Wilfred owen, written as it was ongoing. Wilfred himself was a junior officer in the british army in the First World War. They are often reprinted words and they show us something about the brutality of war and the experience of war on the western front. They also show us something political. In an argument here, especially in the last part where he talks about men dying for nations, for national causes. The stakes of this one mans death from gas become very high indeed in Wilfred Owens eyes. This gives us a sense of what nations ask men to do in war. To complicate this, i want to give you a quote from another war writer, a patriotic novelist who fought on the western front. His name was ian hague. He was reflecting in the 1930s about war books. Specifically about war books that show us the sortedness of the great war in british memory. He writes, for the last 10 years, weve ....
The original barnes and nobel superstores were modelled on this. Juan thompson talks about living with his father and his book stories i tell myself. You know, he was born in 1936. He didnt grow up in an era where fathers were typically heavily involved in raising kids, so that was part of it. Second, writing was an important thing, family was secondary, for sure.

Links to stories that were written. But making my job and then mysteriously, theyre playing spy versus spy saying look it up and the name is backwards and blah, blah, blah. Its like i dont have time to do that. So making themselves available is is the most useful thing for me. And the other thing i guess i would put out is to not be offended if that particular story does not isnt something that we consider news. I mean, theres just as, you know, i get rejected every day by calling people up and having doors slammed in my face, you know, there are going to be times when we say, well, we just did that story, or theres nothing new there or whatever. I think you have to be prepared for that. Well, thank you. Check here with our time. Yall are going to get a little bit of a bonus. Is there anything that either one of you would like to end with . I would if i could. So i would say that for all of you who are working locally in local communities, like if i could imagine an outcome, it would b ....
End. He did not have much more to live for. Can you compare him to his predecessors or anybody else in the white house . Yes, i think he was more effective than john f. Kennedy and he was a fundamentally legislative president , a person who loved and revered congress. When he governed, that was one of the greatest skills he brought to the table, his relationship and his sense of the institution. Kennedy did not have that. Think that was a big flaw fast forward to today, i think a lot of the president s we have had in recent years, they are much more disconnected from washington and from congress. Some serve, like president obama, for a short amount of time, but they do not invest themselves on capitol hill. I think that is one of the most distinctive features of who he was as a politician. When does the book come out . January 20 15 with penguin. Thank you very much for being with us. Thanks for having me. Youre watching American Hi ....
