World War II Write Around Station

 

The perspective of these two propaganda are very different. First of all, the first picture is written by the Japanese about happiness and freedom once they win the war. The different flags represent everyone is happy and the nationalities are all united. The white birds above their heads symbolise peace, just like in our writing unit. On the other hand, the second picture is about the Japanese being vicious, evil individuals who want to kill you. As you can see, the Japanese’s gun is always pointing at you whichever angle you are at.

The Daily Life of a Civilian in World War II

By Daniel, Owen and Aiden

It is clear the wars in Europe during world war II were a huge part of civilian’s live’s. Walking down the street, an individual would encounter propaganda, news, and even people that work for the army. War is integrated to even more unexpected text like recipes for example ‘Cooking after the Blitz’.                                                      London and Nazi Germany were at war in WW2, and both countries were convincing the citizen of that country to fight for their country with propaganda - such as "You want freedom? Fight!", and other silly advertisements. Although the advertisements were quite unneeded, since families were convinced long before that, and fully believed to protect their country. This belief spread throughout the generations and soon most of London was helping to fight.

Hitler talked with Mussolini about this new world and started to make the decision to attack Norway, so Germany was winning the war right there.

Dialogue

1a."I would like to go to the beach this weekend," she told him as they left the apartment. 
1b. "I don't want any stupid cakes," says the guy who goes to Europe and the Middle east. "Where's the champagne?" he says and asks.
1c."That is," Wesley said "that neither you nor me is her boy."
1d."Have you read 'Hills', like 'White Elephants' yet?" he asked her.
_________________________________________________________________                                         "I wish I lived near the ocean" Ellen whined "I would love it here."
  
   "Are you going to his house for the new year?" he questioned.
   "New year? Its only October!" Mrs.Johanson lied.
  
    "Well," Mrs. Johanson started "she is a Jew." Her brother glared at her. 
  "Are you trying to get me killed?" he scolded. 

Freidrich

       

 The book Friedrich, by Hans Peter Richter, is a classic book about the Holocaust. The perspective is first person, the narrater is a Christian who's best friend and his family are Jews. A real point in history is when in 1941 the Jewish citizens of Germany had to wear stars. Another real event was in the second world war in 1942 the Germans were bombed by hundreds of bombers. The Schneiders are expected to be scared around the the nazis, for they are being tormented everyday.  

Book Club

            So far in our book club book, Tuck everlasting by Natalie Babbit, I have learnt a number of things about the characters. The man in the yellow suit is clearly a nuanced character because he acts like a nice old man infront pf the world, but with the Tucks he is equivalent to a criminal. I wonder what relation the man has with the Tucks. I infer that the Tucks did something him in a way. Since the Tucks are good people, I am guessing if they did something it was an accident. It is clear that the man in the yellow suit bought the wood to have possession of the spring water. He will probably sell it and make a fortune. The author communicates powerful symbolism. The man in the yellow suit told the policeman that the Tucks were criminals, so when the policeman looked at the direction of the Tucks there was darkness. The man in the yellow suit is making the Tucks look like not only bad people but criminals. In the future I have to pay attention to the man in the yellow suit.
