good will and humanity between the enemies. A more formal Christmas truce had in fact already been suggested by Pope Benedict XV three weeks earlier, but the warring nations refused such an official act. This brief meeting of enemies as friends in no man's

uncomfortable journey and the soldiers ended up stiff and wet. Nights in the trenches were spent repairing damaged trenches with barbed wire, filling sandbags, and digging new trenches, instead of sleeping. Soldiers were also sent out into "No Man's Land"�, crawling about on their hand and knees, to find out information about the enemies military plans. It was too cold for the soldiers to sleep with no blankets and they could not even try to keep warm by exercising. Exercising would have the soldiers

whole. I want to emphasis on the importance of the chapter "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong". In this chapter we are introduced to the character Mary Anne. She shows the changing power of Vietnam, that a sweet innocent young girl can come into this land and be forever consumed by her surroundings. The speaker show us this through character action, character description, dialogue and metaphor; this enhances the literary work by showing us that the soldiers will always be a part of Vietnam no matter

Morning brought with it heavy rain, the nail-like droplets pelleted against the rim of my helmet and gathered in a puddle between my feet where I sat. The rippling pool brought a sense of peacefulness to the harsh conditions the trenches brought. The rain muffled the sounds of stray gunfire and stomach-curdling screams, it helped to take my mind off of what were to come over the course of the next few days. The things Ive seen will never be forgotten, visions of people I considered brothers being

live: a world in which the white man robs us of tradition and deprives us of the lands that have sheltered our generation, our fathers’ generations, and our ancestors’ generations. What harm have we done to deserve this? We merely desire to reside on our lands, vast expanses of beautifully rugged terrain, in peace. And why must this simple right ever come into question? Yet question it they do. Flouncing on our land, a group of white men have declared to us that everything we know is about to change

No Man’s Land is a heartbreaking anti-war movie which is played in the background of the Bosnian war. The movie is a fable; it was also the first writing by its writer Tanovic. It was co-produced by many companies belonging to different countries like Bosnia-Herzegovina, UK and others. Two injured soldiers, a Bosnian and other the Bosnian Serb, are entrapped with their lines in the attempt for survival. They face each other in the trench where they allow time to pass for darkness to prevail. They

believed to be, rather than a fact, is something that is highly important, especially when talking about fear of race. Both Spark Bird by Emily Raboteau, and No Man’s Land by Drew Lanham explore the topic of fear around race, but demonstrate this fear from two vastly different perspectives, exemplifying the fact that fear begets fear. In No Man's Land, Biss provides a view of the fear of color from the perspective of a white woman, observing the things people are doing and saying around her, and providing

Man's relationship to the land undergoes a transformation throughout John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. Initially, back in Oklahoma, each family feels a strong attachment to the land because the ancestors of these farmers fought and cleared the Indians out of the land, made it suitable for farming, and worked year after year in the fields so that each generation would be provided for. Passing down the land to successive generations, the farmers come to realize that the land is all that they

inferior civilizations; this is known as the white man’s burden. According to Prince Leopold, the heir to the throne of Belgium, “[L]et us see where there are unoccupied lands...to prove to the world that Belgians also are an imperial people capable of dominating and enlightening others.” He states that Belgium wants to imperialize in order to “dominate and enlighten others” with the others being the “uncivilized” cultural groups as stated in the white man’s burden. Even though it is not explicitly said

Members of the Leumi would murder for either the satisfaction of taking another man’s breath or the perception that someone was trying to interfere with the Leumi’s cause. The objective of the Leumi is to rid the world of all impurity, which they deem to be those who do not follow Allah. At the time that I was stationed in Baghdad, their leader, Muhadi, was rumored to be hiding in a compound in No Man’s Land. No Man's Land was the headquarters for
