I have no face
I pray of course for Nicole Renard
I pray for Larry LaSalle.
Pray for your enemies for those who have done you harm.
I just prayed for the man I'm going to kill
It would always be Nicole
Followed by the most beautiful girl i had ever seen 7th grade
I tell myself i will not visit the wreck centre
I wanted to be like them these heroes fighting the Japs and Germans
Im on my way to the wreck centre of course doom ( joey leblanc ) knowing that poor Joey LeBlanc who died on Iwo beach in the south pacific had been right all along
You have your own silver star
You're a god dam hero
How many men did you save, Francis?
I think of Nicole and how his firt homecoming during the war changed our lives for ever.
I have to go I told her . The words sounded false
My betrayal
Its amazing that the heart makes no noise when it cracks
Poor Francis

The deaths of heroes
The gun is like a tumour on my thigh
That face is a symbol of how brave you were
I had always wanted to be a hero like Larry lasalle but had been fake all along
Im not a hereo

In my ignorant years of being a I always thought guns, tanks, and going war were cool, some macho aesthetic that most boys look up to--now I don't even know if any of us will even make it back.

    All Quiet On The Western Front

    At the commencing of the novel the soldiers were somewhat intrigued at the thought of going to war. Their teachers spoke to them of patriotism and war as a heroic deed in which the young boys should be eager to partake. The students were before war still naïve and had an innocent perception of war, but as the story continues we notice the transformation in the characters and their behavior. By entering actual fighting grounds and seeing the truth about what went on in battle the boys altered their view on war. Having seen so many casualties and deaths…

    Hero's Heart

    “Not the glittering weapon fights the fight, but rather the hero’s heart.” (Proverbs Quotes) I agree with Proverbs, that the hero’s heart fights the fight because I believe that a hero can be a hero without having to use a weapon. I believe that a hero is someone that is mentally strong and has the ability to lead, that it is showing dedication to a quest, and that is not giving up even when the world around you seems like it has given up on you.…

    n the essay entitled "Who killed Benny Paret?  the author, Norman Cousins, writes about the dangers that come with the sport of boxing. He especially talks about a match that resulted in the death of a boxer named Benny Paret. Cousins argues that boxing is just a show of violence and that boxers put themselves in the ring just for the simple purpose of entertaining a crowd. The crowds of people that attend these matches don't go to see the sport of boxing, but merely the brutality of a knock out.…

    Why Is There Amnesty To Fighting As Child Soldiers

    If you were back to being a kid again and you were told that the only way you could live was to kill other people, would you do it? This is a situation that some kids around the world surprisingly have to face in life, and they choose to do it. It is not a surprising answer, but some people don't know the entire context of some children's life, so this is why children should be given amnesty to fighting as child soldiers.

    Heroes for My Son

    Just finished two really interesting books. If you get the chance you should read. - heroes for my son- Brad Meltzer also -heroes for my daughter- Brad Meltzer. These two books are very touching, they describe some of people in history that young people should look up to and what they are known for. I have to say I think that my favorite is probably between two woman. One of which is Harriet Tubman, this was a dark skinned woman what she did happened during the Underground Railroad. She had escaped north to freedom knowing she had been a slave all her life she was finally free. She could not stand that she was a free woman while there were still woman and men and children south being abused and used. She knew it was dangerous, she could get caught and be in serious trouble if not death, but she stood up and took a chance. She ended up saving over three hundred people and gave them freedom. Harriet Tubman became known as "the Moses of her people." The next person is mother Teresa, I had started crying while learning about her. This woman was a nun. She dedicated her life to helping the poor people even though she herself was not wealthy. She went from having money to none at all for giving it to the worse off than herself which left her with nothing. That same day a benefactor came and gave her money and she then gave that to the poor also. " Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone. Person to person." - Mother…
