At this point Editha considered their relationship more than. She did not see how your woman could always love a man who did not love his country as much as she do. When George left, that was that for Editha. She determined that if perhaps he cannot believe just how she performed then this individual did not should have her. The lady sat down and composed him a letter and gathered everything he had at any time given her and put them all in a field. In the letter, she informed him that she could not be with a guy who was not loyal to his region first of all.

After considering it over, Editha decided that she was jumping the gun which since George said he would think about what your woman had said, that she’d give him to be able to think her way, which in turn she considered the only approach.
George sought out to a bar that night and had a few lots of drinks with his friends. After a few drinks he started to be a little more devoted and subscribed to the conflict and even prompted his friends to do precisely the same. His friends even nicknamed him Captain because of his leadership in encouraging those to sign up.
George showed up past due that night for Edithas home to tell her that he signed up for the war. Editha was very excited yet tried not to show that. She would not want him to think that she was the one who pushed him in signing up. Editha just paid attention to him and encouraged him and informed him that he do the right point.
George asked Editha to accomplish one thing if he was getting ready to leave which was to care for his mom if anything should happen to him. This individual told her that his mother would not be happy with him for signing up for the war yet that this individual wanted to make certain she was taken care of in the event that he passes away in the warfare.

Editha passed George the letter that she wrote him before before the girl had learned that the experienced signed up. Editha told him if he ever doubted his decision to sign up he should just browse the letter that she wrote him and he would know that he had carried out the right thing. He acquired on the teach, waived good bye and that was your last time she noticed him.
The first skirmish that his battalion was involved in went back a lot of causalities. George was one of the men on the list that was killed. Editha looked and looked at checklist hoping that there might be one other Gearson, but everything harmonized.
Just like the lady promised, Editha got up out of sick and distraught foundation and traveled to check on Georges mother. Edithas father provided to go with her and they journeyed from New York to Grand rapids to Georges funeral.
Georges mother blamed Editha for almost everything. The notice that Editha had offered George experienced made their way back to the states and into the hands of Georges mother.

The girl remarks it turned out cruel of the woman to treat Editha that way after Editha got up out of her unwell bed to go all that way to comfort her. Until this point Editha had been frustrated about what Georges mother experienced said to her and maybe was even asking yourself whether any one of it was the case. The comments this woman said built her feel a lot better and she went back to her old do it yourself, with no embarrassment in what your woman had said or completed cause the death of George.
This history is about human being emotions while using war emerging heavily in the back. Editha wants George to attend war, although not really because she feels it is his civic obligation as the girl implies. Editha wants George to go to warfare because your woman thinks he should show himself with her. Editha wants George to venture to war for the completing her notion of him. She gets that the girl deserves the very best and that a war hero would be a good conversation part to have meal parties.
Editha truly does things and says things in a round about method so that George can not notify she is truly doing it. States things which can be implied although not said simply. This way the lady gets her point across but does not appear to be she is simply pushing him off to war.
Human beings rely upon other people to give these people a sense goal. Sometimes you need other people to perform or declare things to generate one feel as if we have been with this earth to get a reason. In Edithas case, she required George to prove to her his sense of goal and to convince her that he had a reason to be about this earth. Editha felt like George needed to prove to her that he earned her. If perhaps he could not prove to her that he deserved her then she would just eliminate him. This writer will not think there may have been appreciate in this romantic relationship on the part of Editha. How could you put such conditions on like. How could a single send anyone they appreciate of to war simply to complete their particular idea of that person.
This kind of story was tragic because a man shed his lifestyle trying to confirm his take pleasure in for a woman who genuinely only wished him around as a showpiece. Editha would not realize what love actually is and what is saddest of most is poor George died for it.
