Henry Fleming in Red Badge of Courage The Civil War forced many young boys out of childhood and into adulthood. Most of these young boys were not prepared for war, and Henry Fleming was one of these boys. Henry Fleming's life in New York was routine. He had his normal share of friends and lived on a farm. When Henry got up in the mornings, he always knew exactly what the day had in store for him. This simple and boring life drove Henry to enlist. Henry wanted some excitement and to be seen by everyone as a hero. He wanted to be a man. However, his mother was strictly against his joining the Union Army. She thought that the Army was for rough and uncivilized heathens. His mother's greatest fear was that these heathens would influence Henry to start drinking and swearing. Despite his mother's concerns, Henry enlisted in the Army. But being in the Army wasn't enough, Henry was anxious to go to battle. All along the way to his station he and his fellow recruits were treated kindly. Old men patted them on their backs and young boys admired them when they stopped for rest. This warm feeling faded when they reached the camp. Here life was boring for Henry. The only thing his company did was drill day in and day out. All of the experienced soldiers told war stories every night by the campfire. Henry could only listen because he was still 'wet behind the ears'. He felt left out and often sat alone wondering about battle. War was like an illusion to him. He couldn't imagine people slaughtering each other. "Aren't we too civilized to massacre ourselves?" he often wondered. After hearing the tales of battle, Henry began to be intimidated by fear. Would he run when faced with death or would he have the courage to fight? This question was always on Henry's mind. Finally, after many months of monotonous camp life, the question was answered. After hours of marching one day, Henry's regiment met with a Rebel battalion. When gunfire erupted, Henry sprung up and ran. He ran with "the zeal of an insane sprinter." Now Henry had the answer to his question, he was a coward. After his flight from battle, Henry met a group of soldiers who were wounded. He felt guilty because he was unmarked. He wanted to be wounded like them so he could have his own "Red Badge of Courage." Henry did get his badge of courage on his return to his detachment. Ironically, it was from the butt of a fellow soldier's rifle. Now he was determined to prove himself and show that he would not run again. War used to be something Henry could not imagine fighting in, but now it was his obsession. When the time came he did more than just stand up to his fear, he led the charge against the Rebels and was noticed for his heroic actions by the commander. After the battle he felt as if he had crossed a bridge from being an inexperienced, frightened young boy to a strong and heroic soldier. The war was the catalyst that propelled Henry into manhood. Henry leaped into manhood by having to face every man's greatest fear, death, instead of maturing slowly into adulthood. War seemed to be not even imaginable to Henry, but he ended up smack in the middle of it in an effort to find some excitement and become a hero.

When he got out, he recruited a band of criminals, and they hit every bank in the west. Eventually Henry was wealthy enough to take his girlfriend away from it all, which was his goal from the start. They went to Colorado, where Henry was recognized and arrested. Henry was sentenced, but once again, became a model prisoner, and got released on parole.
Charles Cecil Ingersoll Merritt’s battalion landed on Green Beach. To reach their objectives, the battalion had to cross a heavily guarded bridge that went across the River Scie. German artillery, machine guns, and mortars protected the bridge which halted the battalion’s movement. Merritt took charge while he “led the survivors of at least four parties in turn across the bridge” (1942, p. 4323). From there, they took out several pillboxes and other enemy positions that defended the bridge and successful cleared a village. Even though he was...
"Different emotions battled for dominance in his mind and heart. Confusion. Curiosity. Panic. Fear. But laced through it all was the dark feeling of utter hopelessness..."(Dashner, page #(chapter 2 paragraph 11)
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.
His father made him study and be a good kid so he could be a successful lawyer. He grew up to be just that. Once Henry got shot he forgot all about his successful career as a lawyer. He had to have a trainer to get his brain thinking back to the way it was. Since his trainer was funny, happy, and giving, he thought that's who he was or who he had to be. So once his family told him about how his old life was, he didn't want to be that boring person. He started hugging his doorman every time he got home and joked around with his daughter. Usually, he would go to the library to read and learn but now he hates the library and joked around the whole time with his
Henryk dreamed to dedicate his life to children, especially the weak children, without any parents to protect them. He even believed he will never marry a woman, or have a family. His only family, was the helpless children he had helped.
Technology Innovation: - Boeing should carefully analyze the market to evaluate the trends in the airline industry and aggressively invest in a new product line (top dog strategy) that could counter Airbus’s A380.
In the mornings Henry is a grumpy man who doesn't way a word to anyone in the office, but then once he has his coffee, he becomes a convivial person, smiling and striking up a conversation with everyone he meets.
The efficient market hypothesis has been one of the main topics of academic finance research. The efficient market hypotheses also know as the joint hypothesis problem, asserts that financial markets lack solid hard information in making decisions. Efficient market hypothesis claims it is impossible to beat the market because stock market efficiency causes existing share prices to always incorporate and reflect all relevant information . According to efficient market hypothesis stocks always trade at their fair value on stock exchanges, making it impossible for investors to either purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices. As such, it should be impossible to outperform the overall market through expert stock selection or market timing, and that the only way an investor can possibly obtain higher returns is by purchasing riskier investments . In reality once cannot always achieve returns in excess of average market return on a risk-adjusted basis. They have been numerous arguments against the efficient market hypothesis. Some researches point out the fact financial theories are subjective, in other words they are ideas that try to explain how markets work and behave.
