Original story from //CNN.com//: [|Going into battle armed with a trumpet]

For one man, going into a battle gave him fear and pride. Always next to him was a trumpet he has played all his life.

This article posted on CNN was about how Captain Jack Tueller and his trumpet battled their way through World War II and beyond. This article caught my attention because of its unique title. It was interesting because it tells a story of how Capt. Tueller played his trumpet to stop an enemy sniper from firing. “He was no enemy, because music had soothed the savage beast,” says Tueller.

Tueller grew up in Wyoming, where he learned to play the trumpet. He met Louis Armstrong, the famous trumpet player, who told him he had a talent for playing the trumpet. Armstrong also told him to always continue playing music. As soon as World War II began, Tueller enlisted in the army. On every mission, he carried his trumpet in the cockpit of the plane named after his daughter Rosanne.

The point of this article is to inform the people that every person is human. By playing music to his enemy, Jack Tueller made the enemy realize who he is. This story is interesting because both topics don’t apply to each other, but was put together to show emotion. It also allows people to connect to something other than destruction and more of compassion. CNN is a reliable place to keep up to date with the world. But this article is bias because it’s a one-sided view, and doesn’t have that much detail. Also, the topics clash and don’t flow. There is no purpose to the article other than to show emotion.
