    World War I was, and still remains, one of the most devastating wars this planet has ever seen. While it may not have caused the same destruction to the land as World War II, the effect it had on those unfortunate enough to serve in the war was as great, if not greater, than any other war this planet has seen. Erich Maria Remarque was unfortunate enough to be one of the many drafted into service for World War I. His experiences in the war were the main influences for All Quite on the Western Front. Erich Maria Reqmarque’s…

    Fra Eline, our comrades on the front lines have other problems than the enemy. It comes in the forms of dysentery, rats, and trench foot. Dysentery makes an average man unable to preform the most basic of tasks. This dysentery is caused by unclean drinking water and rotten meat. The rats are a common infestation in the trenches because they spread lice and are a nuisance to the men.…

    Whether it is disease, infection, shrapnel, or a snakebite, surviving was the first priority. The character’s language was used sometimes to ease the pain of a friend’s death. The men would use terms like greased, lit up, offed, or zapped as a coping mechanism to describe a fellow soldier’s death. I felt the story was well written and seems like fact rather than fiction. After detailing all the items carried, the uncertainty of missions and the war itself, I found this statement to be the best “there was at least the single abiding certainty that they would never be at a loss for things to…

    The characteristics of trench warfare are that it was a static war due to the impregnability of a side’s frontline once trenches were dug. Within these trenches, soldiers lived and often died in conditions that began as horrendous, but as the war progressed the trenches developed into a comfortable living space. Often the soldiers were not alone as they lived alongside large rats and lice. For the soldiers in the trenches, there was a constant smell that was sickening to those who had not been in the trenches before, but the veterans got used to it.…

    We don’t have any other pairs of clothes, so we sleep in the same pair of clothes every night. Since we have lice everywhere, we all have to cut our hair short so that it fits in our hats and we even have to scrape the lice off of our hair with the blunt edge of our knives. Our underclothes are always stuck to us from the sweat and the water inside of the trenches. Because our trenches are filled with water, there are a lot of us that have gotten trench foot. Trench foot is when your feet swell up to about two or three times the size of normal feet and they develop gangrene. I could stab my bayonet into my foot and not feel it. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, the swelling goes down, but you feel the worst pain you have felt in your life. Men are screaming and crying in pain as their legs and feet get amputated. I got lucky, but if I was stuck in that trench for one more day, I fear I would have been too…

    Entering Paw Paw I was filled with excitement as I saw the stage being set up and all the campers. Once we were directed to our parking spot, we both got out and gathered our camping supplies. Once we gathered our supplies, we decided to walk around looking for people we knew, as well as camping spots that were not already reserved. After tirelessly searching for friends that were not even there yet to figure out, we came upon what seemed like a perfect spot until we saw that it was reserved. After leaving this campsite, we retreated back to the woods area to sit and think of what to do. Shortly after his girlfriend contacted me saying that she and my ex were there. Hearing this we decided to walk all the way back to the entrance to meet them,…

    While all this stuff has happened I was one of the first to get drafted into the war and many of my friends died and when I say many I mean a ton. The war was harsh and I was one of the guys to get a long range rifle and so I was saved from most of the kills because I was always one trench back from my fellow soldiers. The conditions were rough in the trenches like the food was served in miniscule amount and the health conditions were terrible. Sometimes they would shoot gas grenades over and poisonous gas would come over into the trench but we all had small gas masks to wear in the case. These were the fighting conditions I faced for 4 years.…

    I was too inexperienced for the First War. I’m in the trenches between the borders of France and Germany. There were many soldiers lying dead on there. It was so wet, moist, and muddy that I saw many of them with necrosis and gangrene on their feet, due to keeping their foot on the trench’s filthy water. They said that this condition was so painful and agonizing that they were forced to amputate them to end the pain. Luckily, I wasn’t many of the soldiers with this infection. I hope you guys are okay, I might come back home alive til the war ends. Love you mom and…

    On Saturday, I have attended a Pow Wow that was happening at the California State University of Long Beach. I knew what kind of event it was because this was my second time attending one. At the first Pow Wow, I was able to take the opportunity to volunteer for them and helped them out with the resting area for the dancers and other miscellaneous tasks. I also had the chance to walk around and explore what was provided and stayed at the event until the end. It has been over two years since I had gone to the first Pow Wow so I was excited to see once again the beauty and the uniqueness of the Native Americans and their culture.…

    Pow! Right smack in my forehead crushing my skull. The metal baseball bat knocked in my skull. It was a warm sunny day in the middle of the summer. Joey, my brother, was hitting tennis balls over my house. Little 10 year old me was playing in the yard and my brother purposely pushed me far away so he wouldn’t hit me. Oh how I was a stupid little kid. I was intrigued by what he was doing so I started wandering over to like how not knowing little kids do. As I approached my brother he was so focused on himself that he did not see me. When I finally reached him he had just set up to hit another ball. He hits the ball, but on his back rotation, the bat makes contact with my head. I fell hard on the pavement. Before I went unconscious I heard my…

    A Soldiers Home Analysis

    World War I was the “war to end all wars”. It was the first global conflict and the first war to involve many modern technologies. In the conflict, the United States had over 300,000 casualties. The casualties were deaths or wounded. The wounds could have been something simple as a missing limb to as extreme as shell shocked. When soldiers were shell shocked they would often have no interest or a bad feeling about something they did while at war. In the short story, “A Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway, Krebs is a former college student and discharged soldier who is suffering from shell shock. Before the war, Krebs was going to college to become a minister. He enlisted in the Marines and was involved in some of the most bloody battles of…
