Argumentative Essay on the Vietnam War
In the book Memories of a lost war: American poetic responses to the Vietnam War, the author recounts the deaths of at least fifty-five thousand American soldiers during the Vietnam War. One of the soldiers in the war was Joseph Gregory Artavia, from San Francisco, who was at the rank of Sergeant at the time of his death at the age of nineteen on 24th March 1968 (vvmf.org). Reading the book presents saddening pictures to the reader, which may, to an extent, prove the words of the book’s author on how futile it is to engage in war instead of seeking peace. In O’Brien’s novel, The things They Carried, O’Brien recounts carefully the various things that the soldiers carried to the Vietnam war, reminding the reader about the purpose for which the soldiers carried each of the things. While the author recounts the various things carried to the war, a closer reading presents the reader with the fact that the letters and photographs First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried present the more significant metaphor of what engaging in combat and war truly means to the soldiers.

Childhood is one of the stages of human development. For several years, childhood has been viewed from very few perspectives that would limit the possibility of a universal and common understanding of childhood. For example, most of the common definitions defined childhood based on qualities such as physical and emotional immaturity and vulnerability as compared to adults (Herring, 2018, p30). Meanwhile, other definitions depended on the chronological age, typically regarding everyone under the age of maturity as a child. This alone had a discrepancy since different countries had different ages of majority, with some placing it at eighteen while others placed it at sixteen. In most developed countries, the recorded birth date of individuals dictates their personal and legal activities, determining their employability and other activities (Merriman, 2019, p25). Still, in other societies, childhood is not based on the individuals’ chronological ages. Instead, societies look at such factors as the start of menstruation, heights, facial hair or any other physical markers to determine whether one is already an adult or still a child (Rao et al., 2017, p19). For instance, a girl growing breasts was considered a shift from childhood to adulthood among several African societies until recently. All these differences indicate non-congruence to a common universal understanding of childhood.
