Writing coursework can be quite the challenge, especially when the topic is as specific as "Journey's

End Coursework Titles." It requires a deep understanding of the play, careful analysis, and the ability
to articulate your thoughts effectively. The pressure of deadlines and the desire for perfection can add
to the difficulty.

While it's important to face academic challenges head-on, seeking help when needed is a smart
move. ⇒ HelpWriting.net ⇔ could be a valuable resource for those who find themselves grappling
with their coursework. Professional assistance can provide clarity, guidance, and sometimes even a
fresh perspective. Just remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. So, if the

There is a tense start to Act three Scene one with the men awaiting the start of the raid. Stanhope
gets sick of this very quickly and hurts Raleigh’s pride by treating him like a child. Empty reply does

resource, well presented. This also supports retention on skills needed for GCSEs. This in time, after
the war is over, would destroy Stanhope, leaving him as nothing more than a shell of what he used
to be. He doesn’t care for anyone and an example of this is when Stanhope and Hibbert are having
an argument about if he should go down sick. During this scene, Hibbert repeatedly tries to run
away from Stanhope, but Stanhope threatens to. Raleigh exposed a secret of Stanhope's as he had
never mentioned such an important detail of his life. The second point that he makes is that he is glad
that Osborne has come because Hardy has had enough. He also tries to wriggle himself out of the
war by telling Stanhope he has neuralgia, however the author never actually states whether Hibbert
has neuralgia or not. Even in a child's book, the words from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland touch
Osborne emotionally, whereas Trotter cannot “see the point”, because he is from a lower-class
background, Sherriff has kept the stereotype with the officers literacy, this would keep the audiences
stereotypical views are still slightly alive. He does this for a good reason because he needs all the
help for the attack and also cares about the welfare of his men. The stage image can also be hugely
ironic as it was Raleigh's decision to be in the war but by doing so he has killed himself, angering the
audience as he is so young. Although as Stanhope grieves the noises off increase as they mirror the
increasing tension and impending death of Stanhope as it leads to a more dramatic and moving
ending. Where’s the map?” With this, the two men go over the various details that Osborne needs to
know about the dugout before Hardy can leave (he has, after all, just finished his own six-day shift).
Indeed, a sense of anticipation builds during periods in which “nothing happens for hours on
end”—a kind of anticipation to which the soldiers no doubt must be accustomed. The main use of
the directions is to reveal the humans as rather than just soldiers, for example a policeman shows
authority rather than a person; whereas Sherriff portrays them as individuals. This tells us that
Stanhope knows that he drinks and admits he is an alcoholic but says it is a good thing to drink
because you can forget what happens in the trenches and all the killing that you have seen happening
all around you. It results in Hibbert hitting Stanhope trying to get out and go to the doctors. Another
important factor is that Stanhope is in love with Raleigh’s sister and is worried that when Raleigh
sees him in the state he is at the moment, that he will write to his sister and tell her. From the start
you can tell that he is a very enthusiastic boy who is very eager to get involved and fight the war for
his country. Originally, the plan was to cross no-mans land, capture German soldiers and bring them
back for questioning that night, although Stanhope thought that during the day would be a better
time because the Germans would not expect the attack then. He is one the verge of a breakdown and
welcomes drink open armed; this is his way of dealing with the war. The first is where he says
“Don’t have too much water, it’s rather strong today”. Hibbert claims to have neuralgia, but Stanhope
is reluctant to believe him. Our Teacher Edition on Journey’s End makes teaching easy. This may

what might happen soon. Sherriff uses this to show the audience the effects of propaganda as
Raleigh wants to be known as a hero, but he’s killing himself by doing so. The next point is that
Stanhope always needs everything to be perfect, an example of this is when Stanhope is talking to
the Colonel, he tries to get Raleigh out of the raid by making an excuse, but when the colonel
suggests they send men from another company Stanhope quickly says “Oh, lord, no. Others, such as
Trotter and Osborne seem less fazed, and rather laid back. This is because when Raleigh is talking to
Osborne about “Dennis”, he says “Oh I know old Dennis’s temper. As we get further into the play,
Raleigh realises that Stanhope is not quite as courageous as he first thought. However, this could
mean that he has a very boring life, missing out on important things, both good and bad. Thinking
about the smells and lack of space, it isn’t hard to question why Stanhope is angry at the state of the
trenches at the beginning of the play. This tells us a lot about the characters as they obviously think
about their home lives and loved ones often, but are rarely found talking about them as it will remind
them of what or who they may never see again. After Stanhope and the Colonel leave Osborne starts
to calm Raleigh's nerves as he is very nervous about going over the top. Write a review Update

Stanhope is that he drinks to forget, so in the end he doesn’t remember all the suffering that went on
that day, which to him is a good thing. He has obviously had a really hard time and feels he cannot
take it anymore. The next point is that Stanhope always needs everything to be perfect, an example
of this is when Stanhope is talking to the Colonel, he tries to get Raleigh out of the raid by making
an excuse, but when the colonel suggests they send men from another company Stanhope quickly
says “Oh, lord, no. As Hibbert continues insisting that he goes home, Stanhope gets infuriated and
eventually threatens to shoot him. As we do not meet Hibbert until later on in the play we cannot
really judge how much he has changed because of the war. Stanhope is ashamed of his drunkenness
but still does not manage to stop leaving Raleigh disappointed. This is showing his love for his
children and a lack of decent effort put into the real war. Empty reply does not make any sense for

get to know in quite a lot of depth the personalities and relationships that the men have with one
another. This ultimately foreshadows the feeling of futility and repetition that bothers the men
throughout the play, as they constantly wait for something to happen and then, after something
actually does happen, they simply start waiting again. I think this makes Stanhope feel guilty as he
realises that Raleigh had no intentions of telling his sister about his trouble with alcohol. These
trenches were filled with rats and diseases such as trench foot were common. Osborne is a strong,
caring, powerful figure and provides something steady for the audience to relate to. However,
Stanhope still doesn’t believe the fact that anyone other than himself can understand his troubles,
and half the time even he doesn’t understand what is going on inside his head. Before long, Stanhope
settles into a drunken sleep, and Osborne calls Mason and tells him to wake him (Osborne) and
Hibbert at certain intervals throughout the night so they can stand watch. By the end of the play, we
see that most conflict has been resolved, alongside the deaths of many key characters. He also says
the meals are very 'school canteen' and as it is under Stanhope’s discipline, the dugout is probably as
clean and tidy as a the school and the officers and soldiers are run like a school, with ironically a
school master among them, and their class is reflected in the education they were given at school and
the rank they were given within the Battalion. Osborne again tries changing the subject so they can
try and forget about this raid they are about to do on the Bosche, Osborne talks about where he lives
to change the subject, which is another example of Osborne trying to pass time and not think about
what might happen soon.
Not only is Stanhope Raleigh’s superior, but he’s also a rugged alcoholic, and Osborne wisely intuits
that this isn’t who Stanhope used to be when he was a rugby captain in high school. However, it is
all the more tragic as it’s too late now as Raleigh is dead. They then have a conversation about what
they do back home. Where’s the map?” With this, the two men go over the various details that

resource. What’s more, the earwig’s pointless and repetitive efforts align with Mason’s unsuccessful
attempt to become innovative with the ration meat. This shows us that Hibbert is the sort of person
who doesn’t care about anyone but himself; he is selfish and most likely was spoilt when he was
younger. It is a very good thing for an officer to be able to do as it shows he will work well as a
team with people that he does not know well and he does not look down on people of lower rank
than him-self like Raleigh. By this I mean that Stanhope appears not to care about his past friendship
with Raleigh, and instead rejects him and casts him aside, showing that war changes people, and
changes their friendships with one another. However, Osborne sticks up for him and tells Hardy that
he is by far the “best company commander we’ve got” This is obviously true, or most people agree
because Hardy, who seems not to like him very much, agrees with him. The audience would be very
interested now to find out the final thoughts of all the officers. Osborne explains to Raleigh about
Stanhope’s drinking problems so that it does not shock him. This has a huge effect on most of the
officers, Raleigh mostly, but the other officers have champagne and good food. At the beginning of
the play Hibbert is not really well known as he is quiet and not very sociable. This is why Hibbert
acted so dramatically when he tried to leave. This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To ensure

between the characters, and the heavy toll which war takes on them. However, whenever Stanhope is
in a conversation, the mood seems to change as the men try not to say anything out of place. Our
Teacher Edition on Journey’s End makes teaching easy. Indeed, the circumstances of their previous
relationship are quite clearly much different than they will be here. Osborne is shown to be a calm
man who was not obviously affected by the horrors of war unlike the others. Hardy is a very easy
going officer who looks on the bright side of life, “ One and two its with Maud and Lou;” he passes
his time in the trenches singing nonsense rhymes and being a rather, “cheerful red- faced looking
chap.”He does this to make the most of the situation that he is in, and from my impression he tries
not to bother about the trivial facts that would just, in his mind, be an unwanted nuisance. They then
talk about how a bomb landed on the men’s dugout whilst they were having some tea. The humour
is used to break the tension between the characters at awkward moments in the play and through
Mason it is used to keep up the morale of himself and his fellow men in the dugout. The other
noticeable way in which Stanhope deals with the stress is through companionship in which he shares
a strong bond with Osborne, the senior officer, second to Stanhope. Empty reply does not make any

show a major reaction to the stress. He doesn’t care for anyone and an example of this is when
Stanhope and Hibbert are having an argument about if he should go down sick. Sheriff has shown us
that some people in that position try to block out and forget what happened so they don’t go crazy

shows he will work well as a team with people that he does not know well and he does not look
down on people of lower rank than him-self like Raleigh. Stanhope feels that he needs to drink or he
couldn’t cope with the war. He says. Sherriff uses his character to show the audience how young
men were tricked into joining the war by propaganda. It could also be seen in a religious perspective
as it could represent another baptism for Raleigh as it prepares him for his next life. Sheriff has
created a character who thinks it is alright to drink and encourages it, he has just had a big argument
with Hibbert and starts pouring a drink of whisky “Go on. Drink it. Another example for this is when
the raid has taken place and was successful, but as a result Osborne died. Raleigh revealed much
about him that Stanhope was not content with the other officers knowing. It is Monday, March 18th,
1918, and Captain Hardy is drying his wet sock over a candle flame. Many men died because of the
trenches and the diseases ridden in the dirty over flowing waters. This is because they are afraid and
do not want to get killed. The first thing Stanhope does is ask if Hardy left without cleaning the
trenches. At the very least, this might help them feel as if they have a modicum of control over their
lives, which is something they otherwise lack completely, since they can’t actually influence what
happens or when it happens. We know this because Raleigh’s stage directions read: “stammering”,
“nervously”, “embarrassed” and “astonished”. And all these months he’s wanted to be with me out
here. Although he not intend it to be an anti war play, the ending has made people perceive
otherwise. This may be because Stanhope does not want the others to know that he cares so much
about something, as he wants to keep an image as a tough person or possibly he does not want to be
reminded every second of every day of the thing which he loves most but may not see again. He
asks lots of questions; about the beds, where the stores are and he asks for the logbook. This takes
Raleigh's mind off the raid and gets him to think about home and the happiness of the surroundings
keeping him relaxed and ready for the tough challenge ahead of him. However, this could mean that
he has a very boring life, missing out on important things, both good and bad. Track progress,

stage directions remain the same, whereas Hibbert is told to raise his voice, and beg and plead to go.
Osborne may seem to be the stereotypical upper-class officer, but he shows signs of being
unconvinced about the war and its aim. I believe it is not an anti-war play because Osborne and
Stanhope hare the same values, “It’s a slimy think to go home.”, because we admire these two
characters in particular, and they carry on with the war, this cannot be an anti-war play; although
there are some anti-war messages. Hardy is a very easy going officer who looks on the bright side of
life, “ One and two its with Maud and Lou;” he passes his time in the trenches singing nonsense
rhymes and being a rather, “cheerful red- faced looking chap.”He does this to make the most of the
situation that he is in, and from my impression he tries not to bother about the trivial facts that would
just, in his mind, be an unwanted nuisance. Stanhope is still in his early twenties but taking on the
role of a much older more experienced officer. Our customer service team will review your report

Rachel's Shop 3.67 4 reviews Not the right resource. By making Raleigh seem nervous, and shy
towards Stanhope, Sherriff creates great stage tension between these two officers, and also creates
feelings of animosity towards Stanhope, because Stanhope has not even allowed Raleigh and his
friendship to rekindle; but this is mainly due to his fear of losing more friends to the war. He also
starts to censor Raleigh’s letters to his sister because he is convinced that Raleigh will tell her that
Stanhope is just a drunkard and is really nasty to him.

were looking for. When Hardy starts to complain about Stanhope and calling him a drunkard,
Osborne immediately jumps on the side of Stanhope and says that he is not a drunkard but just needs
a few drinks to settle his nerves. He was severely wounded at Passchendaele near Ypres in 1917.
Sherriff makes an effort in this scene to present Stanhope as an unstable character. Throughout the
play we discover the things which keep the officers going during the war and comedy seems to be
the thing which Mason uses. Osborne again tries changing the subject so they can try and forget
about this raid they are about to do on the Bosche, Osborne talks about where he lives to change the
subject, which is another example of Osborne trying to pass time and not think about what might
happen soon. It’s clear that Raleigh expected war to be a constant barrage of noise and violence and
chaos. I remember once when we were at school he caught some chaps in a study with a bottle of
whisky. He’s up in those trenches now—still wondering—and beginning to understand. Throughout
the play, all the men pause while speaking, and slowly move around the ill-lit dugout. This focus on
the time becomes even more evident when Osborne and Hardy talk about how the trenches have
been calm and quiet. During the short time that Raleigh is there, I think he grows up a lot. Osborne
then makes a remark that shows that he is trying to hide the fear and pain “I know there’s nothing
worse than dirt in your tea”. He is desperate to go home but he finally admits to Stanhope that he is
just scared. This personality trait of his is most evident in the “letter scene”, where Raleigh asks
about mailing letters home, and Stanhope grows suspicious that the letter contains incriminating
evidence of his drinking, therefore he replies that “You leave it open. ” He goes on to explain that all
letters must be censored, but in fact he is only abusing his power to get what he wants; it was normal
for Officers’ letters to not even be glanced at. Clever stage directions, dialogue and characterisation
help the playwright to achieve this. They were friends at school and Raleigh has liked him ever since
then. When Raleigh doesn’t eat with the men, Stanhope questions him about it and gets angry when
Raleigh saying he is distressed about the death of Osborne. Due to Osborne being a public school
master, he has a more intellectual knowledge of words and their meanings than the working-class
men and officer Trotter. I hope this resource is of use for you, and if so please leave a review - I
would very much appreciate it. This, Osborne tells him, is simply the nature of war—it is a cycle of
inaction and action. Raleigh wanted Stanhope to continue with his job and not worry about him.
When Osborne presses him, though, he admits that the so-called “cutlets” are really just “ordinary
ration meat” that he made in a new shape. Osborne thinks that the area where he was was not as bad
but Hardy tells him the truth that it was very dangerous which Osborne would probably worry about.
I have taken on new ideas on wider reading and included an opportunity for pupils to read a WW1
war poem to help support greater understanding and depth in the subject. At the beginning of the
play Hibbert is not really well known as he is quiet and not very sociable. He served as a captain in
the 9th East Surrey Regiment in World War I, fighting at Vimy and Loos. He was wounded in the
battle of Passchendale in 1917 so knows what it is like being in the army in the middle of a war. The
second point that he makes is that he is glad that Osborne has come because Hardy has had enough.
Sheriff has created a character who thinks it is alright to drink and encourages it, he has just had a
big argument with Hibbert and starts pouring a drink of whisky “Go on. Drink it. Another example

Indeed, they’ve been waiting for this attack for quite some time, and even though it seems as if
they’re edging closer to the actual event, they still are locked in a holding pattern of tension, one in

Hibbert hitting Stanhope trying to get out and go to the doctors. They were friends at school and
Raleigh has liked him ever since then. The audience receives this information when Osborne is in
conversation with Raleigh, they together agreed on how pointless the war actually was. Indeed, a
sense of anticipation builds during periods in which “nothing happens for hours on end”—a kind of
anticipation to which the soldiers no doubt must be accustomed. If Stanhope dislikes himself so
much, it’s easy to see why he might resent Raleigh for admiring him. Osborne then makes a remark
that shows that he is trying to hide the fear and pain “I know there’s nothing worse than dirt in your

ones often, but are rarely found talking about them as it will remind them of what or who they may
never see again. He is of course being paranoid, and is only worried that Raleigh’s sister will discover
what a wreck he has become in the war. Clever stage directions, dialogue and characterisation help
the playwright to achieve this. In this essay I will be exploring these techniques, which include
powerful characters and comedy, to portray his ideas of the struggles of coping with war and the
differences between classes. He is a serious old chap but he will always do the job set to the best of
his ability “ I won’t let you down”. This gave me a good intro to a text I hadn't taught before.
Throughout the play we discover the things which keep the officers going during the war and
comedy seems to be the thing which Mason uses. It’s a frightful bit of luck.” Apparently, he knows
Stanhope from school. “I was only a kid and he was one of the big fellows,” he says, “he’s three
years older than I am.”. This makes the ending of the play more moving as the audience feel moved
by his determination. He seems to be from a lower social class than the others. See other similar

tells Osborne that he will “get it right in the neck” which I think is an awful thing to say when you
are on the verge of having a major battle which could kill you. He then introduces himself to
Raleigh, asking the boy if he feels “odd” being out in the trenches. “Yes. A bit,” Raleigh admits, and
Trotter says, “Oh, well, you’ll soon get used to it; you’ll feel you’ve been ’ere a year in about an
hour’s time.” Trotter then falls into a conversation about Mason ’s food, criticizing the soup’s lack of
pepper and poking fun at Mason’s attempt to turn the ration meat into “cutlets.”. Stanhope is also
deeply shaken by his death, but doesn’t show it as much by drinking and laughing and smoking.
I think he does this as he knows that he is not completely fulfilling his role as an officer. When
Osborne presses him, though, he admits that the so-called “cutlets” are really just “ordinary ration
meat” that he made in a new shape. However, Osborne sticks up for him and tells Hardy that he is by
far the “best company commander we’ve got” This is obviously true, or most people agree because
Hardy, who seems not to like him very much, agrees with him. However, Stanhope is shocked at
Raleigh’s arrival and does not greet him in a welcoming manner. He tells Raleigh not to take his
uniform off so that when the Germans attack, they can get to the trench quicker and do not have to
get changed first. His attitude is that others can worry about trivial things like ammunition, logs and
all the time-wasting necessities that really are essential but not in his view. Stanhope is worried that if
he gets too close to Raleigh again, then Raleigh will notice the difference in him, think that he is not
as brave as every one thought back in England or worse and that Raleigh will tell his sister and that
she will leave him. The play is set in the trenches of Saint Quentin in France, 1918 towards the end
of the war. Because of Stanhope’s paranoia, he decides to censor Raleigh’s letters. Sheriff presents
Raleigh this way is because sheriff wants to make the audience realise that Raleigh is a nice kind
young lad and has a lot of potential within the plot. This is because they are afraid and do not want
to get killed. He interprets Stanhope as a alcoholic as he copes with the stresses of the war.
Continuing with his complaints, Stanhope tells Osborne that the idea of returning from the war and
reuniting with Raleigh’s sister has become a stressor. “It was all right at first. He does this by having
Mason become fearful that Stanhope will berate him for obtaining the wrong kind of canned fruit,
thereby casting Stanhope as not only ill-tempered, but also petty and unreasonable. This is his way of
coping with the war and the pressure he feels he is under. However, he feels he can only achieve this
by lying to his comrades about his health, and pretending to have neuralgia; Raleigh doesn’t
experience the war long enough to develop a way of coping with the stress of war, and instead, he
enjoys it all. He was wounded in the battle of Passchendale in 1917 so knows what it is like being in
the army in the middle of a war. We build confidence and attainment by personalising each child’s
learning at a level that suits them. He shows a liking to Raleigh and bonds well with him. This leads
us to think that maybe he was just afraid, and that Hibbert is more courageous than if he did have
neuralgia and was staying. I remember once when we were at school he caught some chaps in a
study with a bottle of whisky. As a result of the play the audience would begin to realise the brutality
and suffering that men go through during war as it’s all just a waiting game, showing the injustice of
men being killed. The water he uses to bathe Raleigh's face can be symbolic for cleansing and
healing, something that Stanhope and Raleigh need to help mend their broken relationship. For
example on page 43 there is a powerful description of the Germans helping the English soldiers save
a wounded comrade. Due to Osborne being a public school master, he has a more intellectual
knowledge of words and their meanings than the working-class men and officer Trotter. This is a
good quality and puts him well on his way to be a fine officer, as he possesses all the qualities that
make a good officer at this early stage. This could be a useful asset to have, as he is strong and will
go into battle with enthusiasm and keep the atmosphere jolly and content. Raleigh seems to be a
persistent character, who is very enthusiastic. This mud carried with it disease, lice, rats, and trench
foot. In this essay I will be exploring these techniques, which include powerful characters and
comedy, to portray his ideas of the struggles of coping with war and the differences between classes.
