Cold War 99 Red Balloons by Nena - Lyrics Verse 1: You and I in a little toy shopbuy a bag of balloons with the money we've gotSet them free at the break of dawn'Til one by one, they were goneBack at base, bugs in the softwareFlash the message, "Something's out there"Floating in the summer sky99 red balloons go by. Verse 5: 99 dreams I have hadIn every one a red balloonIt's all over and I'm standin' prettyIn this dust that was a cityIf I could find a souvenierJust to prove the world was here... Image source: http://wenjamin.com/redBalloon.gif Verse 3: 99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meetTo worry, worry, super-scurryCall the troops out in a hurryThis is what we've waited forThis is it boys, this is warThe president is on the lineAs 99 red balloons go by.

  4. WWI Not to Keep by Robert Frost - Poem They sent him back to her. The letter came Saying…and she could have him. And before She could be sure there was no hidden ill Under the formal writing, he was in her sight – Living – They gave him back to her alive – How else? They are not know to send the dead – And not disfigured visibly. His face? – His hands? She had to look – to ask, “What was it, dear?” And she had given all And still she had all – they had – they the lucky! Wasn’t she glad now? Everything seemed won, And all the rest for them permissible ease. She had to ask, “what was it, dear?” “Enough, Yet not enough. A bullet through and through High in the breast. Nothing but what good care And medicine and rest – and you a week, Can cure me of to go again.” The same Grim giving to do over for them both. She dared no more than ask him with her eyes How was it with him for a second trail. And with his eyes he asked her not to ask. They had given him back to her, but not to keep.

WWI Not to Keep – Analysis: the Loss of Loved Ones …And before She could be sure there was no hidden ill Under the formal writing, he was in her sight – Living. – They gave him back to her alive… …and she had given all And still she had all. This passage describes the overall attitude relatives back at home had towards soldiers going to war. Most of them expected death or at least an injury. …The same Grim giving to do over for them both. She dared no more than ask him with her eyes How was it with him for a second trail. And with his eyes he asked her not to ask. They had given him back to her, but not to keep. This shows the sadness and feeling of hopelessness that people at home felt when their loved ones were sent to war. Sharp contrast to happiness in first stanza Effectively conveys how she feels about him going to war again. …The same Grim giving to do over for them both.

WWI Post Traumatic Stress Disorder • Reliving the experience • No escape • No drugs to cure PTSD during WWI • “It was a most ludicrous sight, our sergeant, boot in hand with yellow water spilling forth, swaying as he made mockery of our situation. It was too much for the men---and myself as well.” • Yellow water is a symbol of death and pain. • The horrible conditions the soldiers lived in during the war contributed to PTSD • PTSD is a disease that is preventable. • What is PTSD? • Shell Shock • Symptoms? • Causes? • The Devil’s Trap by M Stanley Bubien. • American soldiers during WWI • “On instinct I fired” [12] • Exaggerated startle when shocked • The soldier’s time in the war has made him a victim of PTSD • “But alas no. I sank back down. We were, each side caught by the same question---it was a trap, a devil’s trap from which there was no escape. [19]
