WWIII

In my life time I believe there will be another world war but not to the same extent as WWI and WWII. WWI and WWII was based around the concept of trench warfare and blitzkrieg and was over land and the choice of economic systems. If there was to be another war I would guess that it would either be about religion or the fight for natural resources such as oil and water. The major players in the war in my opinion would be countries with a European based system as well as china as it is the growing super power agaisnt largely Asian and african countries. Most likely though I belive it will be US and Europe agaisnt the middle east to try and stop fighting there for water or agasint them to lower prices in the shippment of oil to America. So I believe if there was another WWIII it would be fought in Middle eastern soil and as technology is far more developed these days would likely consist of less men used in the battle but rather more developed technology which could be run by computers or sadly possibly the use of bombs. I think it would likely devastate the Middle eastern economy which then in turn would effect the world economy with the diamond and oil production ceasing.

Anne Frank's Diary

In The New York Times the writer Anna Quindlen asked, “Would our understanding of the Holocaust be quite the same if Anne Frank had not taken a small plaid diary into hiding with her?” I do not believe children's education would be as detailed of the hollacust if it wasn't for Anne Frank's diary. I believe this as the diary adds emotion to the hollacust making it more than a number but rather representing the numbers of people and there life who had died and there injustice and story. I also believe that Anne Frank's diary is a constant record of what happened and educates people so they will know not to allow history to repeat it self again. This is why I belive Anne Frank's diary adds depth to the hollacust.

WWII Letters

123 Little Lane

Maryland, Berlin 11234

September 3, 1939

Dear Abbie,

We marched into Poland two weeks ago flanks and flanks of frightened men with one purpose to conquer the Polish. We had been prepped before we left and given our food rations a scare amount not enough to feed a bird let alone a grown man. We attacked from three fronts East Prussia in the North, Germany in the west and Slovakia in the south. We had double the tanks and planes then they did but they held out longer than we thought. Causing many causality on both sides. For my life I pray that they are through.

We did not only conquer the polish but destroyed them to a pulp. The sky the day of the attack was orange full of smoke and flame as if God was enraged by our actions. The roaring of planes overhead were a constant drone and the firing of a cannon or rifle were as repetitive as a blink of an eye. Many polish tried to escape but they were slaughtered with all routes of escape being destroyed instantly. We are now in full control of all there transportation systems and what other buildings that are still holding strong. The men found this a joyous victory but it curdled my heart.

The men are now different with a fiery glare in their eyes for revenge they are more like animals these days’ then fellow soldiers. I have no one to declare my feelings to so this letter explains how I feel. This war is not justified we are going to far. If this letter is intercepted before it reaches you my dear I could be executed but I must tell you this if there is a chance I may never see you again. Hitler's ambitious are not possible and the Aryan race will never be achieved the Jews are people just like me and you but still out of fear I am here fighting for a cause I do not believe in. Next time you hail Hitler remember the injustice.

My dear I do not want to worry you but the British and French are making a comeback they have declared war on us. I may never see you again but I want you to tell our daughter that I loved her very much and that I love you very much hold strong my dear we will meet again in heaven.

Your loving husband forever

Abelard L. Pukall

P.S I am so sorry to hear our dear friend Melinda and her husband Lucas’s house was raided and they have been sent to a concentration camp as they were hiding Jews. All this news saddens me deeply.

Recipe Poem for World War II

Melt a failure of the treaty of Versailles,
In a bowl of fascism,
Knead in the powerless League of Nations,
And add a pinch of Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin,
Spread Europe with a thick layer of an appeasement,
And blend slowly,
Until brimming with German aggression,
Garnish with a declaration of war,
And sprinkle with a pinch of Japanese aggression,
Bake until golden to have WWII.

Critique of Animal Farm.

I believe the movie was a compact version of the book with simpliar dialogue but wtih the same story line. Both the film and the book in my opinion where adeguate but wether you read the book or watched the film was depending on the depth you wanted to view the story. With the book going into more depth while the movie more skimmed the surface. I thought the cartoon effect in the film took away from it in some senses as it made it more difficult for a viewer to make a comparison between animal farm and the russian revolution. It also made the story feel more like a cute animal cartoon then the cruelty of the russian revolution. Though the graphics of the movie in several occasions allowed you to feel more emotion as well as the fear and misunderstanding of the animals which wasn't seen in the book an example being when Boxer was being taken to the knackers.

The movie did miss out several major points or important details which added to the book. An example being when old major spoke to the animals he taught them the song "Beasts of England" which added to the excitment of the meeting while in the movie the animals already knew the song and the meeting was rather dull in comparison. An another example being when the seven commandments were written which in the book was strongly emphasised and before the battle of the cowshed while in the movie it was after the battle and it wasn't a large occasion. Thirdly the hoisting of the animal farm flag which had been a green table cloth in the story and was the first symbol of the united animals was in the movie a yellow shirt of one of the attackers from the battel of the cowshed. Forthly Benjamin throughout the book was portrayed as far more cynical character and was not boxers companion. This leads to my point of several characters not being included including Clover and Mollie. Lastly in the book the animals did not unite to over through Napolean but rather realized for the first time how life was no better than when they had been dictated by Mr Jones while in the movie the animals united and overthrowed Napolean to a sweet little ending.

Animal Farm - Identify

To begin with I believe I most closely identify with Snowball the pig because I like to take control of situations and voice my opinion. I also like to go by the rules as well as creating the rules as Snowball played a major role in creating the seven commandments seen on page 17. I am also motivated and like to prove to people I can complete a challenge " Now, comrades" cried Snowball " "to the hay field! Lets make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do" seen on page 18. I also am a problem solver like Snowball seen on page 18 when he problem solves along with the other pigs how to milk the cow. In conclusion I feel I most closely relate to snowball because of his leadership, motivation and problem solving skills.
