World War 1 Dialectical Journal

     World War I was the result of leaders' aggression towards other countries which was supported by the rising nationalism of the European nations. Economic and imperial competition and fear of war prompted military alliances and an arms race, which further escalated the tension contributing to the outbreak of war. One cause of the World War was militarism, which is a policy in which military preparedness is of primary significance to a situation. Another cause of the World War was nationalism. Nationalism is the pride and devotion form one towards his/her country. It played a great part in the causes of World War 1 because citizens wanted to stand up for their country, and fight for them.

Days earlier, I remember when the German soldiers rounded us all up. They shouted and demanded us to follow them; once we turned the corner, I saw them. The cattle cars that would lead me to my death. A few minutes pass and and all 80 of us are piled into the cattle cars. Slowly the train moans as it gradually starts to move and the farther we go; the farther we travel away from the only place I called home. I decided to close my eyes and envision this wasn’t happening, but I was awoken from my daydream by an ear piercing howl. My eyes shoot open and I spot a lady screaming, “Fire! Fire!” (Wiesel 23). While her little boy sits there bawling his little eyes out. My father walked up to her trying to explain we’d be there very soon, and after

6 p.m. on a wednesday i hear the sound of the attack planes above my head as i try to sleep. Adolf has been bombing us conti for the past seven days. The soldiers in my squad are tired and we are barely holding on to any hope of making it out of this situation alive. We have been experiencing terrible sights seeing my best friend blown up in front of my eyes from the bombs above. I continue to try and keep my soldiers in a positive mindset and encourage them that although we are starving and terrified, because of the bombs that seem to never end and the constant sound of the tanks roaring across the ground.

You will not believe what's happened this month. Before I proceed with my usual banter, I would like to greet you and follow through with the formalities in our monthly letters. How are you and Pa? What are you up to during this time of despair? Anyways, on with my stories. This month I encountered one of my biggest personal achievements yet; I single handedly went into a German Aerodrome and was able to rid of three of their planes and fly back to our base intact. I know you and Pa always tell me that I should know that these are people that we are fighting against. But sometimes it is so hard to view these Germans as people. It's the pain and anguish that they cause us that fuels the hatred that's depicted in most slurs and the overall attitude

Ma’ma: I am so relieved that I received this letter from you. 5 years have gone by since the end of the war and knowing that you are safe brings great joy to my heart. The years that I worked for you were not entirely the greatest of my life. I suppose that you and the old master were good to me on feeding me and giving me a home but from the good times that I can remember being on the farm, there was also the bad times. Not so much for me to despise you but enough for me to tell you that I can not go back to work for you. It breaks my heart knowing that my old master was killed during the war along with your children as well. My heart goes out to you knowing that you are all alone with no one to help you around the farm but I am doing well

Although it appears fear derives from the unknown, it actually emerges from the known, because people are afraid of what they have to become in order to overcome their fears. Through the novel, the boys fear the unknown as shown through their inability to

Imagine not being able to speak what's on your mind while living in America, the land where freedom of speech is most valued. Through the years of 1914-1918, WW1, was a global war that first started in Europe. At the time, the US was going through the Progressive Era, already having their own problems they decided to stay out of it for 2 and a half years. It wasn't until 1917, where President Woodrow Wilson declared that the US would be involved in the war. Americans were outraged by the decision and later wrote, spoke, and published anti-war material. This was later put to a halt when the Sedition Act of 1917 prohibited the publishing of any type of anti-war comments, as they were found to be anti-American. Critics of the First World War were

Fear was an important aspect in all three books. In Left for Dead the men feared death in the sea by either drowning or being eaten by sharks. Fear in Nightfall came from the darkness. In Crystal Cave there was fear of defeat. After the U.S.S Indianapolis sunk, Cozell Smith became stricken with fear of death while the other crewmembers awaited rescue. In Nightfall, Kalgash Two spread darkness all across Kalgash, which filled Kalgash’s entire population with fear. In Crystal Cave, Ambrosius, Uther, and Merlin all feared defeat. Each character in the three novels dealt with fear, an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to

Fear. By definition it is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, or pain, whether the threat is real or imaginary. Fear has power, but only when the person feeling it gives it power.
