Memos on the Aims of Germany and Japan

The similarities between both memos from Douglas Miller and Joseph Grew is that both of these authors of the memos want whats best for there country and let there country be independent. They try to make peace with all other countries without hurting there own. Also, both authors want there country to be the best and biggest it can be, no matter the cost and they won't back down from doing what they can for there country.

Nonviolence

The statement, "the hardest fiber must melt in the fire of love" means that those who are not open to love and are violent in the presence of love will melt in love because in some way love will find them and they will protect that love instead of using violence. I think in some ways nonviolence can be effective and i also think it would be harder to make it effective compared to violence. In ways nonviolence is more accepted by people but those who are violent see it as a way to be violent towards those who try to be nonviolent. Nonviolence is calmer and more peaceful way of getting what you want compared to those who solve problems with guns and fists and even after a fight the problem is not resolved. As compared to nonviolence whereas if you don't be violent while resolving the problem and if you do so then the problem will be fixed and grudges won't be held against like if you use violence to hurt someone they will get revenge against you even after you think the problem is resolved.

WWI Poems

The poem, In Flanders Fields, I got powerful emotions because the poem was powerful and had a lot of meaning behind it and told a story in just a few sentences. The poem, Zeppelins, the emotions i had were that war comes with great consequences and the author wrote about it with powerful words . In my opinion both of these poems are about heartache in war and what it can bring to people and what life is like during war and what happens after you die. The message of these poems are that soldiers have fought for what they want and in most cases they lose and haertache follows and sometimes death.
