· “-Metal fragments tore into her back and shoulders, puncturing her lung, but she continued to care for her patients right up until she collapsed.” (quote about Rachael Pratt). The German commander Erich Ludendorff remembered in his memoirs as 'the black day of the German Army in the history of the war. This was the worst experience I had to go through'. This highlights the extreme emotion and distraught soldiers had to go

    “Strange to say, Behm was one of the first to fall. He got hit in the eye during the attack, and we left him lying for dead. We couldn’t bring him with us, because we had to come back helter-skelter. In the afternoon suddenly we hear him call, and saw him crawling about in No Man’s Land. He had only been knocked unconscious. Because he could not see, and was mad with pain, he failed to keep under cover, and so was shot down before anyone could fetch him” (Remarque). Soldiers were subject to watching this happen every day, the watch their friends die in the field knowing someday it will be them. The psychology of these people can become greatly disturbed this way, and might explain why so many soldiers had PTSD after returning. These were dark times in German, even when Germany lost the war none of the soldiers were sad. They were just glad they didn’t have to fight…

    Richard Allen was born February 14, 1760. During this time period more than one million people, representing a population increase of significant proportions, were living in the thirteen colonies along the Atlantic coast. disease, and infant mortality rates in the colonies were much lower than those in England, and life expectancy was considerably higher. Just under a quarter million blacks lived in the colonies, the slave numbers increased, along with the white population, through a combination of immigration, and natural increase. The colonies were part of an Atlantic trading network that linked them with England, Africa, and the West Indies. The pattern of commerce, called the Triangular Trade, involved the exchange of products from colonial farms, plantations, fisheries, and forests with England for manufactured goods and the West Indies for slaves, molasses, and sugar.#…

    The story I chose is “The Things They Carried” by the author Tim O’Brien. In the course of this essay I will highlight the physical and intangible “burdens” required by a soldier to overcome war which are of vital importance to inhibit the outcomes of a state of devastation. The story gives us insights about what each soldier carried to the combat zone and this was largely determined by necessities, but each man differed in their necessity. It gives a picture of the things a soldier needs to meet his basic needs during war. The basic necessities required in every situation or event lead to an enormous burden but the emotional consequences as an outcome of war lead to a greater burden and so did these emotional…

    In Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried” the raw realities of the cruel and unforgiving Vietnam War are authentically depicted. Just in the first five paragraphs sex, narcotics, and death, largely controversial topics in this country, are reasonably apparent. One character, Lieutenant Jimmy Cross, may be physically present but conveys every sign of distraction. He seems to be in a more copacetic quarter of his mind. In this quarter he finds elation and comfort when he thinks of the (so he thinks is) unrequited love he has for a fine young woman named Martha.…

    First, many soldiers came back from the war not fully together literally and figuratively because of shell shock. Millions of veterans arrived home missing limbs, blind, deaf, or mentally broken due to being shot at with guns, chemicals, and mortars, the death of their comrades, and other experiences in the trenches. Other veterans had much shorter lives because of the effects of poison gas like chlorine which burns you inside, mustard gas which burns any moist area on your body and collects in your lungs as a yellowish substance, and other gases that incapacitated you like phosgene, and injuries due to blast, with collapsed lungs. Others came home in one piece, appearing normal, but with such serious nervous/mental conditions that they could not work, and were confined to asylums for the rest of their lives. In addition, some were known to flashback to combat zones in their normal lives. An example is when a man dove to the ground for cover when a boy rattled a stick on the fence. The veteran had thought it to be machine gun fire.…

    First, the trauma of living in a war zone can add a significant amount of intangible weight into someone’s life. In “The Things They Carried,” we discover that Cross’s men “carried all the emotional baggage of men who might die (443).” Given that the majority of humans have experienced some form of trauma, we can understand how a number of men were driven to suicide and…

    The physical effects caused by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are lasting and a direct result from trauma endured by a person. They are just as harmful and destructive as the emotional ones. To begin, during the American Civil War, military physicians diagnosed many cases of functional disability resulting from fear of battle and the stresses of military life (Bentley). Many soldiers experienced a wide range of illnesses such as paralysis, tremors, and self-inflicting wounds. This took them out of the war and put them mentally in a disabled state. One of the most common illnesses of this time was the “soldier’s heart” or the “exhausted heart” or severe palpations of the heart (Bentley). PTSD grew rapidly as field commanders and surgeons urged the war department to build military hospitals for the psychologically insane. According to Richard A Gabriel, a consultant to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees and chronicler of PTSD, “They were put on trains with no supervision, the name of their hometown pinned to their tunics, others…
