Hall of Icons Project

1. Your thesis statement. This should communicate something original (and hopefully, interesting) about the connection you have established between your icons.

Shakespeare wrote "Saint Crispen's Day Speech" about men who stood against many and this quote portrays the bond these men shared just like the picture from gears of war 2 shows this bond between men and shows how this bond has expanded to young children through literature, video games and movies.

2. Body Paragraphs: Topic sentence. Evidence. Analysis. Bonus: Transition to the next paragraph.

Literature is a class every child takes, and a poet they always read about due to his extremely popular literary pieces would be Shakespeare.

"Morale in the English line as they looked upon the overwhelming force of heavily armoured, highly skilled French knights must have been extremely low. King Henry, rising to the occasion, spoke words of encouragement that rallied the English troops and carried them to a victory. As a result of the victory the French Princess Catherine was betrothed to Henry V, and France and England were at peace for the remainder of Henry's short life. He perished of dysentery in 1422, but was survived by his son (Henry VI) and was buried at Westminster Abbey, close to the shrine of Edward the Confessor."

Video games is also another form that children learn of this through violent video games revolving around a team and how they grow and lose people close to them.

Evidence would be gears of war 2, call of duty 1,2,3,4

One more big way that they learn this bond is through movies such as band of brothers that give first hand experience of people who have been in wars like World War 2 and how they grew together a bond that can only formed in combat.

You've fought bravely, proudly for my country, you're a special group. found in one another a bond that exists only in combat, among brothers. you've seem death and suffered together, I'm proud to have served with each and every one of you.

3. Conclusion: Looks to the future, leaves us thinking, refers to the thesis but keeps us moving beyond so our experience in the real world now includes your perspective.

Look at how wars today cause men to learn of these bonds between men, and how these bonds will be there until there is no war. This bond among men who fight for their country fight for you, and even if you do not believe in the reasons of the war you should always believe in the men who put down their lives for the safety of the country.


We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother
