Along the shore, the cannons roar. Oh how can a soldier sleep? The going's slow on Anzio. And hell is six feet deep. Praise be to God for this captured sod that rich with blood does seep. With yours and mine, like butchered swine's; and hell is six feet deep. That death awaits there's no debate; no triumph will we reap. The crosses grow on Anzio where hell is six feet deep.” (Audie Murphy paragraph 4).

“How awful it is for that person which suffers this great wrath and infinite misery!”(Edwards 89-90). This is the best example of Edwards doing what he does best in his sermons; using literary devices to scare people. Why would anyone do this? Well, he uses fear for persuasion. How he does this is carefully and delicately layered in his words. Edwards uses loaded language, vivid imagery, and specific types of sentences in order to scare his audience into becoming better Puritans.
In 1989 I was a private in basic training at Fort Benning Georgia United States Army Infantry School. In a classroom setting, for a reason that I cannot recall, one of my drill sergeants said “you’re no Audie Murphy.” I made the rookie mistake of asking “Who is Audie Murphy?” The room went silent. I did not know why, but I knew something was wrong because all three of my drill instructors including the senior drill instructor stared at me like I dropped my rifle. The senior drill instructor said, “You’re in the Army and you don’t know who Audie Murphy is?” In a stern voice he told me to find out then report back to tell him about Audie Murphy. I asked other people in the class, and I learned quickly that Audie Murphy is one of the most well-known Army war heroes in our nation’s history.
What if one could travel in time to the future to see how society has changed? Richard Wright created a bleak image of African Americans trying to survive in the South, specifically in the cities of Jackson and Memphis, in his semi-autobiographical novel Black Boy. A problem that Wright highlighted in his novel was that Whites seemed to try hard to prevent Blacks from gaining success. Approximately sixty years later, writers John Lee Hancock and Michael Lewis bring the story of Michael Oher, a young homeless Black man who achieves success through the help of his adopted White family, to the big screen in a movie called The Blind Side. If Richard Wright was able to travel to Oher’s time period he would be pleased with his story because of where Oher came from, how Oher was able to achieve success, and the reactions from those in Oher’s time period to his story.
...in the time that he had here on earth with us. He was the most decorated man in Military History and today now there is a club named after him which is known as the “Audie Murphy Club”. He has also made many films that many people do not know about, but hopefully now they will. I hope many more people will know now who he is and what he has done, I know I do and being in the Military we know about him, but people in the civilian world don’t. Audie Murphy is a big part of our History and hopefully now people will see that.
Death is a concept that people find hard to accept. You keep asking yourself “what if” as if it’s going to make your loved one come back. “What if I had been there? What if someone had talked him out of it? What if…?” You always ask yourself these questions, but never get an answer. I find myself still asking these questions even though I know they will never be answered. Death takes the ones we love the most too soon. Unfortunately, I know this feeling all too well.
Born in the countryside of Hunt County, Texas on June 20, 1924 and the child of a sharecropper, Audie Leon Murphy was raised by his mother. His father roamed in and out of the family's life and ultimately abandoned them. As a kid, Audie was a loner with emotional issues and a dangerous temper. During the fifth grade, Audie dropped out of school and landed a position picking cotton for a dollar a day to help his family amid the Great Depression. In any case it was his ability with a rifle that served to put nourishment on the table.
Billboards along I-35 leading to Austin proclaiming “Bring Lyndon Home” made me laugh almost uncontrollably. A few weeks before, I had depleted the appeals to my draft board to extend my deferment for another semester, and I knew what that meant: the letter beginning “Greeting” would be in the mail shortly. After a spring break road trip from my East Texas college in Commerce to Marfa and Big Bend, I was stopping in Austin to tell a friend goodbye before my draft notice arrived.

This is Audie Murphy's life story. At the tender age of 12, he becomes the head of the family after his father deserts them. He joins the army at the age of 18 and through the course of the war is decorated for valor nine times thus becoming the most decorated combat soldier in World War II. Audie does one of the bravest acts any soldier ever did during the war. He climbs aboard a burning tank destroyer and single handedly keeps the enemy from advancing on his position.

For this action, Audie receives the Medal of Honor.
I stayed late to close up the shop, a responsibility not ordinarily bestowed upon minors. Had I come home earlier, I might not have seen Michael Gallagher. The Gallaghers lived in a dingy house down the street from mine, but anyone who got too close was soon accosted by the Rottweiler chained up in the yard. Children walked on the other side of the street, and people gripped their wheels more tightly when driving by. From what I´d heard, it had to do with more than the dog.
