Women in Anthony Swofford´s Jarhead: a Marine´s Chronicle of the Gulf War and other Battles

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, University of Regensburg, course: Proseminar, language: English, abstract: These are the two types into which women can be classificated in the eyes of a Marine. This attitude towards women might be disguisting in the eyes of the reader of Anthony Swofford´s war novel Jarhead: a Marine´s chronicle of the Gulf War and other battles (2003) but it seems as if it is normal in the United States Marine Corps, (US MC), to which the author belonged during the first Gulf War. Having grown up in Tachikawa, Japan and having served a ordinary High-School education it is interesting to find out, where this attitude came from and if it already existed in the mind of the author.
