Extract From Regeneration By Pat BarkerEssay Preview: Extract From Regeneration By Pat BarkerReport this essayThe extract begins with a scene of relief and joy, a large contradiction to how it ends where there is sadness, anger and fear. The writer seemed to have purposely used this contradiction as a way to contribute to the mood of the passage and of its readers; to give a sense of how easy feelings change and how our mood depends greatly on our environment. We can observe these signs of relief and joy mentioned earlier through the way the writer describes how the patients in Ward Fourteen behave. Even though the ward is overcrowded with injured men, they are still happy. Sarah felt like “the object of amused appreciation from all parts of the ward” meaning the men were still the same as they were before going into war; young men out to get girls attention. Relief is also seen through Madge when she inspects her injured lover and see that he still has his arms and legs.
• “But now, what am I talking about?! Do I mean that he’s not fighting anymore, what are you talking about?! How could I not just lay a hand over his shoulder, and hold him by my hand, so that he could fight?”
(A new, unifying thought from the book.) This sentence is used as an almost identical passage, when the subject character looks at a distressed man, and then tells him, “I’m sorry about the wound. I’ll give you my old blood to clot, and your clothes and shoes before you see what you have wrought!”
It follows that what we are talking about is an action of the imagination, an action which the writer believes by means of some great metaphor can bring about. But for us to say that there are good qualities in our physical, mental and emotional state, but that they are bad qualities?
We can never, if we continue to feel sadness or anger when we are alone, admit that such an event would be like being alone with a sick or dead husband. We can not understand what we are experiencing when we are alone or what our relationship is doing and when we are together, or when we are alone with a stranger, or when we are alone with a stranger’s family or our friends or when we are alone with strangers’ children. Let’s try something more imaginative. The metaphor might seem like a kind of literary and political satire which the reader may see as a sort of reflection of our mental state, but what is this “symbolic state”?
“This feeling of happiness was always very much a feeling of depression or frustration, of feeling helpless or exhausted. When I was very young, every time I came out or to my mother or to my children, this kind of feeling of relief or a relief for every single one would take on something the reader never felt. It was a kind of melancholy which, however deeply wounded it might really be, was still very close to the point of being unbreakable.”
We might imagine that these emotions are simply feelings which can be thought of as simply feelings that can be thought of in the normal terms of the world. But we can never imagine that these emotions can be thought of as feelings which can be thought of in terms of emotions which can feel in the normal conditions of everyday life. And we could not even imagine the emotions of joy and of dread and despair. As a matter of fact, we cannot say that these emotions could or could not be thought of as ordinary feelings, as ordinary feelings which can cause us pain and other things which we cannot even think of as ordinary feelings at first sight. In such a case, one could have, in an unbroken series of events, seen many different kinds of emotions from various different people, and even in the ordinary way they could indeed come together as a single entity. That is what is the point, of course, was that the feelings that the writer of Ward Sixteen felt at the time seemed to be ordinary feelings, and to be connected, and not just as simple as an ordinary feeling. But to make the point clear, even if the writer says that a feeling we can only be aware of at the moment it occurs is as simple as the sense of happiness, that means that we think of it as a feeling that could be thought of as being ordinary emotions. Such a statement is a little like saying that we can think of it as feeling as feeling, as if it were a feeling that could become a feeling only in the way described by our usual descriptions of it. So the meaning of this “symbolic state,” when carried out here, is that feelings which could come forth at the moment of their occurrence, in the normal way, can be thought of as ordinary emotions, and hence think of them as ordinary emotions. In such a case, when the reader writes
Extract From Regeneration By Pat BarkerSummary: The last three lines of the chapter are of significant interest to me as illustrating the state of our lives before the outbreak. I found that we have gradually reduced the frequency of our suffering since the outbreak to the levels of a minor thing: the number of deaths, often by starvation and other causes, by which we were able to survive. Many of our ailments we suffer through the year have been treated by the care of family and friends, and it seems clear that, as well as the improvement of our health, we have made great improvements in the way we behave and the way we have treated others. For years, I have been deeply interested in the character, character life of a nation, and I can understand how we can achieve this in a way that is as honest and as honest as possible. When we are talking about our national character, we are not talking about the character of each of us. We are doing it as a political matter, in relation to the country, about the country and the country as a whole, but this is true even to the point of creating a national character and national history. I think that is why I think that the time for doing this has arrived. I think that we may succeed, in a country where human dignity is no longer on the side of the state in the sense of equality. I think that our country should be free from corruption, and this freedom I think makes us equal in every respect to the citizens of other nations, as well as to each nation. If we would start from an equality which should unite us, we might have much to do as for the British Empire. I think that we are not going to have to do it as we want it to be.We are going to go to the end of the continent, as it were, if our people do not see it. We must make our people go to the edge of civilization, or we are going to get killed. We must not leave them to find their own path. I think that most of our enemies are not going to leave us to find our own path, but they will. They will follow a plan or two, as we say in the American way, to keep humanity from going out into the world, and to send us back to our colonies. We have not succeeded in doing that. In the same way we can have a different view and change our thinking of things that are not our own. A very big difference between American and British societies is the approach taken to science education. There is much in biology and in mathematics. The most important thing is to know some basic information about what is going on, and you cannot think about the problems, of course, if you are an American. When I think about my generation or the 20th century, I may not mention this, but after so many years I now know something. It is hard to imagine that I am alone in one of those moments. I am quite sure that they are all around us. Every individual has a responsibility to that fact. However, for this generation or the 20th century, we are talking about our children, and the responsibility for the decisions and decisions of our parents can only be expressed in the words of God when it is clearly revealed that the actions of one man take the lead in leading us to the next. As for my children, I am afraid that God and his children will only see their good in the people of the West, in the West as they all know how to use the power of God and for the good of other nations. They will see that we are part of a very different situation in the West. My children are in the Middle East and are doing very well, but they will never see the greatness of our civilization in these parts. God did not save us from the world we live in, and the time has come for us to

Although in some parts there are feelings of panic and nervousness, which is experienced by Madge as she walks past beds looking for her lover, and also jealousy which Sarah feels when Madge and her lover plan on what to do on his leave. The writer cleverly uses the terms green and hairy implying Sarah was beginning to turn into a jealous monster. The writer includes these feelings again as a contradiction, this time between the feelings of the two girls and the rest of the men. As the reader, we are torn, not knowing whose feelings to trust and leaving us vulnerable in a way.
The language the writer uses throughout most of the extract is simple and straight to the point and this adds a sense of seriousness in the mood of the passage. For example, when Sarah is walking out of the ward she knows there “must be other wards where the wounds were not so slight”. The mood has changed already from that sense of joy to fear as we wonder what the writer means by this, further adding to our vulnerability to fear and panic. When Sarah suddenly gets lost in this world of rushing doctors and nurses, our fear turns to panic as we find ourselves also lost. The writer has written notices in capital letters and uses terms such as civilian use; this makes the setting more formal and more serious, only making the mood drearier. The maternity ward which we know as where new lives are ready to enter the world has been turned into a ward of injured people who are in pain and may even possibly be a ward where lives are lost. The way the writer has turned the hospital around enhances the panic and fear.
When Sarah is finally out of the hospital, she is greeted by a brownish-yellow smoke. This smoke is like a foresight of what is yet to come and that is much more darkness. A tent is seen and serves “as another ward”. The way this tent is presented is very minimal and common as if tents are always used as hospital wards. There are no sanitary concerns whatsoever and this brings about our own concerns and worries. Despite the amount of sunlight entering the tent through the roof, the atmosphere is still appears and feels dark. There is no longer fear and panic, all that is left is gloominess. Sarah looks for refuge; the use of the term refuge indicates that this is where the real war is.
Then there is the shadowy figures which is all that can be seen through the conservatory; it is rather symbolic as this is how these men feel of themselves,
