WWIII

I don't believe that there will be a WWIII in my life time because many countries are working hard against lots of threats in the world. I also believe that their will not be a WWIII because of the United Nations, they would be a major obstacle to get by before a world war ever started. I believe that the UN could stop a world war from stopping because so many countries have joined it and they are working together. Also many countries in the world are at peace with one another with treaties together. Their are a few countries who seem to be against the world like N.Korea, Russia, and a couple others but other than that I believe the world operates quit peacefully.

Another big reason I feel that their wont be another world war is many countries are not at all ready to go into a massive war and loss catastrophic amounts of people in a war. An example is India they are going through a economic boost right now and if they were forced into a war all that progress may very well be lost. Nuclear weapons is another problem with a world war because once someone starts using a weapon that deadly the rest of the world has to think about if they want to start using weapons that if all of them are used the world will be left in ruins. And so all in all i do not believe their will be a third world war in my life time.

Anne Frank Descusion Response

Question:In her diary Anne opined: “…if you’re wondering if it’s harder for the adults here than for the children, the answer is no…Older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered…” (July 15, 1944.) Do you agree or disagree with this quote? When was the last time that you experienced the “shattering” of an ideal?

I agree strongly with Anne's thoughts and think that this is a very true point of view. I think that because many adults can easily make many decisions and stick to them without question because they are older and more mature. A kid may at times make up their mind but then go back upon that thought because of something that they saw or heard. I also believe that Anne was right because parents have the ability to make a decisions upon their strong beliefs that they have already made up in their minds. So overall i think Anne was very right and i strongly agree with her.

WWII Letter of War


Normandy US Army Camp Regiment 65
6/20/1944

Dear Family,
Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I miss you all so much and can’t wait to see you all again. Well you probably have all heard that we broke through the Nazi front about twenty days ago. I am currently still on the beach in my camp and is waiting for reinforcements before my regiment moves on. There is much celebration and joy, but rations are low and times are hard. The weather has been okay not great but not horrible. Rain is so often in this part of the world. I am currently staying in a tent with all of my regiment. It is a bit cramped but I'll survive.

I remember little Joshe's question in your last letter about what war is like and I'm going to try my best to answer it. War isn't a game as I thought it was so many years ago. People really do die. I remember when our landing craft opened its door the two front row of men just fell down dead almost immediately. Getting to the shore was even harder. The water splashed into our faces over and over again blinding our vision. When you got to land you had to find cover quickly or you where a dead man, Nazi machine guns torn through rank after rank of men before my eyes. In about thirty minutes the beach was covered in bodies. The Nazis also used heavy and light artillery to keep any big help from reaching shore. It took a while but we finally pulled through. Thank god for the 13,000 paratroopers who had landed before us behind enemy lines to weaken the Nazis. Also the planes that dropped bomb after bomb to knock out the reinforcements and supplies were a large help. I don’t really think we would have won without them.

Some good news is the Allies have broken almost all the way to Paris now and the Nazis are retreating quickly. The soviets have them cornered and are pressing hard on them so I hope I will be home soon. Also many little bands of freedom fighters have starting to fight back as well. It’s a big help. We took over a concentration camp last week and the sight was just horrible. There were humans who did not even look to be living. It felt so good to help a fellow American out of that camp. I hope to be home soon and to tell you even more but for right now I love you and wish you the best of luck.

Love,
Jonathan

WWII Recipe

1 pound of failure of the treaty of Versailles
7 gallons of hatred
10 tablespoons of fascism and military
5 cups of Hitler
2 tablespoons of regret and appeasement
3 teaspoons of the failure of the league of nations
1 cup of treaties
3 quarts of backstabbing
4 tablespoons of ignorance
1 big heap of lust for power
Bake for 6 years and you've got your World War

Bowl 1.
First put the failure of the treaty of Versailles into a mixing bowl and let it thaw from its chunk of ice for five minuets. When you come back there will be seven cups of hatred in the bowl, mix thoroughly. Then sprinkle the five cups of Hitler evenly, as if you were putting the last sprinkles on a cake, and watch the reaction. Wait until the whole bowl has turned into the color of the Hitler then add the fascism and military as quick as a cheetah runs. Add half the treaties into this bowl and then add the backstabbing 5 minuets later. Lastly put int the lust quickly and let it sit for a while about five minuets then mix with second bowl.

Bowl 2.
In another bowl put in the regret and appeasement of the western nations and then add the failure of the league of nations without a second thought.Add the last half of the treaties into this bowl. Mix in the ignorance, like two paints combined to create a new color, and let it sit till you are ready with first bowl.

Final instructions:
Mix both bowls together and then place in a mixer and mix for 10 minuets or until the mixture starts to harden like a rock and then quickly place it in a cake tin and bake for six years. By the end the six years the cake will be done and finished.

AF Movie Critique

I thought the movie was pretty good but I didn't quite get the sense that i got when i read the book. The book seemed to have things happen in a more relaxed pace while i thought the movie moved to quickly. Also the movie change parts of the book to adapt to what the movie wanted. A big thing was Mollie, in the movie their wasn't even a character for Mollie but in the book Mollie played a major part. She pretty much started the animals on thinking the new government might not be as good as they think its is.
Also when Napoleons dogs chased Snowball out of the farm in the book he was able to get away but in the movie the dogs killed him. Old major dies earlier in the movie and Moses didn't really have any impression at all. Another major difference is at the very end of the movie the animals rebelled against Napoleon and took back the farm but in the book that never happens. So overall I thought that this movie gets a thumbs up but not two.

AF Character


I feel that I am like squealer for the most part but there is a part of Boxer in me. First for squealer i am like him because we are both cunning in the way we get people to do what we want. Also we are both social in the way that we both talk to people a lot, but why we talk to people is different. And last we are both smart. The part of me that is Boxer is the working part because we both work until we feel content and wont settle for anything less. Another part is we both work for the better of the people around us and try to make life better for the people we care for.
