Frederic Henry's perspective and attitude about war changes drastically in this story by Hemingway. How and why does Henry's change happen? Write a reflective essay in which you explain Henry's change in thinking about war and connect this to a personal experience where you underwent a significant change of perspective, how and why this change happened, and how this benefited your life. The essay's thesis statement and body contents should refer to A Farewell to Arms and clearly state the connection. The conclusion should refer back to A Farewell to Arms too.

Answer:

   Since this question requires a comparison with a personal fact, I will do the analysis comparing Henry with Hemingway, so that you can take it as an example and you can do it with a particular event in your life.

Explanation:

It is not difficult to make the identification between Hemingway himself and Frederick Henry, due to the strongly autobiographical component of the work: both were of North American origin, they were ambulance drivers in the Italian army, they got the Medal of Plata al Valor, they suffered leg and knee injuries and were admitted to a hospital in Milan where they had a love affair with a nurse. The tragic outcome also unites them, although in a different way: faced with the outcome of Farewell to Arms, Hemingway was scorned and finally repudiated his nurse. There is another event that separates them slightly: during the war that wounded them Hemingway carried one of his wounded comrades on his shoulders, while in the case of Frederick he is the one transported.

  Hemingway bases this anti-war cry on the parallel development of the opposition between love and war. Frederick is a character with a heightened sense of justice and solid values, identifiable with those of the typical American hero, and of course with Hemingway himself. His motivations for participating in the war in an army, the Italian, which is not his, are not clear, but it seems that he is motivated by the need to collaborate in the creation of a better world. His exceptional situation draws the attention of Italian soldiers, who do not understand that a foreigner is coming to fight in a war that is not their own.

  Frederick starts from a conception of love that could be labeled as macho. Hemingway says of Frederick in the first days of meeting his future beloved Catherine Bartkley: "He was beginning to notice that difficulty, so masculine, of staying a long time with a woman in his arms." Frederick's primary intention is not to fall in love with her but to play with Catherine for a while, until he gets tired of her. However, after Frederick learns the hell of war, after being seriously wounded by a shell in one of Hemingway's most violent scenes, he seems predisposed to love. When he met Catherine again in the hospital, he fell in love with her: «When I saw her, I understood that he was in love with her. My whole being was transformed. The truth is that it is difficult to know if the transformation occurs after falling in love or if in fact he falls in love because he had previously already transformed on the battlefield when he knew death up close.

 Perhaps it is love that redeems Frederick. When the Italian army withdraws, his life is in danger on several occasions; All those around him are gradually disappearing, only he endures, he is only capable of overcoming all dangers, because the desire to meet Catherine is greater than anything that could happen to him and the need to have a life in common safely gives them the strength to flee from Italy. It is a conception of love with a strong Platonic component as well as Christian and even mystical.

Defeat contaminates the book in each of its pages, in each word. The characters in the book, not just Frederick, serve Hemingway to expose his own theory of wars. Pessimism is absolute: the war will not end even if one of the adversaries ceases to fight, because it is something that never ends, because ultimately, "war is not won with victory." And it is that defeat or victory are for Hemingway relative concepts: on a scale the pan would not tilt towards either side because they have the same weight. The fact of participating in a war implies being defeated from the beginning, it implies allowing oneself to be manipulated by those in power, it implies being forced to fight under threats of reprisals. Withdrawal is what is truly important, above victory or defeat.

Preparing a roasted chicken is very simple. The only ingredients you need for a perfect roasted chicken are the chicken, some salt, and an onion or a lemon to stuff in the chicken. Once you have your ingredients, all you need to do is rub salt on the outside of the chicken and let it sit at room temperature for one hour. Then, simply preheat the oven to 450 degrees. After the chicken has been salted for one hour, stuff it with the onion or lemon and put it in the oven. Roast it for 15 minutes per pound. Once the chicken is done, pull it out of the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Garnish it with some herbs and serve it to your family and friends. You see, serving a perfectly roasted chicken for you and your family to enjoy, is a matter of few easy steps.

I need the LITERAL meaning of this passage from 'Wuthering Heights' because I cannot understand the way English like this is phrased.

'Well, if I cannot keep Heathcliff for my friend—if Edgar will be mean and jealous, I'll try to break their hearts by breaking my own. That will be a prompt way of finishing all, when I am pushed to extremity! But it's a deed to be reserved for a forlorn hope; I'd not take Linton by surprise with it. To this point he has been discreet in dreading to provoke me; you must represent the peril of quitting that policy, and remind him of my passionate temper, verging, when kindled, on frenzy. I wish you could dismiss that apathy out of that countenance, and look rather more anxious about me.'

The stolidity with which I received these instructions was, no doubt, rather exasperating: for they were delivered in perfect sincerity; but I believed a person who could plan the turning of her fits of passion to account, beforehand, might, by exerting her will, manage to control herself tolerably, even while under their influence; and I did not wish to 'frighten' her husband, as she said, and multiply his annoyances for the purpose of serving her selfishness. Therefore I said nothing when I met the master coming towards the parlour; but I took the liberty of turning back to listen whether they would resume their quarrel together. He began to speak first.

'Remain where you are, Catherine,' he said; without any anger in his voice, but with much sorrowful despondency. 'I shall not stay. I am neither come to wrangle nor be reconciled; but I wish just to learn whether, after this evening's events, you intend to continue your intimacy with—'

'Oh, for mercy's sake,' interrupted the mistress, stamping her foot, 'for mercy's sake, let us hear no more of it now! Your cold blood cannot be worked into a fever: your veins are full of ice-water; but mine are boiling, and the sight of such chillness makes them dance.'

'To get rid of me, answer my question,' persevered Mr. Linton. 'You must answer it; and that violence does not alarm me. I have found that you can be as stoical as anyone, when you please. Will you give up Heathcliff hereafter, or will you give up me? It is impossible for you to be my friend and his at the same time; and I absolutely require to know which you choose.'

'I require to be let alone!' exclaimed Catherine, furiously. 'I demand it! Don't you see I can scarcely stand? Edgar, you—you leave me!'

She rang the bell till it broke with a twang; I entered leisurely. It was enough to try the temper of a saint, such senseless, wicked rages! There she lay dashing her head against the arm of the sofa, and grinding her teeth, so that you might fancy she would crash them to splinters! Mr. Linton stood looking at her in sudden compunction and fear. He told me to fetch some water. She had no breath for speaking. I brought a glass full; and as she would not drink, I sprinkled it on her face. In a few seconds she stretched herself out stiff, and turned up her eyes, while her cheeks, at once blanched and livid, assumed the aspect of death. Linton looked terrified.

'There is nothing in the world the matter,' I whispered. I did not want him to yield, though I could not help being afraid in my heart.

'She has blood on her lips!' he said, shuddering.

'Never mind!' I answered, tartly. And I told him how she had resolved, previous to his coming, on exhibiting a fit of frenzy. I incautiously gave the account aloud, and she heard me; for she started up—her hair flying over her shoulders, her eyes flashing, the muscles of her neck and arms standing out preternaturally. I made up my mind for broken bones, at least; but she only glared about her for an instant, and then rushed from the room. The master directed me to follow; I did, to her chamber-door: she hindered me from going further by securing it against me.

Sonnet 73
by William Shakespeare



That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In me thou seest the twilight of such day

As after sunset fadeth in the west,

Which by and by black night doth take away,

Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.

In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire

That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

As the death-bed whereon it must expire

Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,

To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

Civil Disobedience

Part 2:

Thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named Gandhi. Gandhi, was a leader in India who worked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.

Gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. As a result, Dr. Martin Luther King looked to Gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the South. The lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the South. King also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing African Americans. These forms of protest were directly modeled on Gandhi's, but King took them straight to the source of oppression. Where Gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, King's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. The passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. However, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. King remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. King learned from Gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. Gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a New England poet who loved the woods.
