Veterans Creative Writings Samples For Students

When World War I broke, earlier poets wrote poems celebrating the outbreak of the First World War. These poems reflected an over-optimistic, sentimental and unrealistic attitude to war that mirrored the attitude of the British people, who assumed that the war was chivalrous and heroic. Rupert Brooke's “The Soldier” is an example of such early World War I poetry, in which Brooke uses strong figurative language and symbols to romanticize and sentimentalize the horrors of war. By 1915, both the British people and poets began to realize how horrific and terrible the war really was, and poems thereafter ...

In his short story “The Things They Carried,” Tim O’Brien uses a narrative technique of slowly revealing more information about a death that strongly affected a major character. In the first few pages of the story, the death is not even confirmed. When the narrator states, “Until he was shot, Ted Lavender carried 6 or 7 ounces of premium dope, which for him was a necessity,” the reader does not know whether the victim survived or not. In a similar way, the narrator provides details of the physical objects that the soldiers carry, but slowly adds more and more objects, each time explicitly ...

Pioneer for Freedom and Women’s Rights

In 1820 or 1821, a baby named Araminta Ross was born to the parents of Harriet Ross and Benjamin Green. The family lived in Dorchester County, Maryland, an area which allowed slavery. At some point in her early years, young Araminta changed her name to the same as her mother’s, Harriet (Chism).

When Harriet was only five years old, neighbors rented her from her master to do household chores. Since she did perform her duties well, the neighbors regularly beat her for her inadequate housework. After many failed attempts at domestic work, Harriet was given a chance at the manlier ...

Courage is the strength and strong determination to fight all odds and stand up for what is right and needful. It is to face hardships, dangers, uncertainties and pain, fearlessly. Courage also involves crossing the threshold, i.e. to step out of one’s comfort and secured position and embark on a journey full of risks. I see Joan of Arc as one of the best examples of courage in this regard, who stood up for the rights of her country and people. Her humble and simple background, yet bold and firm determination to fulfill God’s will and command in spite ...

Photography is a form of art that shows the artist’s perspective in a snapshot. Photographers capture a moment in time in order to portray emotion and convey a particular message. Political photos serve as a detailed and informative example of this form of expression. Not only do they show us history in time, but they also preserve memories of the event, lest history cloud perceptions of how wars are waged. In the case of the Vietnam War, political photography was used by many pioneering photographers as a weapon, showing the horrors of the war on both foreign and domestic soil. Political photography proved to ...

Ladies and gentlemen, in the words of Martin Luther King, “True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.’’ In these wise words, Martin Luther appreciated the value of compassion; but he knew something more needed to be done. Settling veterans are an infallible sign of appreciation for the sacrifices that veterans make for the sake of the country. Today, San Diego is the sixth most populous domicile for homeless veterans. And, according to the State Department of Housing and Urban Development, the number of ...

There are many reasons that artists choose to create art, but one of the many reasons that they choose to do so is to encourage the persistence of cultural or personal memories. While not all artists paint, sculpt, or recreate memories from their pasts, many artists do use elements of memory and memories from their past to create works of art that memorialize and speak to the past. This may be a personal history, or it could be a cultural or global history-- many of the works of art created after the first World War, for instance, are concerned with the ...

The experiences of these Iraq war veterans in terms of the combat they did, injuries that tried to defeat them and their post-war experiences had a great impact towards the peace in Iraq. When Staff Sgt. Gregg Bumgardner was interviewed he stated that his experience in Iraq was one of the most important things that he did in his life. This can be true as he was part of one of the most crucial military operations in history. His experience shaped his behavior in many ways in terms of living his everyday life facing a life-threatening job. Meanwhile, Maj. P.K. Ewing ...

Dear Susan,

It is my sincere hope this letter finds you and our baby boy well. I am faring well since my last letter a month ago and I must say I miss seeing your lovely smile (at least when you’re not mad at me). I am writing from the Middle East, Gallipoli Peninsula.
Today marks exactly one year since I joined the war and I cannot help but remember the instance I decided to fight in the Great War. I remember seeing the Secretary of War, a mustachioed Lord Kitchener’s poster. His stern and cutting look in his ...

Humans are complex beings. Compared to different species, humans experience conditions well embedded in complex webs of memories, present states and future expectations. If humans have critical rites of passage including most notably birth, marriage and death (each loaded by emotions and ideations defined largely by cultural frameworks in which groups of similar communities interact), a human condition can, accordingly, be defined based on resultant interactions between such critical rites or, more broadly, based on given characteristics, key events and situations composing essentials of one or another human condition. The range of human conditions is, indeed, limitless and can ...

Cardiovascular disease remains a major life threating disease facing many American communities. The risk is higher in the underserved communities especially in the remote parts of the country which west (2014) attributes to insufficient health education. According to Ewy, managing director of the University of Arizona Sarver Heart center, there has been a decline in the number of cardiovascular diseases related deaths from 40% to the current 34% of the total deaths in the America. The improvement has been attributed to timely treatment of causal diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure among other heart diseases that continue to ...

Following the recent state of terrorism activities, the American government is at the limelight of public scrutiny on the methods they can employ to interrogate terrorist suspects. Previous observations on the way American military teams treat suspects brought controversies. Some people say that they are too lenient while others say that there is no need for torture in extraction of useful information from criminal suspects. Torture is defined as the infliction of physical pressure to a person in order that the person may reveal all relevant truths about a specified subject.
Most American specialized officers use psychology and some other ...
