Many battles and wars (such as the one at Gettysburg), are commemorated by statues or monuments, with some areas preserved as monuments and national parks. This claim contradicts the view that Carl Sandburg (1918) has developed in his war poem "Grass"." I am the grass; I cover all.", the poet ,here,  believes that people forget about battles and wars. "All" refers to  the bodies from different battles and wars. The grass , "Let me work.." will naturally bury the misery and the mistakes human beings have made. Besides, time will pass and the people visiting the places where the piles of bodies were buried will just ask these simple questions : " What place is this?; Where are we now?" because society will easily forget about its own wounds. The poet's view is pessimistic. Nature will cover up human beings ' mistakes and they will make them again since they will be erased from memory. The fact that human beings repeat their mistakes is reflected when the poet mentions many wars and battles : "Austerlitz", " Waterloo", "Gettysburg" , "Ypres" and "Verdun". Therefore, monuments and national parks may be useless for  Carl Sandburg. Human beings will just forget and go to war again. War means nothing to them; they will just  "shovel the bodies under the grass."

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Medical practices and illness in Elizabethan England

Explanation:

This book written by Ian Mortimen <u>deals with medical issues in England during the period in which Elizabeth was the queen. </u>

This was a period in which illnesses such as a flu would kill people because <u>antibiotics didn't exist and the lack of hygiene was catastrophic. </u>There were no sewers, people never made the connection between washing their hands and preventing illnesses. As a result, plagues would be very common and people would die on a daily basis.

Very few children survived, for example Shakespeare expirienced the death of his son Hamnet. People would have several children because they knew that only a couple of them would survive childhood.
