Unknown Soldier's Honor
“I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” These words may only be a song but these words have power. Men and Woman give there lives to protect the country, they give up everything to fight for this country, even though most of us are not grateful enough, They fight for the rights we have, each and every one of us, and they deserve our appreciation. I believe that the Unknown Soldier deserves just as much appreciation. The Wreath Ceremony would be an amazing honor to participate in and honor the Unknown Soldier and all this Soldier has given to protect us. This is truly an honor for whoever is chosen, I personally want to participate in the Wreath Ceremony because

    Dulce et decorum est and the soldier

    ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen and ‘The Soldier’ by Rupert Brooke are poems about war which treat their subjects differently. Both poems are examples of the authors’ perceptions of war; Owen’s being about its bitter reality and Brooke’s about the glory of dying for one’s country. The poets express their sentiments on the subject matter in terms of language, tone, rhyme, rhythm and structure. ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ has very effective language by using diverse methods such as alliteration, onomatopoeia and diction. The tone is unyielding and vivid imagery is used to reinforce it, primarily by means of compelling metaphors and enduring similes. The rhyme scheme is regular with very little change and helps establish the rhythm. The poem is divided into four stanzas, the first two of which set and develop the scene, while the third and fourth convey the abiding memory and offer a commentary on what has preceded. ‘The Soldier’ is a Petrarchan sonnet divided into two stanzas. The initial octave lays out Brooke’s thoughts and feelings regarding his subject, with the sestet offering a definitive final comment. The tone along with the rhyme is very regular, helping to convey the poet’s attitude. It has a continually lilting rhythm which reinforces the latter.…

    Red Badge of Courage

    The main character of this book is Henry Fleming, mostly referred to as The Youth or Youth. The Youth has dark, curly brown hair also; he is a young teenager and is average height when compared to the Tall Soldier. Henry is insecure because he is going through a difficult stage between being a "man" and being a "boy". Henry can't wait to get to war when he signs up but during the book Henry learns that war has a lot of affects on people emotionally and physically. Henry's flaw is that he is afraid of making himself look bad and he is worried that he is going to be a coward and run away from battle. Henry really wants to be a "man" and be courageous. I once heard a swim coach give an extremely good definition of courage. He said "To me courage is not to be unafraid but it is to be afraid but one does it anyways and doesn't worry about being afraid. I think Henry thought of courageous as fearless and that is also part of his flaw.…

    Red Badge of Courage

    To a naturalist writer, generally the controlling force of fate is the environment while life is usually the dull round of daily existence. In Stephan Crane’s “The Red Badge of Courage,” Henry fights the war right alongside nature. Crane places the reader squarely in the sphere of realism portraying life as it is. Naturalistic views in parts of the novel helped contribute to the overall theme of the Universe’s disregard for human life.…

    The Brave Tin Soldier

    Imagine your life as one being completely full of hardship; one event occurring after another, and you cannot catch a good break. The Brave Tin Soldier, by Hans Christian Andersen, represents just this. Throughout the entire story, a tin soldier is plagued with many difficulties and setbacks from the time he was created. This soldier can relate to a great amount of men, women, and children; specifically those born with disabilities. Although these disabilities may be very prominent, that does not mean one cannot overcome them and become great. The tin soldier, for example, was very poor, missing a leg, forced away from home, and even was swallowed by a fish. In contrast, he strived to return to the tiny little lady, for he loved her greatly.…
