The word "enlist" appears in literature both in its literal sense of joining military or organized groups and in a metaphorical sense of summoning effort, support, or commitment. In some works, such as Alcott’s narrative ([1], [2]) and Kipling’s depiction of military service ([3]), it directly denotes recruitment into armed forces or other formal organizations. In other texts, authors extend its meaning to embody the act of marshaling various forms of assistance or inner qualities—Dewey speaks of enlisting persistent effort ([4]), while Aristotle and Nietzsche discuss rallying the will or passions ([5], [6]). Additionally, Montgomery's multiple references ([7], [8], [9], [10], [11]) illustrate varied emotional responses to the call to enlist, underscoring themes of duty, hesitancy, and sacrifice. This array of uses reveals how "enlist" not only conveys the practical step of joining a cause, but also symbolizes the broader human endeavor to commit oneself to a significant undertaking.
