Will there be a WWIII?

I believe there there could be a World War III in my life time. This is because I think there are still some bad feelings between all the countries that were colonized and the European countries and America. Also I think that Irag and Iran are annoyed at England and America for what they have done over the last eight years. So I think because there are so many countries that do not like the European countries and America I think they will eventually get together and try and take revenge on them.
So if there is going to be a World War III in my life time I think this will be the cause. But the war will only start if the countries that don't like Europe or America get all there problems sorted out. If there is a war there will be many African countries on one side and a few Asian countries on one side. On the other side will be a lot of European countries and America. The outcome would depend on when they start the war. If they start the war too soon they will lose.

WW2 letter

The Army congress of London

Dear Paul,

 

            I am in London where we have eneded our fight against the Germans. This was a hard fought war where many died especially in this particular battle. This battle has been called the Battle of Britain. We have won this battle well and have destroyed many of the German Aircrafts. This battle has been appropriately called ‘the battle of Britain since it was based in Britain. We have lost great numbers in this fight and we shall try and do much to avenge their deaths. In this fight it was lots of airfights and airplanes. The Germans were dropping bombs on London until we surrendered and we were trying to stop them from dropping any more bombs. We managed to win by a bit because we got a good bit of help from the Polish. Had the Polish not helped us in the air fight we would definitely have lost.  A man that gave strength to all soldiers or people related in fighting in the war is Winston Churchill. Without him I don’t think Britain would have got through. Although we have limited food and the weather and general conditions are bad I have managed to survive. The German Airforce were trying to get us to surrender and that was all the could do and we were just holding on. So please stay safe and don’t do anything stupid.

 

Sincerely , your father Tom

Reflection on discussion

Anne Frank wrote: “I don’t believe the war (World War II) is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago!” (May 3, 1944.)The Nazis needed Dutch collaborators to carry out their fascist decrees. What would have influenced someone to become a collaborator? What factors would have encouraged someone to join the resistance? Do you think these factors were based on personal characteristics or political beliefs? How should accountability for wars be assigned? So many say they never understood what was happening. How likely could that have been?


I am reflecting on discussion number 4. I think that to convince someone to become a collaborator all you would have to do is threaten them with something or to offer them something in return. You would probably join the resistance for two reasons. Probably if the Nazi party directly affected you be hurting someone in your family or by hurting a close friend. Or you would join the resistance if you thought that what the Nazi party was doing was morally wrong. I think both these factors are personal characteristics because you would only do something if it was affecting you. I think that responsibility for the war should be put on Germany because they elected Hitler and therefore they could have stopped everything before it got started. I believe that although a lot of people said they did not know what was going on I believe a lot of them did. They just didn't act up against it because they were afraid of what would happen to them.

How to start a war

Start with a lot of Facism
add an annoyed country
put in some nationalism
and swirl it around

A touch of invasions
A pinch of Blitzkrieg
A handful of revenge
Then Bang!
You have got a war

Film review on Animal Farm

I believe that the book on Animal Farm was very good and the film did a poor job displaying the book. The book was good and all the film had to do was follow the book and it would be a good film but there were some big differences.  

First of all they were missing some characters such as, Clover and Mollie which meant that because these two characters were absent some events that happened in the book did not happen in the film. Also the farmers Frederic and Pilkington are not in the movie so the dispute over the selling of the wood did not happen in the film. And the final thing that was different was the song 'Beasts of England'. In the book there is specific words to the song. But in the movie it is just a rhythm and I think that was wrong.

which animal in animal farm do you relate to

I think I most relate to Benjamin in Animal Farm. This is because I can normally see when something is wrong. This is like Benjamin in Animal Farm. Another Example of how I am like Benjamin is that I am sour-tempered and cynical. These are two of the three things that are used to describe Benjamin at the beginning of the book. And one of the final reasons that I am like Benjamin is that when I see something is wrong I cannot do anything stop it from going wrong.
