Throughout his birching Hardman 's strokes seemed to be coming harder and harder but by dint of taking each stroke and being encouraged to keep taking it like a man, Hardman eventually got to the point where his resolve was good and strong (like Staff Wilding 's right arm) and the lad knew that he had to take it, he did not want to let himself or Staff Wilding down. Hardman 's attitude shows that he is made of the right stuff and that Staff Wilding 's assessment of the lad is accurate. From the start, Staff Wilding was certain that the lad would take his medicine well, even though Staff Wilding would be laying on the Army Birch as hard as he could by the end. Hardman knows that he has to be a man about such things, floggings …show more content…
With this sort of attitude, the lad will go far. He also knew that taking his birching properly would enhance his status amongst his mates; so he had this added incentive to endure the extreme pain that was getting more and more acute with each stroke of the Army Birch that landed on his backside. Being respected by one 's peers, can be a very strong motivation to overcome a severe challenge! Amongst the Boy Soldiers Witt was always considered to be the hardest lad, even after his birching and all the fuss that he made whilst it was being laid on. Lads being lads, now view Hardman as the hardest lad because he was far more manly when taking his strokes of the Army Birch and he got twice the dose Witt did. Young Hardman is currently 'Cock of the Walk ' and feeling very smug because he showed his mates how a real hard lad takes an Army Birching, no doubt this will get young Hardman into further trouble and see him getting his backside welted with the Army Birch again, before much longer. It is only right that Hardman has displaced Witt as the hardest lad in the regiment, given the fuss that Witt made while he was taking his …show more content…
I am sure that having to birch the lad won 't stop Staff Wilding from taking his belt off to the lad today and giving his backside another good, hard leathering, Staff Wilding knows that Hardman is the kind of lad that benefits from a constantly sore backside, just like he was (is). Hardman definitely took his Army Birching like a real man and Staff Wilding was genuinely impressed with how Hardman took it. Staff Wilding was really laying on the Army Birch hard by the end, yet Hardman manfully took each stroke, even though that stroke clearly challenged him. Hardman 's buttocks are clearly made of tough stuff, as Staff Wilding expected his backside to be cut and welted by the end of his Birching. Given how tough Hardman 's buttocks clearly are, I 'm sure that Staff Wilding will make sure that his leathering later that day, is laid on even harder than normal! Lads like young Hardman need good, hard, regular Corporal Punishment - it is the only

He figured out that his personality had changed and realized that he now felt more mean. War changes people, with some changes being very dramatic and very quick. This is evident in the behavior of Norman Bowker, Bob “Rat” Kiley, and Tim O’Brien. These changes affected each person differently, but they all had dramatic changes to their personalities. These changes have very severe effects on each person.

Bierce writes, “we observed that he had one most objectionable and unsoldierly quality: he was vain of his courage” (Bierce 63). Bierce, as an officer in the Army, knows that Brayle’s actions does not reflect the quality of an officer should posses. Although Baryle’s actions might seem courageous and inspiring to an ordinary civilian, anybody with military background and tactical knowledge can see the underlying danger of Brayle’s actions.
She played the hard to get card and did not acknowledge his presence. However, as he leaves the residence and walks down the road he stops by Joy/Hulga and they exchange conversation. Joy/Hulga begins her devious plans of seducing Manly Pointer in this conversation. She tells Manley Pointer that she is seventeen, when in fact, she is in her early thirties. Manley Pointer flirts on about how he thinks she is brave and “real sweet” (pg. 2532). He asks Joy/Hulga to meet him on Saturday and Joy/Hulga agrees to do so. It is here in the story where the narrator describes Joy/Hulga’s intentions to seduce Manly Pointer. Joy/Hulga believes that Manley Pointer is under her thinking and that she is superior to everyone around her and can easily manipulate him. She wants to seduce him because she wants to enlighten him with her version of the truth. She wants to seduce him so he would have “…reckon with his remorse” (pg. 2533). She wants him to really think about the wrong he has done and the guilt he feels after she leads him to fall. She then wants to take this remorse and change “…it into a deeper understanding of life” (pg. 2533). She wants to change his philosophy into her philosophy that to her is “something useful”

For some time the Army has been using a certain expression to defines what an Army leader actually is. To keep it basic, the three words be, know and do explains it all!
During the Civil War, injuries caused lots of damage on soldiers and their bodies. Usually, when a soldier gets severely injured, amputation was the best option. A common phrase, “Bite the Bullet”, became very prevalent upon the Civil War culture. The phrase literally meant during the amputation process, the surgeon gave an actual bullet to the soldier to bite on while his limb was being removed (Phrases). In the beginning of the novel, Henry constantly contemplated running when the battle started, or staying to fight for victory. Henry did not show any signs of courage until he steeped on the battlefield for the second time and began to fight. Injuries inflicted on Henry and his comrades drew out a lot of courage on themselves along with the rest army division. “At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be peculiarly happy. He wished that he, too, ...
Respect to me is admiring someone for their abilities, qualities, or achievements. I think respect is always earned an can never be given. As soldiers soldiers we should always respect our peers because they have made the same sacrifice as us. But as soldiers we should have a higher level of respect for our NCOs because they have done their time an have earned it. Being respectful is not hard it is simple, just treat others the way we would like to be treated ourselves.
Obedience may be a simple word, yet it has a powerful impact on the daily lives of millions. Obedience is simply when one follows the orders or directions of another figure, presumably in an authoritative position. This is something nearly everyone bows to everyday without even realizing it - and it can drastically change our lives as we know it. Obedience is, for example, how the holocaust happened. The Germans were ordinary people turned into murderers because they followed the orders of one man - their dictator, Adolf Hitler. Of course, obedience does not always result in horrid results such as the holocaust or result in such a large catastrophe. Obedience can have drastic effects on the lives of only a few men as well; this is showcased in the movie A Few Good Men.
Jimmy Cross is blaming himself for it. “You couldn’t burn the blame.… The things men did, or felt they had to do.… He would show strength, distancing himself” (O’Brien 22-24). As Lt. Cross is blaming himself for the death of a friend and comrade , he goes into the “From this moment on” speech. The book reads “…or felt they had to do” (O’Brien 24). He feels as if he needs to be courageous from this moment on. Why? Because he feels responsible for the death of another. “You couldn’t burn the blame” (O’Brien 22). He is fearful of the fact that he might loose another and that is what drives him to courage. “He would show strength, distancing himself” (O’Brein 24). Showing courage, from this moment on, no matter what the circumstances, no matter what the war throws at him, he would show courage. He would be courageous. Later in the book, it speaks of the mindset of Lt. Cross. “Jimmy Cross did not want the responsibility of leading these men. He had never wanted it.” (O’Brien 160). The only reason he is their Lt. is that he signed up for the ROTC instead of being drafted. (O’Brien 160 Paraphrase). He never wanted the responsibility, he never wanted to have to be courageous, he never wanted to have to carry the weight of his wrongdoings, he never wanted the power of holding his fellow men’s lives in his hands as a commanding officer does. He just didn’t want it. But in the end, what makes him a good CO, is that he is still courageous. He is still fearful of the shame of loosing a man, but he seems to move past it. He shows
