The Importance of Honor Guard “At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past."-Maurice Masterlinck. Being a volunteer member of a military base honor guard, there are numerous reasons that require full effort and dedication.

Comparing Notions of Piety in The Wakefield Mystery Plays, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Le Morte D'Arthur The monastic lifestyle that Launcelot and his knights adopt after their conversion is one that Margery Kempe might approve of -- doing penance, singing mass, fasting, and remaining abstinent.

The man who turned the Soviet Union from a backward country into a world superpower at unimaginable human cost Stalin was born into a dysfunctional family in a poor village in Georgia. Permanently scarred from a childhood bout with smallpox and having a mildly deformed arm, Stalin always felt unfairly treated by life, and thus developed a strong

The poetry of the Imagists is short, simple, and quite literal in its meaning in order to create a vivid picture in the reader’s mind. When they describe an object, it means just what they say. A tree is a tree, a flower is a flower, and a bird is a bird. Imagists have little use for abstract words or ideas, and tend to shy away from them as much as possible.

Hi. My name is Chelsea and this is a short story from my life. Now, I am not really good at talking about my life because I feel like there really is not much to discuss. However, I am going to tell you about the hardest thing that I have had to overcome. It is upsetting and sometimes hard to talk about, but I have learned the most from this than I have anything else. It is something that constantly clouds my train of thought and sometimes leaves me at a loss. You see, it all happened six years

“To an Athlete Dying Young” begins with a very familiar image of victory, which is very easy for most readers to visualize because the image of victory has been seen by many people. Nearing the end of the poem, however, the poem’s image becomes less familiar or a bit ambiguous because it is unexpected. Housman believes dying young after achieving greatness or fame is the way to live, and the poem’s speaker attempts to convey the message of dying young to the runner ( ). The poem’s protagonist (the

Rifleman John Cranidge, fifth son of Mr. Peter Cranidge, of the Mason’s Arms Hotel, Crowle, was killed in action in March, ‘whilst doing his utmost to stop a big German attack.’ Wounded in the head by a piece of shrapnel, he passed away shortly afterwards.

The poem shifts to the present with the second stanza, which depicts the runner being carried once again “shoulder-high,” however, this time in a casket by pallbearers to his grave (Housman 2013, “Overview” 1). The townspeople come together again, but this time they are “Townsman of a stiller town” (Housman 2013).
