World War One (Trenches)?

Q: Hi there, thanks for coming here, you see I need a lot of help on my History Solider letter home. It’s an assignment, I have to pretend I’m a solider fighting in the Trench warfare. I have to describe the conditions in the tranches warfare. And I’m suppose to be writing this to my family. God knows why my teacher wants me to write the scary conditions I’m in to my family. LOL. Anyways. So, I have posted this once. But it was half finished. Now it’s actually finish. I’m just wondering if you could edit for me. Because people have been saying I have totally bad grammar. And I am in Grade 10 now..so lol. Anyhoo I hope you like it (it sucks tho). And you can see that I put Dear Beloved, and noting else on purpose. The letter don’t have a date and I didn’t say What nation im in. That’s all part of my plan. Sorry it’s long!Dear, BelovedIt’s so cold, and so dark. The screeching sounds of the battle field keeps even the sky awake. As I look over, I can see dead human bodies, laying there with eyes wide open, the pain they suffered, and the pain my friends have suffered. Everything’s so wrong. When I arrived for the first time, all I could smell was the rotting dead bodies in the shallow graves, so much blood, and the number of people who just kept on dying. The fowl odor of rotten sand bags and the chloride of lime, the browns rats that fed on dead bodies, eating the eyes, and liver. The bloodcurdling sights and smells that I’d could never forget.There are a million of rats everywhere, color brown and black. The brown ones grow to the size of a cat, really. We would try to kill them whenever possible, but were always outnumbered, there always seem to be more. Lice have taken over all the clothes. It doesn’t help that we wash our uniforms either. The eggs are still stuck on. Then they hatch as our bodies warm them up, it’s very itchy. A lot of people are getting sick from what think is the diseases from the rats, and the fever is spreading. The health condition of the people here isn’t the greatest. Some are now disabled physically and mentally. For, shell shock has affected numerous soldiers. The soldiers, who have shell shock now, are always tired, irritable, giddy, has lack of concentration and gets headaches daily. They can’t possible remain in the front line in their condition. The officers take this like their cowards and are just trying to get out of fighting. Some soldiers who have shell shock refuse to obey orders, and then they are shot on the spot. Others even commit suicide under pressure.There’s a place no one wants to be, “No Man’s Land”. The name says it all. Every once and while we have to come up from the trenches and charge to the other end of the battle field. Not only we have to avoid being shot, or blown up. We have deal with barbed-wire and shell-holes. They always want us to go up, and fight, sometimes even gather information on the enemies. They would send small patrol who would crawl across no man’s land on the stomach to retrieve information, if we were lucky, we would be able to capture a sentry. I don’t really think the “enemies” are the soldiers that lie on the outside of no man’s land. I believe that war is the true enemies of the world. But that’s life I suppose. I’ll be home soon.

A: Bear with me for a minute while I go through it:Para.2 Fowl should be foul. Take the ‘s’ off the end of ‘browns.’ Omit “‘d” – you’re creating a double-negative.Para 3 Make up your mind whether to use ‘has’ or ‘have.’ You use both and it screws it up. Possible should be possibly.’their cowards’ should be ‘they’re cowards.”.Para 4 It’s ‘every once in a while’ not ‘and while.’ In sentence 4 add ‘do’ after only. Farther along – “They send small patrols who crawl…. If they’re lucky, they’ll capture…’Para 5 I don’t think the enemies are the soldiers on the other side of No Mans Land. I believe that War itself is the true enemy of the World.Add: “Pray for me – seriously. Any soldier would have. They still do.Most letters were written to Mothers with a “say hello to Father for me” thrown in.Good Luck!

Does anyone care what’s going on in the world?

Q: Don’t imagine a land that stretches out for thousands of miles. To the west of this land there is a paradisewhere the people are golden and everyone gets along.Now in the far far east of this land there is a hostile place where the people are backwards, the guys sleep with each other, there is rape, the children are abused, there is addiction, disease, venomous creatures, earthquakes, volcanoes, ect.Then one day for what ever reason people in the Far East start to be good (The power of God Now meanwhile in the west golden people in long boats start to attack others, war starts to break out, disease starts to spread, famine takes hold, the oxygen rich trees are chopped down to make ships, people travel out wards capture land and kill tribes or use them for slaves. Meanwhile in the Far East things are getting better.Yet in the west things like prostitution, addiction and child abuse becomes wide spread. The females are being cruel and the guys are fucking each other. More children are being used for sex and the prisons are over crowded.Then people from the Far East start flooding in to the country building temples and sending money back home.Yet people in the west of this land are not bothered because of the affect of being good in the far east of this land has caused people in the west of this land to not give a fuck about anything.It wouldn’t seem like someone somewhere realised that there were parallel civilisations in the world and didn’t go round convincing nations there is a god and handing out different books to different nations.And no of course I don’t think it’s anything to do with Israel.Not believing in god doesn’t reverse the natural order of things.This doesn’t include star signs.Of course you’re not living in a bubble of beliefHow don’t you cope with this?By not realising what’s going on of courseDon’t try things like saying to people “don’t think backwards”.

A: Most people care but aren’t in a position to do anything about it.Not sure what your rant is all about, it doesn’t make sense to me.

Q: I am 11 and want to know what you think of my writing. I’m not done yet and would do lots of editing if I wanted anything done with it.——————————————————————————–Earth lay in ruins. Humans were on the brink of extinction; the few left were forced to kill each other for food. Their population was diminishing by the minute, threatening to die off completely. Animals were completely wiped out except for in the deepest parts of the ocean. Earth had gotten this way with seemingly simple problem; overpopulation. By 2080 the human population lay at 12 billion people, and food was getting more and more scarce. There were huge recessions and great poverty. The United States thought the UK had more food, and the UK thought the US had more food, and the tension between them got grew. Soon other countries joined in, and it was World War III. Toxic, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons were launched at every country. Before they knew it, there were only a few thousand humans left, but by the time they put down their weapons it was too late. Diseases people had launched at their own relatives spread over the world, until only a couple hundred people survived. It seemed that there was no hope, no hope at all, for the human race.But they were wrong. Years earlier, NATO predicted there would be a war sooner or later, so they set precautions. And so it was that on June 4, 2078, the large 50-man space shuttle The Renaissant plunged into space. The crew would travel for years, cryogenically frozen, until their radar picked up a planet with livable conditions, at which time they would set up a colony and populate the new planet.This book is the diary of David Polong, shipmate of the ship Renaissant and one of the 50 Saviors of Earth. August 14, 2091I feel like turd. Turd that’s been frozen for 12 years and then unthawed in a giant microwave, only to find itself floating 20,000 light years away from Earth in a giant high-tech garbage can coated in depleted uranium. That’s actually not far from the truth. I’ve been cryogenically frozen, and it felt just like taking a nap for a while so I could sleep. And sleep. And sleep. And sleep. Well, the computer must have pulled me out of the freezer for a reason, so I’m going to stop writing and see what the new planet looks like.August 15, 2091I’m feeling better now, but I ate 30 pounds (Yuck, freeze dried waffles!) at breakfast and had to take a special pill to barf it up. My body is confused from being frozen, John said. John is the ship’s doctor and the closest thing I have to a father, as my parents died in the riots. Anyway, when I looked at the computer printouts I was shocked. There hadn’t been any satellite activity on Earth for 3 years. What they said was true. We were the last hope for humanity.Then I heard a beeping sound and looked at the monitor. There is no way to describe what I felt when I saw the screen. The radar results were off the chart. Not only was there water on the planet, there was life. And not just a small plant and a tadpole, but whole rainforests and animals of every size and shape. It was like somebody had pulled the ship out of real life and put it in a scene from Planet of the Apes, that movie we had to watch in Pre-Recession History. I can’t wait to explore it and set up a colony on it. Even for a kid that has only spent 12 years out of a cryogenic chamber, I know this planet will save the human race. I look forward to helping it do so, no matter how dangerous that might be.August 20, 2091The last 5 days have been the most suspenseful ones in my life, while we orbited the planet, scanning the conditions. The whole planet was covered with rainforests, and it looked something like this. (It shows a picture of a planet)Presumably, the water is purple because of mineral deposits, but it tested “Non-poisonous” on the radar. The gas levels were breathable, but the gases in it made our voices unusually high. Even though the tests all show that the conditions are livable, Otis Peters, our captain, says we can’t explore yet because we need to, “Get used to ourselves again.” Even though I disagreed, John said we had to so I dropped the matter.August 23, 2091Today we christened the planet. Because there had been no traditions regarding the discovery of planets, we decided to make one. Otis dropped a wine bottle out the porthole and we traced its path to the ground with telescopes. Then he said, “I dub thee, Vierge!” and our planet had a name.As I watched the bottle shatter against the rocks, a thought hit me. There was no turning back. I had deserted Earth and all of its inhabitants for this bleak, hostile future. I stifled a tear. I heard the footsteps of a man, and then John was patting me on the back and saying, “It’s okay. We may have left Earth, but Earth was gone before we were. Now go to

A: Wow, that’s hecka good! I wanted to keep on reading, but there was none left ^^”’So if this is something you think you’d wanna work on, you should go for it! You’re very talented =)
