Wwii Yearbook Analysis

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

It made me feel sorry for the family when they had to give up everything they worked for and had, then having to leave their home and go to a relocation center. That must’ve been very hard and painful for them, to say goodbye to everything they knew. The older children went off into the military, and I wanted to wish them the best, hoping they’d come home safe. Same for Tets when he went into the Army, it made me feel sorry for them and wanted to help them with anything when Tet passed away while he was across

Going through an era when the Vietnam War was a smash hit in your town, many high school senior boys would be drafted out if their number was on the list of people. The men drafted had to leave behind their families and aspirations. Tim O’Brien uses different perspectives in The Things They Carried to show if something tragic happens in life, consequently dealing with it may be hard. Moving on will help in the future.

I have to admit that I had lost contact with my dear Jew friend, Aaron Bauer. It was unfortunate, but I sincerely believed that our decision was to lift each other’s burden and to protect this friendship. Integrating with one another had been a grave danger for both my wife and I, and Bauer understood our situations. I was no longer part of our secret Communist cell, for most of our Jewish members had dissolved into their separate ways following the aftermath of the Nuremberg Laws. Moreover, my wife and I had been busy with our full-time employment in the Volkswagen factory, for the KdF had promise us many trips and also the “People’s car.” There was time when I was excited about the KdF, but I immediately direct my thoughts to my Communists

The scenes in New York City of soldiers returning from World War II have been remembered for decades. The huge parades, the confetti flying through the streets, and couples embracing were reflective of the gratitude the country encompassed for soldiers returning from World War II (Crowe, Pervis et al.). The country as a whole was very appreciative of the services of these soldiers. Laif Maseng, a World War II veteran said that his return from World War II was not quite like the vibrant scenes in New York (Maseng) “For me, it was more of a ‘we’re glad you’re home safe, now go get a

I don’t know what i’m thinking. What I want to do is very dangerous and could get me killed. I’m a three month pregnant girl who wants to keep my child but jewish children are being round up by the nazis and sent to “children camps” to be trained and re-educated, I have no idea what to do so I tell my best friend, Lena, she tells me to tell Siegfried. The only thing about that is that i'm scared for his reaction, he is a nazi soldier who is by law not supposed to be fraternizing with me, however I promised myself that when he comes back from his delivery detail I will tell him. Siegfried then comes back and I tell him that I am pregnant, he tells me that everything will be ok and that we will take things day by day. I believe him when he tells

not a memoir--but an angry postwar statement about the effects of the war on the young

Many former soldiers of World War 1 pronounce the experience as hell on earth. The atmosphere was a constant smell of burning flesh, dead animals, and booming artillery. Animal and human waste mixed with acrid smell of the high explosive artillery shells. Many soldiers descried the smoke as getting closer to the smoke of death. The trenches were so uncomfortable and usually partially flooded with mud and water. The

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.

The movie “All Quiet on the Western Front” can provide us with a lot of insight about the soldiers experience in World War I. The movie and what we learned in class can help us out with this. In the movie there were a lot of kids and just by looking at their face you could tell what they were thinking. Some of them were very scared of what might happen to them, some of them were determined to come home well and alive, and some of them looked excited to be serving the Fatherland and doing their duty. Back in Germany they told the students over and over that it was their duty to fight in the war and that is what men do in Germany. They were told they were serving the Fatherland and bringing glory back to

World War II had a definite impact on the United States. It changed how people lived and how other people were viewed. Not many people realize the treatment of people from our own country during World War II. Three groups of people that were affected were women, African Americans, and Japanese Americans. The lives of these people were changed drastically, whether by having to work, mistreatment because of skin color, or by being blamed for something that was done by a country they were native to.

On March 25th, 2017, I interviewed Charlotte “Putse” McCarroll who was born on June 3rd, 1935 in Cyrus, Minnesota. I asked her about her life and experiences during WWII. She doesn’t recall much about the actual War. She was a 4-year-old child during the start of the War and was in grade school when the War ended. She didn’t have any family members that she remembers actually being in the War. Putse told me that while the war was occurring she just stayed at home or went to school. She kind of remembers gathering around with her family and just praying for it to end. She said that life was very different because everyone was scared and no one knew what was going to happen. She thought to herself that anything could

In their interviews they described their experiences in the war. Many called them heroes for what they did but they didn't see themselves as that. I think these people were brave and accomplished things we never imagined. I think it also might have been hard for them to try to remember what they had done because they were in a war. I think these men were able to do the things that they did because they were trained well and they were willing to risk their lives the save everyone else's. I think the war taught them how hard you really have to fight some people in order to live and to help save others.

During World War II, governments were tried and tested, armies were defeated, and technology leaped forward. However, the effects of World War II extended further onto the American children. Death of fathers, collection of scraps, purchasing of ration stamps, the effects of propaganda, and the technicalities of rationing are all factors that influenced the children of that war. These conditions at work consequently caused the generation of children from World War II to grow into conscious patriots and avid supporters of the war cause.

There are many pictures and lines we can use in the school yearbook. For example, we could do a macaw dressed as Batman. However we could not use a picture of Superman because it is trademark or copyright. If we did we could get sued and we would have to pay a lot of money and the school would be upset with us. For this reason we could not use a image of Superman for the school yearbook. However there are actually ways we could use this such as asking the company who owns it to get permission. We could also make are own creation to look somewhat like Superman. This are some ways we could do to include this picture of Superman in our school yearbook.
