So why doesn't anyone : : care to post something on the internet about it, so I can use : : it for my research paper????????HELP..... : There is the openning one or two paragraphs that : describe Krebs before he went off to war; he is at : a Methodist University and a member of a fraternity. : All of these things imply a degree of regimentation : that he has tacitly agreed to. Methodist = the tenets : of an organized religion. University = going to cles, : studied, learning something as a career. The Fraternity = : agreeing to the rules of the particualr House, pledging, etc. : And when he goes to war he joins the marines. At that time : the Marines did not draft recruits. Men volunteered, so again, : Krebs has chosen the regimentation of this particular unit. : And the fighting at Bellow Woods (was it Bellow Woods mentioned : in the story?) was the major battle for the US Marines during : the great war. : Now take all of the examples of regimentation that Krebs acceeded : to before the war, and compare them to how he acts afterwards. Towards : his mother, girls in general, a , a career. This seems to be the : point of the story...how Krebs was changed by his expiriences. : hth : Pjk
