The Importance Of Friendships In War

Richard, Busy Hands: Images of the Family in the Northern Civil War Effort (New York: Fordham University Press, 2003). This book can be best described as showing the influence female nurses had in the Civil War.

The familial atmosphere that the nurses provided gave the soldiers a boost in mental and physical health. The book really shows how the compassion of the nurses went a long way.

The need for friendship manifests itself throughout all civilizations of humanity, because humans are social creatures that learn and grow from interactions between each other. Throughout the beginning portion of the novel, Kirsten and August share a special friendship whether it be through looting abandoned houses together or sharing secrets (Mandel 39). For example, when the conductor tells Kirsten what the prophet had said to her and asks her to “keep it to herself,” Kirsten asks to share it with her friend August (64). Additionally, friendship provides companions to enjoy the highlights of life and commiserate through the valleys of life with. August also provides this latter component of friendship towards the end of the book when August and Kirsten are separated from the rest of the symphony.

This movie gives a personal perspective of life during the early 1900s, displaying the transition from pre war to the war and the horror of being at home or involved in the battle. Watching this movie provided a much different way of retaining information than learning about it in class or from a textbook. After watching this movie, I recognized that the movie both confirmed and refuted some of what we learned in class, that the style of a first-person narrative can have a major effect on my reception of the information, and that a film production of a written memoir can be

When it comes to wartimes at colleges, reflections from alumni often help one understand how real the changes that took place at universities actually were for those involved. In their book, “Hope at the crossroads: The War Years”, Nordstrom and Zuidema go into the depth of personal experiences to understand what it was like to live, work, worship, and study at Hope College during and immediately after World War II (WWII). When it came to life on campus, many things changed. Sororities became places for the girls to knit and sew for the Red Cross, programs were made to allow students to graduate a year quicker, and intercollegiate sports, including The Pull, were ended during these times in the 1942-1943 school year. Working on campus, at least

In the book, Warriors Don’t Cry, Melba Pattillo Beals brought significant events that are significantly influenced her and the other characters. There are two factors that I feel have significantly influenced Melba and other characters in the book, such as family and community support and racial politics. Family and community support have significantly influenced Melba because in her family, Melba got support from her Grandma India and Mother Lois.

One evidence to support the claim that the authors provide background knowledge is from "The diary of young girl" which states

Coming of age in a wartime environment adds many struggles and roadblocks on the path to growing up. As shown in Anne Frank’s Diary of a Young Girl, Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston’s Farewell to Manzanar, and Elie Wiesel's Night, the struggle of maturation and identifying yourself are constricted by the hardship of war. Not only the adolescents can change due to this kind of environment, they can also create personal experiences and relationship as one overcome the wartime environment. Anne wrote the diary faithfully and with a strong belief about her first-hand experiences in hiding and about her relationships with her family and those whom she shared her life in hiding with; and especially about her own personal development. Although her experience

Australian women in World War One (WWI) played a great role both behind the front lines as nurses and also on the home front, taking the place of many men who were at the war.
