- ... wished that they were dead. Yet, they still thought that they understood what the war was about and what exactly was going on. The soldiers did see that, and more, everyday, everynight, never to not be faced with it. The phrase "war is kind" is mentioned several times throught out the poem, which is not what most people would use to describe the war. That is probably the reason that the certain phrase was used. By saying that war is kind, it made the reader think, really think, about why would Crane use that phrase about the war. The reader then would figure out that the war wasn't kind, and think of reasons why it wasn't kind. That wouldn't ...

By reading the two "novels," the reader is able to experience the three thousand years old society of Homer. The various similarities between our society and the societies depicted in the Iliad and the Odyssey are surprising profuse. To name a few: the superfluous violence in Iliad and Odyssey, the characterization of Odysseus, the obscure use of narcotics, the similarities between Catholicism and certain stories of the Odyssey, and the role of pets and animals. Despite the numerous similarities, there are some distinct differences. The specific ... I read the Odyssey, I could not help but notice the multiples uses of "wondrous magical herbs" and other types of narcotic substances.

The same philosophy of trust building that was used at this high adventure camp, to accomplish new goals and reach new heights, can be readily applied to everyday life and is just an exaggerated model of how human nature works. This idea of trust in human nature became very apparent and was demonstrated day in and day out ... common ground between these two diverse topics is the issue of trust, and under most circumstances along with trust comes loyalty.

- 766: The Art of Reasoning
- ... those who reject it be terrified into silence. This method has been much more successful than the method of tenacity historically.

Such soliloquies enable the audience to enter the mind of the character and understand what is happening. Usually the only character to use a soliloquy is one with a guilty conscience, for example Macbeth. In the play Macbeth , Macbeth speaks in soliloquy while he is carrying out or devising dirty deeds.
