WWIII?

I think that there is a high chance of starting a WWIII. All countries still get into fights to attain natural resources that their countries are longing for. There are still many, and will be many, discrimination's against religion, etc. You won't be able to change the way mankind is built. We are built in a way where we want all luxury, and are going to do anything in order to get it, even if it means war. The United Nations may be keeping the wars down for now, but if it later gets out of hand then all countries will break out. There are many small wars going around in different parts of the world, which could lead to more breakouts. Also, if a country has so much power, and decides to turn its back and start a war, then all countries could be joining other countries in order to stop them.
I think the countries with the most power would want more, and they have the power to start a war. If WWIII breaks out, the net affect on where the war was would be higher in the negatvies. The wars will most likely not last as long as WWI, and WWII because new technologies are being built everyday, and armies are being properly trained, but more armies would die. If countries decide to start a war now, then I think that there will be an overall negative effect because with all the new weapons, it would be killing off lots of people. To summarize, I think there is a high chance of seeing a WWIII in our future.

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?”
My response would be if Anne Frank had not written the diary, our understanding would be quite different. We only had the basic information, and how bad the Holocaust was, but never a witness who actually experienced it. It brings us so much more information, and feelings towards how the Jews felt and lived. Anne Frank's diary had many important secrets that wouldn't have been told, if not for her. She shows us more than the broad Holocaust, but the depth of every detail. This has affected us greatly, and would make our view towards the Jews more serious. Her dairy has become very popular now, that its part of all children's education. To summarize, I think her diary does change our understanding from a wide range, towards the depth of the Holocaust, and how it affected many Jews at the time.

A letter from the Battlefront

Old Street 7454, Berlin
September 1, 1939

Dearest Elizabeth,
A couple days ago after having the shortages of food, we launched the blitzkrieg into Poland, where they were defenseless against us. We had slaughtered many men like pigs, and many others wounded. With Prussia in the east, Germany in the north, and Silesia and Slovakia in the south, our units, with more than 2000 tanks and over 1000 planes broke through Polish defenses along the border. Our plan was to form a massive encirclement attack, in order for Poland to surrender. In the first couple of days during the war, we had completely wiped out the Polish air force. The Polish had tried to escape, but were always killed, and never made it. Planes were flying around everywhere, mysteriously releasing bombs. Explosions turned the blue sky into black, releasing carbon dioxide into our lungs. A step closer to suffocating each time.

I heard the bloody cries of woman, children, and men, all whom have done nothing to harm us, and yet, we still kill them. Our high usage of aircraft and bombing played a major death role in taking over Poland. Compared to the Polish army, we had nearly double the weapons, which made Poland look powerless against us. Several days later, the Polish army had surrendered, and on that same day, Russia had met with us as partners. The wars here are extremely bloody and vicious. Even though we celebrate our victories, I believe that even as a soldier, war isn’t right. We had won the war, proudly celebrate our victories. But in my heart, I have lost. Lost the trust of the Polish, and from everyone whom I have killed. Its a huge burden for me to carry, even as a soldier.

Otherwise, we do have some bad news. After all our efforts into serving our country, and taking over Poland, Britain has declared war on us. Don’t worry about me, this is what I want, to serve my country to the last, doing good or bad. If I don’t ever see you again, my dearest Elizabeth, I want you to know I had loved you and our children more than anything. I will see you soon that I promise, but this time, in a better place, and forever.

Your Husband,
Abe Levi

P.S. Please don’t tell our children yet about what might happen to me. If I do die fighting for my country, I want you to wait for them to get old enough, they will understand then. I’m very sorry dear Elizabeth. I want you to know that if I die, I die with victory. Not the victory of our country, but the victory in my heart. If this letter does reach before the day of the war, you will know I am still alive. I love you so dearly, and please, the children shall not know. Not just yet.

Critique of Animal Farm

The film overall did an ok job with outlining the video. Although the book had given more detailed information, the movie showed the main idea of the book. I personally think that the movie could have been better. Some events weren't in the correct order, and some character's whom are important to the story weren't present. Also, the cartoon doesn't make the issue seem that serious. I think it makes it more of a cute animal movie. Some parts of it gave more feeling than others, like when boxer had died, and the animals were weeping. I would prefer the movie to the book because it does summarize the story, but if I wanted a more detailed outline of the Russian Revolution, I would pick out the book.
Some parts in the movie were incorrect, or wasn't mentioned such as there being no presence Clover, and Mollie. Also, the movie had made it seem like a happy ending. The animals from many farms united, and defeated Napoleon. The book would had given it more serious issues about the Revolution, and the animals didn't unite together. Secondly, the van that Boxer was sent to in the book had slaughter house written on it, which gave it more emotion. The movie had left it out, so people whom haven't read the book wouldn't know where Boxer was headed to. Lastly, in the book when they first kicked out Jones, they had attacked them, But in the movie just scared him off. This didn't show how much anger the animals had, compared to the book. The movie leaves out the important details, and because of that, it doesn't give much of a serious attitude towards the Animals, and the Russian Revolution.

Which Animal Are You?

I most likely represent Clover in the book Animal Farm because she is loyal to her friends. "They were unfailing at their attendance at the secret meetings in the barn, and led the singing of beasts of England, with which meetings always ended" Clover knows what is right, and she chooses on path to take, care for the farm. She doesn't give up hope. When boxer was hurt she decided to stay behind and take care of him. Although Clover knows something isn't right when Napoleon takes over, she can't quite figure out what to do. She wants to help, but she doesn't know how to. I am similar to her in many ways, I know something is wrong, but sometimes i don't have the guts to speak it out. Clover realizes that some of the commandments are I am loyal to my close friends, and would always help them when they need. To summarize, I represent Clover the most
