Author Michael Howard in Men Against Fire makes the argument that the First World War occurred due to the realization that even with advancements in military technology, that pushing into wars using this new technology would not transpire into suicide, rather the adversaries were compelled to adopt different strategies to combat and implement the advancements.

When reading the text “The Scorch Trials” by James Dashner, I combined the use of many reading strategies, For example, I used background knowledge, making connections, inferring, predicting, and questioning. Firstly, based on my background knowledge it isn’t a good idea to trust someone who you just met. This is because you don’t know if their motives are pure or not. While I was thinking about this, I remembered Officer Toni telling us two years ago about how many kids got in trouble when they trusted someone they didn’t know. My connection led me back to the book and the author (James Dashner) describing how Thomas felt when Jorge entered, “Thomas felt a belt of tension cinch inside him” (page 145).

He portrays what life is like for those who have been let down by the system that was meant to protect them. Kozols writing style can be very blunt at times, not for shock value, but for the sake of portraying these children’s realities, and not sugarcoating the inequalities that they are faced with.

Clifford J. Rogers argues in By Fire and Sword, that the Hundred Years War (1337 – 1453) should not be considered a “tourney or game,” but rather amounted in non-comparable levels of destruction within France. Rogers explains that the testimonies of chroniclers, poets, and clergyman concerned with the levels of destruction inflicted during the Hundred Years War should be taken with a grain of salt.

Jonathan Rothschild Capital Punishment essay Inhumanity of Capital Punishment Capital punishment is not a humane way of making a suspect suffer as worse as the victim who got killed suffered that day. It might seem that the cost of keeping someone in jail might be more than the death penalty but according to deathpenalty.org, the cost of keeping someone in jail is only a fraction of the cost of the death penalty. In California, the state spends 184 million dollars a year on the death penalty and is on track to spend 1 billion dollars over the next 5 years.
