How are you getting on? I hope that Dad's cold is better. Send my best wishes to everyone!
I am writing to you from the barracks of our regiment. My training is going well; I have many good friends here, and although the training I have been getting is necessary, I cannot wait to finish it, and get out to the Front, because the chances are that the war will be over within a few months, and I want to get a good chance to have my go at the Boche.
All kinds of rumours are spreading through the regiment about the things that the Boche are doing. They are supposed to have committed all sorts of atrocities in Belgium, such as butchering defenceless, innocent women and children, and also raping and pillaging.
I cannot understand why anyone would not want to take their place in
Kitchener's New Army; it makes me angry that cowards should be able to duck out of their responsibility to their country. The whole idea of conscientious objection seems absurd to me; it is just a front used to cover cowardice.
Conchies don't object to war, they are just scared that they might get hurt.
They should see this war for what it is: a chance to help and serve their country, and earn some glory, both for themselves, and for Britain.
The Boche needs to be taught a lesson; they cannot expect to just march around the globe, invading countries for no reason, other than selfishness. If we do not step in and act decisively soon, who knows where they will stop?

to publicly criticize the society in which he lived. In his two famous plays, The Women of Troy and Helen, he uses the Queen of Sparta, Helen, as a pawn piece to exemplify the horrible affects that war possesses. Euripides uses his two different Helen characters to describe to his audience that there are always two sides of “innocence” and “complicity” imbedded in war. Two years before Euripides’ second play, Women of Troy, Athens attacked an island off the coast of Greece called Melos. The small…
Running Head: Women Having Abortions Viewed to be Morally Unethical 1 Tiffany Harris Ethics- Professor Christina Post University Thesis Statement: Considering American ethics and values, death is morally wrong. Therefore, the killing of unborn fetuses is morally wrong as well. Abortions, this unethical practice of terminated unborn fetuses should be outlawed because it can harm women, violates civil rights, and takes innocent lives. Women Having…
second, more powerful bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, killing over 100,000 people. The United States decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was poorly made. The use of this barbarous weapon killed millions of innocent people and stopped the spread of communism. Despite the fact that dropping the bomb ended the war quicker, the Japanese were already defeated and it aggravated the Soviet Union and led to an nuclear arms race. When President Truman sent the order…
race in which whites are viewed as innocents and Native Americans are viewed as savages. Second, settler innocence through the lens of gender maximizes sympathy for settlers’ victims as females are predated upon by Natives. Both lenses support the mythology of settler victimization, facilitate the white conquest of the West, and justify settler violence against Native Americans. Settler colonialism requires the elimination of natives as a way in which innocent settlers can colonize and take control…
Should abortion be illegal? This is a very controversial subject in today's society. Women believe there are many reasons to abort such as fear of having or raising a child, rape, or not having enough money. But whatever the situation, there is never an acceptable reason to get an abortion. Here are some reasons why abortion should be illegal: Adoption is another option, many women are endangered by it, birth control is another option, and it can also cause miscarriages if you have 2 or more. The…
think about how different the women are today as compared to 400 years ago. Just take the movie, 10 Things I Hate About you, which is closely modeled after the Shakespeare play Taming of the Shrew, for example. The only difference is that the newer version has way more sex involved in the story. Thus, Shakespeare’s stereotypes are basically the same, besides the fact that our generation of ladies has become somewhat uncontrollably promiscuous. Fortunately for the women, not all innocence has been…
for ordinary people. The innocent suffer most in situations of extreme conflict. In times of conflict, ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Extreme conflicts can place ordinary people under unusual pressure provoking and exacerbating conflicts on a personal level, both between and within individuals. Innocent people are too often become caught up in, and suffer from the effects of, conflicts are not of their own making. Quotes “Fearful, hungry and exhausted, the women are herded like cattle…
Life? Innumerable women have had abortions in Canada, this diabolical action need to stop. Abounding women have reasons to nullify their unborn baby, such as money problems, a rape victim, and fear of raising a child. For whatever reason there is, I think that the termination of an unborn child is unlawful. I saw a video of a baby in a womb at only six weeks and six days old; I clearly saw the baby’s eyes, hands, and heard the heartbeat. Some women might say “It’s only a fetus in the…
for some people is an easy way out for having to raise a child, but in reality, abortion is taking the life of an innocent baby. Some people support abortion while others see the truth of abortion and are against it. The fetus is living when most abortions occur. Some people take abortion pills so that they will not conceive a baby. The procedure for an abortion is horrible! When women get an abortion, it causes them to have many problems. When an abortion procedure begins, the fetus is living. Killing…
these convictions happened in colonial Massachusetts; more specifically Salem. The only people who were being convicted were women; with an exception of one man. Some of the people who were convicted and killed were actual witches practicing the art of Witchcraft, but not all were witches. The Salem Witch Trials were totally blown out of proportion by convicting innocent women, sick and ridiculous punishments, and an unstable court system. In Salem, Massachusetts, during the late 1690’s, everyone…
