Chau & Trong Thuy Story

While comparing the two classics, High Noon and “The Most Dangerous Game”, I found many similarities. High Noon takes place in a lawless, western town. The main character, Will Kane is faced with the difficult decision of whether to leave town or stay and risk death by Frank Miller, who was pardoned for murder. In “ The Most Dangerous Game”, the main character, Rainsford, a hunter who sympathizes with the hunted animals, is stuck on the stranded island called Ship-Trap. He is stuck there with General Zaroff, who owns the island and is trying to kill him as a part of the most dangerous game. Even though what is written above is different in each story, and High Noon and “The Most Dangerous Game” are very different stories, upon further

The ideas of food, culture and community are explore in chapters eight and nine, particularly through the ideas of family relationships and its strong links to traditional Vietnamese

The tailor finds another way to escape the controlling grip of Mao. On his customary tour of the villages before the New Year, the tailor decides to stay with Luo and the narrator while working in their village. The two are baffled upon the reasoning of why the tailor would want to stay in their house compared to a much nicer one. Before bed the tailor says, ¡§The pair of you are excellent storytellers, so my daughter says. Which is why I insisted on staying in your house.¡¨

There are many valuable lessons in this book. Even as a young child, Luong had to learn how to survive through this terrible situation. One lesson is that family is very important. Without her father, mother, sisters, and brothers, Luong wouldn’t have been able to survive. Without her brothers and father providing the family with food, the family wouldn’t have been able to survive. A second lesson is that sometimes a person or government’s actions can be different than their original intentions and ideas. The thought of having a classless society might seem good, but in reality, it is very impractical. A third theme is that even in bad situations, you have to have a good spirit. Even though her parents and two of her sisters were brutally murdered by the Khmer Rouge, she was still able to keep her spirit alive and

The Vietnam War was a war that seems to have thought the American Military and Government officials a lot about diplomatic negotiations, presidential leadership, and cultural/social contexts. Each American involved most likely has a different story to tell about the War from the ground soldiers all the way up to the President. Each American most likely has varied options about the lessons learned from the Vietnam War. I will discuss what I feel we Americans have learned. Including the good, the bad, and they ugly related to diplomatic

This is the end, i’m sorry I have to leave you. You have grown so much since the first time I had seen you. I will miss you. At that moment, I realized that I won’t get to see America grow even more than it already has... Ok, before I give away anything else, let’s go to this morning, before all of this happened. It was Friday, April 14, 1865, 7:08am when my wife Mary came into my bedroom and made me the usual breakfast in bed. She got me 1 egg and a cup of coffee. After I got out of bed I went to my office and worked for a while.

The first American troops arrived in Danang, South Vietnam on 8th March, 1965. The troops’ mission was to defend the American airfield from the Viet Cong insurgents. However, their mission gradually extended to defensive patrolling and later on taking the offensive. As such, the number of US troops swelled to 184,300 by the end of the year and by1969, the number of American soldiers had swelled to 543,000. Correspondingly, opposition against the mission, which was previously minimal, rose magnanimously. In April 1967, a crowd of over 100,00 people marched from Central Park to the United Nations Buildings to ask for the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam. By this time, over 8,000 American troops had been lost in the war. Following the protests, six Vietnam Veterans, among those who had returned home formed the organization Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). They wanted the government to “bring their brothers back home.”

We most of the time do not consider after war effects on human suffering, such as war veterans, wounded fighters and civilians, famine, disease, and in some cases epidemics. Countries like USA, which is the largest economy of the world, has more than 22 million War Veterans with expenditure of about $152 billion a year.2 Still there are many veterans out of service that are receiving supports from various types of organizations. Homeless and drug addicted veterans are still found living on streets in large cities. Many of these returned soldiers are suffering from various types of mental disorders, flashbacks, panic attacks, nightmares to name a few, which are commonly known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This type of psychiatric breakdown remains as one of the most disastrous and costly aftermath of wars when expressed in human terms. Wikipedia cited a study on the Costs of War from the Brown University researchers that projected that the cost of caring for veterans of the War on Terror would peak 30–40 years after the end of combat operations. The report further predicts that medical and disability costs would ultimately be between $600 billion and $1 trillion.3

Prisoners of War (POWs): In international law, term used to designate incarcerated members of the armed forces of an enemy, or noncombatants who render them direct service and who have been captured during wartime.1

In the middle 1960s, every male in America had to register for Selective Service Draft at age 18. He would then be eligible for the draft and could be inducted into the Army for a period of two years. If you were a college student, you could receive a deferment and would be able to finish college without the fear of being drafted. However, once finished with college, a students name would be put to the very top of the draft list and could be deployed at anytime. The anti-war movement was about young men being drafted and then sent into war that most Americans did not believe threatened the security of the US. The Vietnam War was America’s rebellious war, a war without popular support

This paper will be explaining the similarities, and differences, between the Vietnam War and the War in Afghanistan. There are many topics that bring these two wars together. However, I am only going to be talking about public support, policy objectives, military strategy, weapons, fighting spirit, links to home, and death totals. These topics have a lot of information about them, but there is too much to write about every little detail, so I will cover the broad overview of them. Each paragraph will be about one of the topics. There will also be a discussion about insurgencies and counter insurgency operations. These are two big topics in Vietnam and Afghanistan since almost all of the enemy in both wars were, and are, comprised of insurgents and different types of militia groups.

Scratches do not form easily on parquet floors. If there is found any scratch, you can easily wipe it out with vinyl. In fact these floors are very resistant to accidental scratches. Unlike other kinds of floors, a parquet floor will not be affected with the normal wear and tear that slowly damages the other kinds of floors. It is the presence of the hardwood which is responsible for the durable and resistive properties of the parquet floors. If a parquet floor is constructed from a good quality of hardwood, the floor can last at least for 50 years. There will be no need to perform any restorations or renovations for a long period of time in the case of parquet

In the 1950's, the United States had begun to send troops to Vietnam and during the following 25-year period, the ensuing war would create some of the strongest tensions in US history. Almost 3 million US men and women were sent thousands of miles to fight for what was a questionable cause. In total, it is estimated that over 2 million people on both sides were killed.
