her life immediately. From a normal fourteen year old, living in her house, to a strong young woman, crammed in an attic, hiding. Anne proved that her new setting and situation had not changed her, thus

The wartime lives of the soldiers who fought in the war were in a state of mind of mixed feelings. Happiness and devastating are two adjectives that can describe the soldier’s feelings in the war because at one second they can be happy that they succeeded on a mission, but on the other hand, it can be very devastating because one of their own soldiers could have been killed during the war. Aside from physical danger losing one of your own soldiers or having your family worry about you every day and night are some negatives and unpleasant parts about fighting in a war. For example, soldiers loved ones worried each day, and hoped that they would not get a knock on their door by someone who was going to tell them that their fathers, husbands, sons, or brothers have died in the war.

This is an essay on the short story “Soldier’s Home” by Hemingway. Will the life of a soldier ever be the same after returning from war? Many generations of young adults have gone from their homes with tranquil settings to experience war and come home to a different world. Many have witnessed the devastations and atrocities that occur with war. Harold Krebs, a young man from a small town with a loving family is no different from those before him and those to follow. The anguish of what war is however cannot dispel the thoughts and memories of what many young men come home to face in the real world. Many have trouble coping in the new world known as home.

Marky’s coming home. The month’s accumulating to today feel as though it has been years. Although in reality it has been years since his departure, a swift return from Germany was not likely. I have been in two minds since the news of their disembarkation. A letter came in the postbox late May that their return would be expected sometime during the Summer. Ever since receiving that letter, all the women at the office haven’t stopped gossiping about what this entails for us. It is foreseen as to what is going to happen, it has been a burden upon us since we have started working. We will get kicked out of our positions, men will return to their occupations held before leaving for war and we would be thrown back into homes; cleaning, cooking and raising families. Although my partner is coming back, I do not want to go back. Since the day I was born, we
