Refresh Davidoff Analysis

274 Words2 Pages

Refresh, Refresh is a graphic novel written by Danica Novgorodoff. It’s about three boys who are on the verge of reaching adulthood while trying to become soldiers like their fathers used to be. With stepping into their father’s footsteps, they believe they will get their approval and respect. I think the author has a couple main points. For example, how important it is to grow up with role models. Without them, it’s hard to discover the possibilities for the future when nobody is there to set a good example. I also think Novgorodoff is trying to show the war from a different view. Not only how it’s affecting the soldiers, but also the impact it has on the families and people in the community. The sacrifices people have to make to defend

    Comradeship: Saving Lives Appalling and gruesome, the First World War was harsh and relentless on its participants. Soldiers died in droves with no respite from the merciless pounding of the artillery and the sharp crack of Death’s whip that accompanied the bullets as they flew into the hearts of friend and foe. Yet, through the spitting machine guns and muddy, rat-ridden trenches, the men remained loyal to each other. Comradeship, a theme prevalent throughout the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, is shown through the quiet determination, recognition, and fellowship of the “Iron Youth.”

    These themes are exemplified by the experiences of the narrator in “Ten Kliks South” and Tina Beller in her e-mail to her parents. The major takeaway from these two pieces is that soldiers undergo tough situations that are unknown to the average human being. Just like everyday humans face the trials and tribulations of life, soldiers too come face to face with situations that can leave an emotional scar. Therefore, it is important for us to show appreciation for soldiers, for all that they do, and for all that they will continue to do for

  • Beach Burial Kenneth Slessor Analysis

    1345 Words  | 6 Pages

    This elegy is ultimately written for all soldiers of war and sends the ironic message that the soilders who have fought against each other and could have killed each other are now all floating on the same coastline receiving equal treatment and being buried with their enemy. The theme of anonymity is extensively portrayed throughout this piece as Slessor constantly refers to ‘unknown’ soldiers or ‘someone’. Slessor uses personification and dehumanization to depict the loss of identity within each of the soldiers and the obscured effects of war to show the continuous movement forward of the world despite losses and victories. Personification is shown in the second stanza, 'Between the sob and clubbing of the gunfire '; the use of this technique ironically emphasises that the guns seem to mourn the loss more than humanity does. This leaves the audience feeling distraught and pity for the soldiers as it gives them a sense of the emotions linked to war.
