War Is Hell Our soldiers are taught to push their emotions down and never talk about them or the problems they have after war started to affect them and their families. It changes people to the point where they are never the same because of the things they have seen;"It struck me at the time, the thought of the women and children down there. We seemed to fly for hours over a sheet of fire - a terrific red glow with thin haze over it. I found myself making comments to the crew: "Oh God, those poor people." It was completely uncalled for. You can't justify it."(spartacus.school.co.uk)The truth is, war is hell for everyone who has been in one. Wounds heal but turn into scars that still hurt and are still noticeable. Even though soldiers face the devastating weapons being used upon them in war, the destruction soldier's cause with the weapons also stays with them after they use the weapons. "The air becomes acid with smoke of the guns in the fog. The fumes of the powder taste bitter on the tongue the roar of the gun lorry stagger, vibration rolls raging away from the rear, everything quakes." (Erich Maria, 52)These weapons that army's use aren't only destructive but are bad for the soldiers that use them. Shooting these weapons and killing people effect's soldiers tremendously. The mental state after soldiers realize what they did, when they go home, is to react to something that triggers a memory from when they served. War must be hell for them and eventually they need help. War is so traumatic that it stays with soldiers for the rest of their lives. "Then he realized that war was not what he thought and it was never going to leave him" this was said by the main character in the book All Quite On The Western Front. It is about German soldiers and what they go through. All these soldiers are never the same after their encounters in war because of the devastation in war. My uncle has done five tours over seas and he has severe PTSD. He says that he has flash backs after he sees something that reminds him of when he was fighting. He has to sleep for a long time and has anxiety attacks. The truth of war is.... war is hell for everyone. The things that soldiers see and experience effects them and their families. Whether a person has PTSD or they are handicapped, their lives are never the same. I believe in fighting for something you believe in but not for no reason. To go through what our soldier's do is just devastating and nothing prepares them for it. War Is Hell! |
Bad dog, good dog There was a point where I never worked the idea of failure was not in my mined when I started walking up to the restraint Krablooniks where I would be working for the next month dog sledding was the challenge I had chosen cause of my love for dogs I thought this was the perfect project for me then I went to work and started to learn how to dog sled and I was clearly out matched in this I was to for the mushers have to push run and constantly movie and the strength you need to accomplish the job its and I failed this in my mined I couldn’t do my best because of this its very demeaning that I cant do this its to hard there was to much I could over come. Making the idea that was I going to be ready to take on the hard work about to come cause I was 14 teen and ready to take on whatever was coming I thought to work as fast and as strong as I could there was no way I couldn’t fail at my job that I wasn’t thinking of am I strong enough to do this fiscally can I do this. After moving to Durango going to the internship animas high school was have I made the decision to have it at Durango dog ranch witch is a dog sledding tours I really wanted to give it all that I had cause I was stronger and I really want to make my time here matter cause I know I am better I have knowledge about what I am doing here and no matter the challenge. There’s something I always thought I was good at I was a hard worker and I was good at what I wanted to do I could over come and I know how to be a person I want to be and that’s what I am working to be cause no matter what In this I learned being prepared and knowing what you can handle it can help make things in your life and show what you are made of. |
Evidence: Mini correlation project
I wanted to focus on finding a correlation between motorcycles accidents and car crashes. I wanted to see if there were more motorcycle accidents cause I ride motorcycles so I wanted to know how dangerous it is riding on roads. If there were more cause cars need to look out for motorcycles. This project I wanted to do something that I was interested in. I could learn from not just for school also for myself so I found how many car crashes in all 50 states, how many motorcycles crashes in all 50 states. Finding the correlation between them I found that there was a correlation between them was that there were more motorcycles accidents. I learned through excel how to input equation that will produce correlation this gave me actual numbers to look at. I found that there is a strong correlation between them so ridding motorcycles is dangerous. Learning spreadsheet programing and experiencing reach that I am interested I hope to continue doing this and hopefully having it help me in the future. |
