No man's land

The Cartographer of No Man’s Land by P. S Duffey is about three main things. One is war can cause big problems in families such as separation. Another is how badly war can hurt someone mentally. The book is also about how team working is key. I thought that this was a great book because of how Duffey conveyed the main ideas, he wrote the book in three perspectives that really well showed what was going on between the family members and what was going on in characters’ heads. Separation of family

Imperialism in Africa was a huge turning point in history, industrially, economically, and agriculturally. The European nations imperialised Africa for many reason. Africa had great land for farming at the South African coast and it had valuable resources to the Europeans. But what was the main driving force for Imperialism in Africa? The motivations of European Imperialism in Africa were to harvest the raw materials to fuel the Industrial Revolution. The Europeans also did it for their cultural

It was also nice to hear stories from his training days as well as his days spent overseas. Bruce Wright’s portrayal of “No Man’s Land” described not only the appearance but also the smell. I have only ever seen pictures of “No Man’s Land” and none came close to what he described it as. He stated that many of the men in his company fought in hopes that it would make life easier for the other African Americans at home. I connected

poem, such as, “Rocks, moss, stonecrop, iron, merds” (12), and the “Gull against the wind, in the windy straits” (70), which shows nature forcefully impeding the progress of the bird, just as its lack of cycle reinforces the stagnation of the old man’s mind, body, and spirit. The idea of looking to nature to find order, or at least escape from a chaotic world, is seen early in Eliot's career. In “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” ( [published 1915] 1420), the speaker, Prufrock, also finds himself

Trench Warfare World War 1 is perhaps best known for being a war fought in trenches, ditches dug out of the ground to give troops protection from enemy artillery and machine-gun fire. The trenches spread from the East to the West. By the end of 1914, trenches stretched all along the 475 miles front between the Swiss border and the Channel coast. The trench system on the Western Front consisted of front-line, support and reserve trenches. The three rows of trenches covered between 200 and 500

eurocentrism at the start of european imperialism. Their three tasks the europeans wished to accomplish were to spread christianity to the natives of their land they had landed on, to earn gold by exploiting the resources that were on the land, and to receive glory for their travels. These europeans would claim to ‘civilize’ the natives of these lands by forcing their way of life on them. They also used assimilation to convert these people to the european ways, like the residential schools that the Government

Hammurabi code was unjust because of its family laws. In law 168 if a man son arm has to be cut off why does get the son’s hand cut off when you guys don’t get along. When the father and son don’t have a great future the son’s arm get’s cut off. Unjust because it's not the kids fought that his father never spend time and if they didn't have a great past and i don't the hand to get cut off its should be the father because he didn’t spend time with his son. That i know it’s a law and if the son and

both negative and positive effects on the African people. Rudyard Kipling's poem “White Man’s Burden” gives you a first hand insight into imperialism. After reading both “White Man’s Burden” and different informational sites, it is clear that the Europeans brought more of a negative impact. Africans were content with their way of life before imperialism, when the Europeans invaded they not only took their land, they took advantage of them, and they brought new harmful diseases to Africa. Before the

two different pieces of literature speaking about the White Man’s Burden, the picture called “Decline with Thanks” by J.S Pughe and the poem by Crosby called “The Real White Man’s Burden”, they are both using satire to speak on a serious issue. Analyzing the picture “Decline with Thanks” by J.S Pughe, the viewer can see Uncle Sam getting a new outfit made/taking measurements which shows America expanding and claiming more and more land. The stripes on his have the name of state written on them, I

cared dearly for his land, and would stand up to anyone who tried to take it from him. “He nearly willed away my north pasture… he’d set his name on it”. (Miller 842). This shows that Giles Corey won’t let someone take his land from him without a fight. He stood up for himself and his family, by protecting his land. Giles Corey continues to prove his toughness when he is sentenced to press. They mean to press him to figure out who told Giles that Parris was stealing his neighbors land, all Giles has to
