    Anthony Swafford Jarhead Quotes

    "Yes the motherfucker looks so deadly it makes me giggle and blush." (155) Weapons play an important role in war.

    Sniper And Cranes: A Literary Analysis

    “War is like love, it always finds a way” (Bertolt Brecht). Although one is pure and the other evil, the forces of both love and war influence the best stories. A more interesting topic emerges when a character must choose between loyalty to a loved one and devotion to government. In “The Sniper” and “Cranes” the main character is involved in a civil war that calls for allegiance to the government despite his feelings for a loved one who fights for the opposite cause. “The Sniper” and “Cranes” share similarities and differences in the plot, the characters, and the theme. Although, these stories are two similar pieces of literature and share many similarities, they both are unique from one another and consist of many differences.…

    Blue Collar Workers

    However, Rose later shows that blue-collar workers do not need a formal education to have knowledge. He gives multiple examples on how in many cases having hands-on knowledge about a job is more useful than a formal education. “A worker must also know the characteristics of the material one is engaging….” (Rose 101) Rose gives evidence from his study about how the blue collar workers have certain skills such as speech, mathematical, and literacy. He mentions how the skills are important to the workers for them to communicate with other workers and also to do their jobs efficiently. Rose uses these facts from his study to show that knowledge is not only obtained from the education, but also a person’s job. His study shows that he is credible with his statement that blue-collar workers are skilled even though they have not obtained any serious form of education. Lastly, Rose mentions how problem solving is one of the core element to knowledge. “Planning and problem solving have been studied since the earliest days of modern cognitive psychology and are considered core elements in Western definitions of intelligence.” (Rose 101) This can directly connect to the statement Rose made about how his mother and uncle had to solve problems on the spot during their jobs and also how they had to sequence their every move to work effectively. This is another evidence that can be used to defend Rose’s credibility, because it shows that even without the education or learning the blue-collar workers are capable to problem solve on the spot or sequence out their moves according to the…

    Stephen Crane's 'A Man Said To The Universe'

    Andrew Delbanco, writer for New Republic, suggested that “Crane’s likely attitude toward such questions: One sees what one prefers”. The experiences and lessons portrayed in Stephen Crane’s works are based on his own personal vision and sense of integrity. (“Stephen Crane”) Crane’s works very often rebuke traditional ideologies and inquires about things that religions aren’t necessarily concerned about. (Vanouse) He loves to analyze and interpret human actions when undergoing terrible and often faith-testing scenarios. (Vanouse) In the poem “A Man Said to The Universe”, Crane’s naturalistic views are put on display as he talks about man getting little acknowledgement by the universe. He is saying that man is very disconnected to their setting and pokes fun at the main character’s longing for recognition by the universe. (Awana) Even from a young age, Crane swayed from the conventional piety and was skeptical about “the lake of fire and other sideshows of Christianity”. (Vanouse) In one of Crane’s novels, Maggie, published…
