    It’s not surprising as Canada is still under the British monarch. Last week, Colonel Sam Hughes briefed the volunteers (who had women) to hand out the Ross rifles to each division. The conditions here are horrible; it was raining almost every day since we came and the camp was very muddy. Our private quarters had around 10 people each with their own footlockers. Fortunately for me, I was already used to this environment from back there at home. 4 days ago, they began rifle and marching training to prepare us rookies for the upcoming war. We crawled and ran through the muddy terrain. We were taught how to hold, aim, and fire our guns. A lot of men were faced with frustration as our guns kept getting jammed every 7 shots or so. We all had to carry our own equipment: sacks, water bottles, helmets, and shovels; which were fairly heavy and we had to run through the difficult terrain with. Last night, there was transport ships docked at shore. I saw Colonel Hughes discussing with some British officers; at dawn, he declared our trip to another camp in Britain,…

    Holocaust Book Report

    When reading about history, one comes across a rather unfortunate number of mass killings. From the slow destruction of the Native American peoples, to the brief but devastating Holocaust, to modern terrorist attacks, history books tell of atrocity after atrocity. If one were to ask a random person on the street, he or she could probably provide a decent explanation of any of these events. After all, humanity has a fascination with violent and horrific acts, so if people remember anything from high school history class, it is likely a tragedy. However, there is one historic massacre that is seldom discussed: the African holocaust. The enslavement and deaths of more than eight million Congolese people seem to have been wiped from humanity’s…

    Death and devastation. Out of the nine million Jewish citizens living in Europe before World War II five to six million had died by war's end, which left less than forty four percent of the original Jewish population (Holocaust). It was a terrible event that rocked the world and made people think “what are humans capable of?”. Murder, manipulation, and greed are answers that pop up in people’s heads immediately, but one thing people often ignore when faced with this question is hope. It was hope that got the forty four percent through the horrific tragedy which was the Holocaust (Holocaust). To fake something that caused so many deaths would not only be incredably difficult to accomplish, but there would also be no point in doing so.…

    Painful deaths are one thing, but being eaten alive by loved ones has to be the top painful way to die. Chances of a pandemic of flesh eating people might be slim to none, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared for the super natural apocalypse that is, the zombie takeover. It might seem impossible, but if movies and video games can teach you anything, it’s there are at least three easy things to prepare for the disaster; finding food and shelter to hold you over, gathering weapons to defend against the flesh eaters, and no strong bonds with other people to hold you back. It’s not everything, but enough to make sure you don’t get gnawed on in your sleep.…

    All Quiet on the Western Front, written in 1929 by Erich Maria Remarque, is superficially the story of one soldiers’ journey in World War 1 and his eventual death. Beneath this, however, Remarque has composed a literary treasure which, above all, seeks to illustrate war as that which is engrained in the nucleus of humanity and through the hugely negative effects of war depicted, seeks to question humanities apparent advancement through its need to engage in such a futile exercise as war. Remarque’s Liberal Humanist ideology is given expression through the correlation between war and nature, thus emphasizing the innate position of war within man, the ultimate paradox contained within an advanced mankind engaging in primitive conflicts and the ironic search for an omniscient being derived from man’s reduction to the barest quest for survival. In addition through the examination of the negativities surrounding the social institutions and hierarchies set up in the absence of god, All Quiet on the Western Front becomes much more than an emotive and well constructed piece of historical realism. In All Quiet on the Western Front, the connections between war and the natural surroundings in which it is fought give rise to the position of war the collective psyche of mankind. The military jargon of the ‚the white puffs of smoke from the tracer bullets‛ is followed by the natural imagery of ‚the sun shining on them‛ in order to emphasize the apparent synchronization between war and nature. The colour imagery of white of the bullets and yellow of the sun, being light colours, connote the harmonious relationship between nature and war. Through the proximity of phrases describing both war and nature in an endearing fashion we are led to conclude that war and nature, or that which is primitive, are fundamentally linked. The gaian imagery ‚Earth, with your ridges and holes and hollows into which a man can throw himself , where a man can hide‛ is ironic as it takes a man-made…

    When a soldier enlists into the military forces they know they are going in to fight for their country and freedom for everyone. They spend months training and preparing for the war and what to come. They learn to fight, shoot, and kill enemies, but what they do not learn is how to cope with the after math of the war. Soldiers in war every year come home with many post traumatic effects from what they had witnessed. During world war two this was known as shell shock; however what can be concluded is that world war two impacted the soldiers emotionally and physiologically from the time they entered to post war.…
