Snc's Five Paragraph Order In To Kill A Mockingbird

Decent Essays
Candidate Holcomb briefed all of the required components of his five paragraph order. SNC also addressed security during the execution of his mission. SNC did conduct a leader's recon prior to coming up with a scheme of maneuver for his plan. However, SNC took some time to come up with a plan for the mission and this was evident due to the lack of time the fire team had to execute. While briefing, SNC appeared nervous and was physically shaking during his order and much of the execution. SNC did not adapt well to the situation and did not execute in a timely manner. When his initial plan was clearly not working, he became fixated on continuing to attempt the same thing over and over and did not adjust his plan until it was too late to

    Candidate Green delivered a confident five paragraph order; however missed the Admin and Logistics portion. SNC successfully tasked each of the candidates throughout the evolution but neglected to cover the scheme of maneuver in detail causing some confusion early on with regard to negotiating the obstacle. However, during the execution phase SNC maintained a high level of confidence and despite not having a solid plan, he was able to delegate orders in a sufficient manner in order to keep his subordinate candidates continuously engaged. After being penalized several times, Candidate Green was able to maintain his composure and keep his team focused on accomplishing the mission by changing his initial plan which seemed to be working before…

    Candidate Robbins provided a shoddy brief. It was evident he was trying to show a sense of urgency however, he ended up sacrificing essential detail and rushing though paragraphs. Additionally, SNC’s delivery was choppy containing several pauses due to him flipping back and forth through his notes. SNC’s mission was roughly put together and contained two tasks with no purpose (the second task was actually supposed to be the purpose; SNC just worded it poorly and called it an additional mission) and was stated only once. SNC’s scheme of maneuver was weak at best saying the team would “On order, maneuver in a wedge and close with the enemy and destroy them through fire and maneuver.”…

    Candidate Hoyer gave in depth direction on what he wanted security to do and while briefing he had the fire team maintain 360 degrees of security. SNC forgot to brief the last two paragraphs of the fire paragraph order. Throughout the execution part of the mission SNC had security check in every 60 seconds and had every member repeat that the area was secure. SNC's initial plan was to use the shorter plank to get from the whiteboard to the bridge which worked throughout the problem. SNC didn't rely on suggestion from other fire team members and he continued to give directions to keep his fire team moving towards mission accomplishment.…

    Trying not to squirm too much in his chair, or show the governor any outward signs of his unease. Commander Brayzack took a second to organize his thoughts as to what exactly he was and wasn't going to say to the governor about experiment TN-48 and Project C.P.R.B. The A.F. and the pentagon had already ordered him to slam a lid the case. He knew the ability for Washington to play the sickness off as an abnormality of nature was a card he was sure the military wanted to keep in their hand. Brayzack stalled at first, telling the governor all about the positive work being done out on the island under C.D.C. and military supervision. How they were creating and testing new vaccines for rogue mutated forms of influenza that had been rapidly popping up globally in third world countries and China.…

    Candidate Fowler demonstrated a basic understanding of the composition of the 5-paragraph order, however fell short of briefing information based on his analysis of the problem. SNC simply regurgitated the Situation paragraph based on higher's brief, and had no executable plan within his Scheme of Maneuver and Tasks to accomplish the mission other than using the planks to get across the bridge. Despite a vague brief, SNC did manage to maintain eye contact with his fire team throughout the delivery of his brief, demonstrating an average level of confidence in briefing an order. SNC was mindful of the tactical situation and not only posted security but received frequent updates from his security element. SNC appeared to gain confidence during…

    Harper Lee, in the book, To Kill a Mockingbird (1960), argues via the closing statement of Atticus Finch against the mistreatment of black people. In his closing argument, Atticus argues that the defendant, Tom Robinson, is innocent, and should not be so quickly accused or condemned simply because of the color of his skin. Lee supports her argument by illustrating that the townspeople's beliefs about black people are obviously false. The author's purpose is to show the immorality of the oppression of black people. The author writes in a formal tone, using Atticus's diction to make an emotional appeal to Maycomb county, and America by extension, that black people are no more criminal than white; that the prejudice against them besmirches the…

    On the first day of class, I felt pretty confident about my level of skills as a writer, but little did I know there were a lot of aspects in my writing that could be improved. As time progressed and we learned more about colloquial language and little things I could change in my essays to further advance and improve my writing. Now, I feel even more confident about my writing and know that all of these little changes I can make in my writing create a better flow of ideas and a higher level of formality. I feel that throughout this semester I have been greatly challenged as a writer and have advanced the most that I ever have in writing within such a short period of time. I have put in a lot time and effort into this class in order to create…

The raping of a white woman by a black man is similar to The Scottsboro Trial in 1933, where 9 black men were falsely accused of raping two white women.…

    To Kill a Mockingbird - “Atticus said to Jem one day, “I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." This passage was a major part of the story because of the symbolism that has now been revealed. The Mockingbird is a harmless and pure hearted animal, which in this story symbolizes Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. I chose this passage because of the strong meaning behind it.…

    In the book to Kill a Mockingbird the author shows the reader what it is like to experience many events and emotions in the time. Even though there are a lot of events and emotions, I think that the novel mainly shows experiences of racism, through unfair court cases, racist comments and racist stereotypes. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, unfair court case is just one of the ways racism is portrayed throughout the novel. For example, the quote ‘"He got me round the neck, cussin' me an' sayin' dirt--I fought'n'hollered, but he had me round the neck.…
