<span>In page 33, in the Diary of Sierakowiak, there were entries like "And the railway station in Zbaszyn has been taken back from the Germans! We disperse full of joy and go to sleep" and "Long live humor; down with hysteria." And in page 21 , we find that he had a good time with his friends in a summer camp. Quotes like these show that he wanted to come out of the gloom at least for a while and cherish those in his mind .</span>
Hello. You did not quote the text to which this question refers, but I believe you are referring to James McPherson and the work he wrote called "What They Fought." However, you have not specified which part of the text the question refers to, which may leave the textual evidence inaccurate, but I hope I can help you.
In writing "What They Fought" James McPherson aimed to show the reasons that led southern and northern soldiers to maintain the American civil war, especially southern soldiers while they saw the impending defeat. He did this by analyzing letters and diaries of these soldiers who showed their thoughts without any kind of censorship or control. This objective is shown in a very clear and attractive way to the public, primarily because McPerson presents an accessible, easy and direct language text, which allows the reader to quench curiosity about the soldiers' thoughts in the face of such a great conflict.
It's difficult to see reconciliation as a viable possibility for the future... wherever the western imperialist bloc were present, strife and division magnified exponentially. regarding the fate of this country divided in 2 all attributed to political ideology and having been a proxy stage for the US and the USSR to exercise their might, the aftermath has just widened the chasm... the lifespan of the nation is long and so it is made upon cultural identity which by now, is severely separated. with each passing generation, the likelihood for union will be harder... but only time will tell.
Answer:
"ahead in your career" fits well here
