...Abigail Professor English 1110 1 March 2015 2015 Star Spangled Banner Songfest Have you or a loved one served our county and are in need of help? The University of Toledo welcomes you to join the “Star Spangled Banner” songfest event held on March 28th at the Savage Arena at 5pm. Songfest is a grand philanthropic tradition that can be described as a song and dance performance. This year, proceeds raised from the event will go toward the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization whose mission is to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. The Wounded Warrior Project has helped thousands of family and service members with medical, housing, along with numerous other types of support. This year’s event is split into three different competitions: Men’s Women’s, and Co-ed groups, which are composed of many Greek, Academic, Religious, and other UT organizations. The University of Toledo takes much pride in these events, raising awareness and donations toward a worthy cause. Current sponsors of Songfest include Blue Key National Honor Fraternity and Mortar Board National Honor Society, both of which hold their recognition and tapping ceremonies during the event. Each organization participating in Songfest was challenged to come up with a fundraising goal to go above and beyond what they raised last year supporting children diagnosed with terminal cancer, which was a grand total of $25,000. According to Joy T. Bennett’s journal article Stepping Up, Joy deliberates the importance of...

...The wounded warriors project is an awesome organization that has made a huge impact on helping wounded warriors live a full healthy life all around america. Wounded warriors organization was found by Steven Nardizzi and John Melia in Jacksonville, FL 2003. They started WWP because they wanted to make other people aware of the vertarines and how they wanted to restore the wounded warriors to their former self and help them so they can walk and use the parts they lost with artificial body parts. The wounded warriors project help people who were in the Army, Navy and those types of programs but they help the ones who have been injured in a war and are pretty much crippled. For example Deron Santiny was tossed by a improvised explosive device and it gave him several injuries such as a concussion, whiplash, ringing in his ears, and he had a spine injury and so the wounded warriors project helped him get back on his feet and he is now inspired by vietnam veterans that have paved the way for soldiers like himself....

...Fine Arts The Marble Statue of a Wounded Warrior is a Roman statue from A.D. 138-181; it is a copy of a Greek statue that was cast around 460-450 B.C. The subject matter of this statue is a warrior in the midst of battle and as the name indicates the warrior is wounded despite the subject not appearing wounded at first glance. The ancient Greek statue depicts a Greek war hero in a contrapposto position caught in a stance of action – the way he is immortalized in the statue directly correlates with Ancient Greek art of its time period and the belief that human body features should be idealized. By evaluating several elements we will be able to see how the Ancient Greek’s act of idolizing the warrior’s physical features is further illustrated in our modern day portrayal of the statue. We will review such things as the statue itself, the history of which it originates from, and the modern day depiction of the statue as viewed from the analysis of the museum’s placement and description of the work of art. As one walks into the corridor where the Wounded Warrior stands, his presence is immediately felt. The frame of reference for us as the viewers is pre-determined. The statue seems to be on a downward slope, his body is at a slight angle where his left foot stands in front of a bent right foot with his head looking down. As we grow closer to the statue, our position in correlation to him is inferior – we are meant to be looking up at him and, as the original probably would have...

...Project Plan This project, Rock ‘n’ Reggae, is an outdoor concert event that will benefit a great cause. This concert will have artists such as Black Eyed Peas, Rhianna, and Wyclef Jean and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Foundation, to help the veterans of war that may be in a financial or medical hardship. Rock ‘n’ Reggae is designed to be an outlet for all citizens across the nation to see and enjoy a great show. The concert will be held at the Marley Memorial Field, a high school, located in the center of the city of Lakeland, Florida. The location was chosen because the younger generations do not have the opportunity to see a concert event. Also, it is a great location because it is centered between the larger cities of Tampa and Orlando, and it also in central Florida, making it easier for those all over the state to attend. The stadium can hold up to 8000 people as well as more in front of the stage, but this will be reserved for those contest winners, online as well as radio contest winners. The area will also be for the media, news cameras, and radio station representatives. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |...

...droop’d and I resign’d myself, To sit by the wounded and soothe them, or silently watch the dead;) Years hence of these scenes, of these furious passions, these chances, Of unsurpass’d heroes, (was one side so brave? the other was equally brave;) Now be witness again, paint the mightiest armies of earth, Of those armies so rapid so wondrous what saw you to tell us? What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, Of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains? 2 O maidens and young men I love and that love me, What you ask of my days those the strangest and sudden your talking recalls, Soldier alert I arrive after a long march cover’d with sweat and dust, In the nick of time I come, plunge in the fight, loudly shout in the rush of successful charge, Enter the captur’d works—yet lo, like a swift running river they fade, Pass and are gone they fade—I dwell not on soldiers’ perils or soldiers’ joys, (Both I remember well—many of the hardships, few the joys, yet I was content.) But in silence, in dreams’ projections, While the world of gain and appearance and mirth goes on, So soon what is over forgotten, and waves wash the imprints off the sand, With hinged knees returning I enter the doors, (while for you up there, Whoever you are, follow without noise and be of strong heart.) Bearing the bandages, water and sponge, Straight and swift to my wounded I go,...

...Analysis and interpretation of “Stolpestad” By Jeppe Bender Lassen In "Stolpestad" from 2008 the author, William Lychack, deals with life in the postmodern society through his main character Stolpestad. A middle-aged police officer not able to settle in the chaotic and confusing postmodern world. What starts out as a routine task of putting down a wounded dog ends up becoming a journey for spiritual awakening, as Stolpestad comes to some life-changing realizations. The story is set in a dull and gloomy town in which Stolpestad grew up and has inhabited ever since. The narrator provides several signs that the town is a place almost completely desolated from excitement. This is for example evident in lines 3-4: “…like a clock ticking all these bored little pent-up streets and mills and tenements away.” Life of the town is decaying. Nothing seems to be done to prevent this from happening. As goes for the case of Stolpestad’s life. Stolpestad leads a quiet and trivial life as a police officer – a job in which the main constituents of a daily schedule are insignificant routine tasks. To fill out the remaining parts of his life he hangs out at bars finding comfort for the lack of substance in his life at the bottom of endless pints of beer. One might almost describe Stolpestad’s trivial life as a never-ending déjà vu, where the days are just passing by indifferently. When Stolpestad is called out to the boy with the injured dog however, he suddenly gets an opportunity of moving...

...Preface: The Warrior Series: Sad to say, I have read a few of them when I was deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. That’s because it’s what they would send me in care packages along with other goodies I liked. But that was another time and story in my life I care to put behind me. So, it has been expressed to me in the past that the ending to the first series was a little weak and I agree. The whole Tigerstar getting batted aside by some little wiener cat from Twolegplace rather than getting his ASS handed to him by Firestar was kind of lame in their eyes. Neither one liked it when a new “Bad Guy” shows up right at the last second and tries to take the place of a long standing relationship with a hated arch enemy, like you’re supposed to be afraid of this guy all of the sudden. Nope. The original Warriors series, released from 2003 to 2004, consists of six books, Into the Fire: Fire and Ice: Forest of Secrets: Rising Storm: A Dangerous Path and The Darkest Hour. Since The Darkest Hour is the last book I read in Iraq, I had to go to the library on Camp Pendleton to look over the book one more time before I started this. The top section in Italic is straight from the final battle in the 6th book, The Darkest Hour, which is my starting point for what you will read below. Anyway, not a great bit of writing on my part, especially the abrupt ending, but according to both my daughter’s, they thought it was a good attempt & agreed that if the story ended the way I put...

...The Voices Told Me So It had been yet another long day. It was about 11pm, so I started playing the new computer game which I’d downloaded about a week ago, I was so addicted. In fact the last 6 days of my life had practically revolved around this game. There was something about the game that drew me in. It was set in a dark forest next to a river; the game had quite an eerie feel and was quite gruesome as you had to kill everyone that stood in your way in order to get to the next level. It was 3:25 in the morning, my mum had told me to get off the computer hours ago but I don’t tend to listen to her much now anyway, she as well as everyone else was so calm even though there were disappearances around our town. I kept telling my mum to be careful, especially when walking to the shop but she just looked at me as if I was crazy. I wouldn’t leave my room though. Oh no. I mean, nothing can happen to me whilst I’m stored away in my room, right? I hadn’t had slept properly for a couple days but as tired as I was, I was too afraid to sleep, I would just toss and turn in my bed all night just so I didn’t have to endure what would happen when I closed my eyes. You see, I’d been having the same dream over and over for the past week now. In this dream I’d see a road, a long dark road that seemed to never end. And it was like I was an untouchable spirit floating above the image of myself walking along this road until I came to a stop. And suddenly my spirit would race like a lightning...

...Knight and Smamurais were the similarities greater than the differences Are the similarities or differences greater between a samurai and a kights. It all started in 1000 to 1600 CE Europe and Japan had a weak government and an even weaker army. It took place in feudal Europe and feudal Japan. They're completely different in the way they fight to the way they trained.They're a different soldier in so many ways. Feudalism that's how it started when a lord acquires a large piece of land and gives some of it to a lesser noble exchange for military services,food,and farm land.They trained these lesser nobles into soldiers,in Europe they were called Knights and in Japan they were called Samurais. They were different by what they called their leaders and by the way they were brought up. They were different by what they believed in. (Background Essay) There leader was called by a different names in Japan they were called Daimyos and in Europe they were called Lords. As the Samurai worked for the Daimyos the Knights worked for the Lord's. Both were taught differently and both started at different times for their training. They were both started at different times. As a Saumiras, when he or she hit the age of 14 they were called a Genpuku. When a Knight became 14 they were called a Squire a Squire continued with weapon training but was called a fighting man. Another difference is the code they followed. A Samurai followed the code of Bushido while a Knight followed Chivalry. Bushido...

...“More than a thousand years ago, a class of professional warriors arose, who swore oaths of loyalty to noble lords and fought to the death to defend them in battle.” Before this, warlords would fight each other to claim land and had threatened to destroy your way of life. Knights and Samurai were the saviors of the nobles and people. Some may argue that Knights and Samurai were extremely different, although they are very much alike. The Samurai and Knights had similar training methods and had similar codes of honor. For Samurai and Knights, the training was very similar. First off, they both started their training at a young age. From the source of the PBS series tilted, “Warrior Challenge” it states that, “ [A] prospective knight’s training [began at the age of four or five] “ (Doc. C) and from the PBS series titled, “Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire” states that, “The rigorous training (of samurai)...began in childhood…” (Doc. C) These two pieces of evidence show that both the knights and samurai had started their training at a young age. This was probably because they could soak in all of the skills while they were young. Also, the warriors of Europe and Japan practiced with a...

...Diary of Signaller Ellis Silas – diary extract : May 1915 1 MAY ENLARGE ‘At the Water hole’, from Silas' book Crusading at Anzac We are relieved from the firing line – the battle still raging; every nerve strained. Australians have done splendidly, holding a very difficult position; have been much troubled with snipers. Am glad I have done my duty. First wash for a week – go down to the Water Hole, which is always covered by Turkish snipers – it was safer in the trenches than here – all around this spot are dead and wounded who have been hit when dodging round this corner; however, one must drink, even if the price be Death. Make dug-outs in our rest camps, but men are continually caught by the snipers. Many are commencing to suffer from dysentery, though the spirit of the men is splendid, always ready for a joke. Signaller Walker just hit in the mouth – we considered we were out of range in our dug-out but the snipers are everywhere. Sergeant of the machine gun is writing a very amusing diary, full of humour; I wish I had his spirit. In the dug-out just above me a poor chap is lying very ill but has asked me to say nothing to the medical officer as he does not want to get sent away in the middle of the fun, as he calls it. Of such stuff are soldiers made – I think if I were in his place I’d be glad of an excuse to get out of this Hell, though I don’t think I should ever have forgiven myself if I had not come. I hear that to-morrow we are going to make a charge – the Turks...

...BOOK ONE A Samurai must become one who is permanently dead. Basically this is saying being a warrior means that if one is faced with the option of life or death the person quickly chooses death.They trust in Bushido that their death is decided by fate and only when the time comes they will be faced with death. Borrow from the wisdom of the past. There will be no excuses that can be taken seriously if you borrow from the wisdom of our elders and of the past, because no matter what circumstances you fall into there has been a person faced with your dilemma and you can learn from the mistakes or decisions. Commit than never waiver. If your mind is set to do something or to accomplish a task and a plan is thought out do not hesitate to do what you believe is right and your instincts will take over as a warrior and the goal will be accomplished. BOOK TWO Never forget the fundamentals. Those who work hard at the practice out of love and passion for what they do tend to get puffed up with pride failing to remember the fundamentals and must stop all extraneous thoughts. There is no better way than to die in battle. As a warrior you must commit yourself to being faced with wars and countless battles you must not wither in the sight of death but race towards it as you are running towards heaven and fight like you are in the presence of God. Right now is that crucial moment and that crucial moment is now. one must treat the present as if this...
