- ... to become communist after the South split off in 1954 to become its own democratic nation. The United States saw this as a threat to democracy, and using the Domino theory, successfully threw the U.S. into the one of the worst wars it has ever seen.

The flow of 'military advisors' from 700 to over 14,000 1 built up steadily through John Kennedy's presidency, and after he was assassinated, Lyndon B.

- 533: Billy Budd
- ... an unorthodox practice (that is; jumping from pt. to point), of writing an essay I shall constantly change and directions and goals of what it is I wish to state.

Maybe the narrator believes that Billy is true on a deeper sense; in other words, it corresponds to real experience.

He also feels great remorse over his so called enemy's death "For my enemy...a man divine as myself is dead." He then shows his love for the enemy "I...bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin." He ... firelit homes". These men have learned to appreciate them, and now are their everyday dreams, while they are in "foul dug-outs, gnawed by rats, and in the ruined trenches, lashed with rain". There isn't hate in this poem usually associated with war, there is a common dream among all soldiers fearing their life. In these poems we see a common thread, the distortion of the mind, through war. In The Man He Killed, we see Hardy's view of war twisting the mind and forcing soldiers to kill men they have no personal vendetta against. In Reconciliation, we see Whitman's view of soldiers' minds being twisted in order to achieve ...
- 536: McDonald’s Americanizing Europe
- McDonald’s Americanizing Europe At one of several concerts in Europe by the American rock sensation Bruce Springsteen, 30,000 enraptured youths wear jeans and T-shirts bearing the names of American universities, states, and products. At their feet are thousands of empty Coca-Cola bottles. Springsteen addresses the crowd in English and sings—to roaring applause—his hit, “Born in the U.S.A.” (Billard 34). These types of images continually bring up the question: Is European culture being overshadowed or diminished by the American culture? For years now since World War II, America has had a ...
