was mentally exhausted. My platoon had been
assigned the duty of clearing bunkers. During the
last portion of our briefing we were given

Morally Correct Good Intentions
646 words
War, regardless of its noble justifications and
the good intentions of soldiers, dehumanizes men
and feeds their self interest, making it difficult
to remain moral. The novel Catch 22 by Joseph
Heller illustrates the emotional consequences of
war. Catch 22 is a perfect example of
demonstrating how soldiers change or morph from
when they enter the war, until they leave if
fortunate enough. Soldiers enter war with good
intentions. They enter figuring they will not see
any combat and the thought of...

13 Th Century Fa Ade

The Tomb Effigy of Jaquelin deferrer (Limestone,
North French, late 13 th century) is unusual in
style for the time and place in which it was
created. In the 13 th century, Gothic art in
France consisted of more three dimensional
sculpture and more of a variety in the poses of
the figures than in the Romanesque period which
preceded it. The Tomb Effigy of Jaquelin deferrer
falls into the transition period between the
Romanesque (11 th- 12 th century) and Gothic
time-frames (12 th- 15 th century)...
