War Essay
So I'm doing an essay on a "soldier's experience". In the introductory paragraph I have to give a Hook, Background Info, and a Thesis Statement. This is my thesis: War is a lifechanging experience -- for the bad. Does anybody have any ideas for a hook? And also.. for the background info part it's kind of where your opinion about war goes. So what is all of your guys opinino about war? Thank youuu

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
ah i don't know about a hook but i just had to voice my opinion on what i think of war (the violence and guns and combat stuff ........ hope it helps.....
this is an analogy:
it's like rape.... the act itself is violent and horrible but the end result is a health baby (in some cases....this is a very negotiable point). in the same respect it brings into question this:
had the mother of that child escaped her fate of being raped would she have done so keeping in mind she has her baby that she loves?! (personal point: i think she would've... tho some wud argue that she wdnt give up the baby) anyway if she would it wud mean no baby.... but if she wud go through it for the sake of keeping it will that pain of being raped... of her past horror, ever go away? probably it will fade when she dies and the only thing left of her is her baby... but even that baby in itself is already partly a link or something of a result of a horrible action... and it has been documented that children of rape are indeed prone to higher risks of mental and emotional instability and imbalance.... so how is this justified?
and in that respect this again brings me to question the legitimacy of war?
i really disagree with it even as a last desperate measure and i think its an action taken irrationally... in any case i never support the combat/violence war... i would much rather go with economical or political war and such... besides i believe it has more power in manipulating things and bringing beneficial or practical end results.........
(i am just throwing random ideas here for the sake of the analogy: would it be better to have committed a dead -rape- and be persecuted for it or would it be more effective and "safer" to seduce the individual and have them yield willingly?)
these are my thots :) hope they help!

It is true what the other advisor answered you, But people who don't belive in war, and that has been for thousands of years, have always believed that. so that is old news. What I find different about this war, and what I wonder about the young soldiers who are fighting the war in Iraq and Afghanastan is this? The young soldiers who are fighting today spent hours and hours playing video games where they, well....they killed people, the enemy. They worked hard to get good at it. This is an "unusual phenomenon" that has never occured before. Sure kids my age played cops and robbers and had toy soldiers to play with, but hey today's video games are so realistic. What affect has this had on these young men. I have read a number of posts on line by young soldiers who had a rude awakening, learning that real war is nothing like virtural war. Maybe you can find a "hook" in that concept.
Maybe it is something you could explore. It would certainly be different.
HOpe this helps.

There is always a more peaceful way of solving something that doesn't have to be quite as barbaric. God did not put us on this Earth so we can solve our problems by seeing which country can kill the most people and causing grief in families and/or friends. Life is a gift we cherish, not try to help it disappear. War is not only a life-changing experience, but it is a life-taking experience as well. The world is a crazy place, but if War is what we have to do to save our country and its people, it will be done. What happens, happens. Everything meant to be, will be. We will see the ones we love in Heaven if we follow God's laws.
((However, this essay is supposed to be based on YOUR OPINION. So please, if you agree with mine, don't take it word for word. Re-word it.))
