In the song "My War" by Shinsei Kammattechan, the author uses the song to illustrate the story of protagonist Eren Yeager and his dream for freedom as a member of a race heavily discriminated against in his society. The author effectively uses figurative language such as symbolism to illustrate the devastations. Consequences of war while also encompassing the protagonist's emotions as the instigator of the war. The author was able to illustrate the inevitable need for war, and in other words, the author perfectly demonstrates what leads up to an inevitable war.The devastations of war bring forth the question of whether war is worth it if it only results in the deaths of thousands of people. The first verse of the song ("Fear, hatred, sorrow, …show more content…
The four words carry intense negative emotions as they constantly surround the war zone for as long as it goes on and can have lasting effects like permanent trauma. As the first verse ends and the chorus begins, the lines "Children cling to their coins, squeezing out their wisdom" (lines 12 and 14) are repeated. As part of the chorus, the line is repeated multiple times throughout the song but carries a different negative meaning to its words. The lines are a reference to the show, in which two children are seen scrambling to pick up their coins before being crushed but ultimately failing. The children knew, and against their better judgement, they scrambled to pick up their coins, knowing that in the end, the coins would have no worth. The line further adds to the death and destruction that surrounds the war, as innocent children are killed by someone carrying out a devastating movement. Furthermore, adding to the negative aspects of war, the line "Destruction and regeneration" was said as part of the …show more content…
He was a hero for orchestrating an inevitable war in his society but a villain for the war itself. War is seen to only result in death and many negative emotions, but what if that is what the world needs to grow?War should always be the last resort in response to a global movement, but the song perfectly demonstrates the inevitability of war for the world to grow and develop. The quote "You are the real enemy" is repeated as part of the post-chorus of the songs and also further exemplifies the inevitability of war. The pronoun used is "you" and is targeted towards the general audience as well as the people in the series as a means to show the inevitability of war because we, as humans, have human greed and, as a result, war is inevitable as long as we have it because we desire what we don’t have and will go to grave lengths to obtain it, and war is a solution to soothe their desires. As long as we have human greed, war and violence will always be present because of human nature, which craves what one does not have. Crying is a social function and an emotional response to emotions. However, the words "It’s okay to cry, just for now" (line 36) are symbolic of
It illustrates when troops are back from the war their are considering taking their lives because their feel like murders since; they took someone else’s life and all the killing that happens within the war. For example, when one of their comrade’s is killed they feel guilty, and it will lead them to feel like their should have done a better job protecting each other. As a result, what they experience during the war can cause trauma to the brain, trigger the memory system and every man’s life
This shows how war can be seen as a necessity in life and how it can be more as a vendetta to our human lives with no positive impact on
War carries important morals that heighten the perspective of men and women on their nation, but it also entails many acts and experiences that leave lasting effects on their emotional and physical state. Throughout the following texts, Paul Baumer, the dead soldiers, and Kiowa’s comrades all sustain losses that compel them to persevere and fight harder. All Quiet on the Western Front, Poetry of the Lost Generation, and an excerpt from In the Field all connect to the recurring theme, horrors of war, that soldiers face everyday on the front line through the continuous battle. War involves gruesome battles, many of which lead to death, but these events forever affect the soldier’s mind and body. In All Quiet on the Western Front, men experience horrific sights, or horrors of war, through the depiction of the terrain, death, and the
The Damages of War “Mourning the dead wasn’t part of the business of killing and trying to stay alive.” (149) The mind of a child is a scary place, full of dangerous thoughts. There is no hope, and, in their minds, no need to hope. They get used to the environment, to the killing.
By not knowing the entire song, you truly miss the full messages that the creator desired. Perhaps making the 3 other verses practically unknown to most, whoever shortened it might have done so to capture only positive emotions. At least one of the verses does seem to have a sort of darker side. Regardless, it is our Anthem and the basic sentiment remains.
The source which was chosen was the song ‘War’ by Bob Marley. This song is, in essence, a song about equality. Bob Marley, a conscious Reggae singer, often writes songs centered on African Heritage and slavery. These themes which his songs are usually based on are taken from the Rastafarian religion which carries a strong pride in blackness and ties to Africa. The song “War”, however, speaks about racial superiority among all races.
The message of the song has a close similarity to the character Porscha. Both of them have experienced an adverse childhood with no parents next to teach, to support them. Seeing people with parents, jealous makes their hearts impacted greatly, and gradually, formed hatred toward their parents. Life goes on, after how society treats them, Kevin and Porscha know their parent at some point were in the same situation as them. They’ve learned to empathize with and forgive their parent.
To me, this quote from the lyrics means to me that even when it feels like you are alone in the world you are not and there will always be someone to help and rescue you. As someone who has struggled with my mental health, this quote could help many people understand that they never are truly alone and there will always be someone there for them, even when it feels like the whole world is against them. To the general audience, the quote
It truly underlines the idea of an ongoing war cycle cannot be fully resolved or ended until there are no more people left to fight. As dicussed in a previous tutorial connecting the Russian and Ukrianian war that has been ongoing the past few months, the episode also depicts the repercussions of war and the influence it may have not just on those actively involved, but also on innocent bystanders. The quotation is relevant to both this episode and tutorial because conflict results in chaos and loss of life that feels never-ending, it is connected to the fact that conflict has been constant throughout human history, and it is impossible to imagine an end. The wars have resulted in innumerable fatalities, infrastructure devastion and displacement of populations. As it serves as a reminder that conflict has a long-term influence on communitioes and that the innocent suffer the most.
Different forms of literature are used to tackle the ramifications of war on humanity. In the poem “Channel Firing,” Thomas Hardy emphasizes the disturbance war causes among different forms of life and its impact on the general world to highlight how war creates an endless cycle of bloodshed that has no positive value. The effects of war on the life around it serves to display
War is an unnecessary evil. Throughout humanity, many lives have been lost during times of bloodshed. Whether these times of bloodshed can be argued or not; one common theme can be connected to all wars. One must sacrifice his life for his honor. In “A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim,” Walt Whitman uses imagery, persona, and allusion to protest against a world of war.
There are two inevitable aspects of life: war and death. Kurt Vonnegut addresses this idea in his novel “Slaughterhouse-Five” in an effort to reconcile with the war in Dresden. Not only does he want to reconcile with it, but he, also, wants to teach everyone that warfare and death is an element of life. In “Slaughterhouse-Five,” Vonnegut uses imagery, repetition, and satire to develop the theme of war and death. Kurt Vonnegut demonstrates the literary device, imagery, to combat the theme of war and death.
Appealing to the fear of death and war is an effective rhetorical device to persuade an audience. The beginning scene of World War I when “No Man’s Land” is depicted uses this device. On the stage’s surface, the Axis and Allies’ tanks are firing while the scene presents the soldiers in a dark trench as debris falls on them. The soldiers are on the front lines and death is prevalent and unexpected. This appeals to the viewer in that they can picture themselves or a close family member in a similar situation.
These two texts convey how horrific war truly is. My two pro-war texts are Who’s for the Game by Jesse Pope and Iraq and Roll by Clint Black. These texts romanticize the idea that war is a great and noble endeavor. I hope that by the end of this essay, the reader will be able to assess which side of the argument is the stronger one, pro-war or anti-war.
One of the first, and best metaphors he used was comparing war to a movie: “This is the same movie/Playing all over/The world/Starring everybody/ Who ends up where the action/Is” (7-11). This has the effect of making war seem less dramatic, or awful, which lends into the theme in the way that movies are always playing, whether it be a holiday or something
