The Third World War breaks out and the society that we prefer would be a safe society. The seven characters should be able to protect us and give us what we need in order to survive. In a typical war, some survivors tend to fail being in the shelter due to exceptions. Each survivor is assigned to do something specific during the war in order for each and every character to live. These seven characters remain to be in the shelter because they are the only ones that can actually protect us. Carla is a 36-year old female physician who is unable to have children and is a former military. Carla is useful because she has been in the military and she knows the right techniques on how to protect us. According to the World War II, America quickly needed to raise, train, and outfit a military force (The National WWII Museum). Carla is the character we would need in order to survive in this war because she is a former military who has been trained and can probably keep our shelter safe. To compare, the World War II veterans were looking for Americans to rapidly join the military and strengthen them for other war purposes. A. Debra is a second year medical student who spent summers working as a mechanic at her dad’s garage. She can be useful to the other characters by that she can perform as a medical assistant as well as a mechanic towards any machinery that needs to be fixed. During the war, people had to meet challenges where there would be required to construct huge new factories and existing industries to wartime production so that they would cause a change in the American life (The National WWII Museum). For example, any machinery weapon that would be needed to fix immediately during the war can be accompanied by Debra. Debra can perfor... ... middle of paper ... ... survive during that war and reflect on people’s tragedies. Likewise, the breaking war had an immediate effect on the seven characters which established different types of survival techniques. The war had also contributed why were those seven characters important and how did they manage it more efficiently than others. Works Cited The National WWII Museum. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 Nov. 2013. .

Tony Palmer, the author of “Break of Day”, tells a story that takes place in and out of war. The story follows a man named Murray Barrett who lives in the times of ww2. He ends up finding himself in the middle of it, down at Port Moresby. During the midst of war, Murray ends up coming across an injured Sid Archer, a childhood enemy and the man who stole Will’s (Murray’s older brother) childhood lover. Murray helps Sid instead of abandoning him, despite their childhood drama. In this book, Palmer really focuses on the themes of family, death, and bravery.

There is a major change in the men in this novel. At first, they are excited to join the army in order to help their country. After they see the truth about war, they learn very important assets of life such as death, destruction, and suffering.

During the World War II women's role were focused on one thing, taking over what used to be the roles of men. Although jobs such as being a nurse, a teacher or working in the textile department swing and making clothes were still essentially classified as the typical “woman's job”, the war provided them not so much a gateway but a wider job opportunity to work in different fields. Such as in munitions factories, earning the name Munitionettes and working in the Armed Forces. In the munitions factories the women worked in all manner of production ranging from making ammunition to uniforms to aircrafts. They counted bullets which were sent to the soldiers at war, they mended aircrafts used by pilots during the war to shoot down enemies like birds in the sky.
The authors have created these characters in the short stories to undergo changes, which help make it through tough events. The character development in the stories is important because it shows the changes and events that help shape and create the main characters of the story. Both authors shape the characters through contrasting events, making the characters change from a static to a dynamic character by the end of the story. The authors tie in both the past with the present to create a twist on the future of the main characters. “Soldier's Home,” by Ernest Hemingway, and “Battle Royal,” by Ralph Ellison, are both short- fictional stories sharing a common literary characteristic of character development, influenced by the other characters and events in the story.

Although Jake was spared his life in the great war, he lost another part of his life and future. Jack tries to compensate his lack of any real future with Brett or any other women with his passion for bullfighing and other frivalties. In John Steele Gordon’s article, “What We Lost in the Great War” Gordon laments the loss of hope and future the generation of the war felt. The characters of the novel, and especially Jake, exemplify the lack of direction felt after the war. Their aimless drinking, parties and participation in the fiesta is an example of the absence of focus in their life.

This was the start of a new age in the history for women. Before the war a woman’s main job was taking care of her household more like a maid, wife and mother.

Society also did not like the idea of women working and having positions of power in the workforce but all that change...
When the great war broke out and the outcomes were felt in England, Vera's goals and dreams were becoming more of a dream than a reality. It must be said that although the War brought on many challenges, it was Vera's ambition that allowed her to keep moving forward and that ambition kept her mind in the right place during many triangulations. When the Great War broke out her brother postpones his education to serve in the army for the good cause, it can be said that Verda saw this as a humble move that moved her into completing a one year course, which gave her the ability to help people by becoming a nurse for Red Cross. It must be mentioned that although Verda became a nurse in the Red Cross, she did not find the work disagreeable, however her ambition did no...
O’Brien has many characters in his book, some change throughout the book and others +are introduced briefly and change dramatically during their time in war and the transition to back home after the war. The way the characters change emphasises the effect of war on the body and the mind. The things the boys have to do in the act of war and “the things men did or felt they had to do” 24 conflict with their morals burning the meaning of their morals with the duties they to carry out blindly. The war tears away the young’s innocence, “where a boy in a man 's body is forced to become an adult” before he is ready; with abrupt definiteness that no one could even comprehend and to fully recover from that is impossible.
One of the main themes in the novel “Tomorrow When The War Began” written by John Marsden is resilience when hardships arise. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. Ellie, the main character, strongly demonstrates
