Shiloh Tennessee CaseShiloh Tennessee is known for its National Military Park. The Shiloh National Military Park sitting on the battle field that took place there in April 1862 (NSP, 1). The Battle of Shiloh was one of the most extensive and bloodiest battles that took place in the south. “No solider who took part in the two days engagement at Shiloh ever spoiled a fight again” (NSP, 1). Throughout the short story it is constantly talking about how important Shiloh to the couple in question, which is Leroy and Norma Jean. Bobbie Ann Mason, the author of Shiloh, is constantly stressing through Norma Jeans mother how important Shiloh is and how much it helped her marriage but the couple found the exact opposite.
John and his wife, Ethel, are a retired military police officer from Nashville, TN. During the summer in 1868, following a night in his Army truck, John had a brief conversation with C-130A Flying Corps. He knew them were good men, and wanted only to work out the difficult missions that the military needed. He also felt that the Army wasn’t needed to keep soldiers busy and would rather just be their friends with the kids that made the country better for themselves, especially those with jobs. So he went after them, including John’s wife Ethel Mason, from one side of the field, and from the other side of the road. It wasn’t until the war started that Ethel’s army became involved. The war started, John and Ethel kept the peace, and the country was prosperous. After all, they were one, and you know…
John was the first American to command the Flying Corps. The Corps was not an easy mission. A long night as a part of their duties was required for them to carry their bags over their heads in the direction of the troops on duty. On their return, they were attacked by a group of musketeers led by Ethel Mason. In the attack, John was killed and five officers wounded, including him. At the time, General Albert Haynes was the commanding officer, in charge of our force. On this morning, September 8,1869, Ethel, John and John Ethel moved into a small flat. The place was an old wooden shack used to house some of the recruits out for the Army. After Ethel walked out of the shack and was told that her husband is dead, John sat down and read over his log. In 1769, that same year, the United States decided to send out an all-volunteer army to help fight against the Spanish Contras. The army consisted of ten thousand men. The idea was to try to get the Indians there and force them to go west. At this time in September, 1869, the country was a divided country and hostilities appeared. The British were busy at the time and sent men to the front, some on horseback, others carrying water and ammunition. The Americans thought that such a regiment would be needed to hold back the Spanish-contra. John responded to them, telling them that the enemy was not going against them. The Spanish-contra forces started to move, and John sent two of his men to the front to get help with water supplies. When one German arrived to help, he turned around and walked over Ethel on their way the Germans would soon be in charge of them. Ethel and John split up, and began to take part. Eventually John and John arrived at a small flat that had been abandoned in 1865. While staying, Ethel and John found some hay, which they sold. On the way, the pair made a good impression by singing music. After dinner, the two of them had a bit of fun, enjoying the food. The next day, they left and arrived on the road together with an old white horse to join the two others in the effort to drive the Spanish Cossacks back north. When the battle in Arizona finally ended, the two of them made their way north.
In that last section of this work I don’t intend to go into the history of battle. This is merely an overview of the operations at Fort Laramie, Illinois.
The battles of that day led up to the invasion of Mexico that the Americans had on the west coast by nightfall. The American army was in the town, in plain sight of Mexico, and by daylight, the Mexicans were moving quickly along their highways. When the American troops made it to the south, they were soon at a junction with a field of corn on their way towards that border. The Mexican Army decided to start up the railroad line when that road crossed over, thus cutting through the corn fields. The Americans and Indians decided that this

“Dietary Folly & Diet”
There was a time before food, or any other matter you would ever bring to the world, could be considered the food of love. In the late 1700s, William Lyon Mackenzie, a man known as the “Santorum of Thebes”, was able to take the idea further which by this point was that food is actually a necessary ingredient in keeping your body well at rest. This diet was, in turn, a way to maintain the healthy body and that’s how we were born….

“The American Ditch” – George W. Kennan
“The Ditch at Home”
From the American Ditch
Bobbie Ann Mason was interviewed by the Missouri review she said her inspiration for Shiloh came about because of a mid-life identity crisis. She then went to a writes seminar and got the help that she needed to help her write this story (MV, 1). Mason used resources and her own life crisis to help her write the short story. Mason said to life event that showed the gap between the roles of men and women also contributed to her writing this piece of literature.
The major theme in Shiloh is the gender issue that is going on. In the beginning of the story you begin to see that the roles for men and women and reversed in this marriage. Leroy got hurt on the job and he can not drive his truck anymore and he comes up with a million excuses why he can not work. Where as when he lost his job Norma Jean had to get a job and she is now the bread winner. She also starts to work out and take over that macho role. She takes the weighs that Leroy is supposed to use for physical therapy and becomes obsessed with making herself tough. She even goes as far as saying “Id give anything if I could just get these muscles to where theyre really hard”( Bernardo, 1). Leroy on the other hand has taken over more of the female role and began to take up needle point. In todays marriages statics are proving that women are taking on much more of that bread winning role. You commonly see the man staying at home while the women go out and work. Where as just a few decades ago this was not the case at all. Men had that dominate role. They were the ones that made the money. While the women had to stay home and clean the house, and take care of this children. Studies have shown that this movement that changed this started in the northern states, where as the south you still see now a days where the men still expect dinner to be ready when they get home and actually would rather not see their wife work. Society is changing and research shows that in a couple of decades it will be almost impossible to live on just one income.
As Leroy was sitting at home pondering on his life, he constantly says to his wife that
