Thanks Asim, this is Sabei Aung reporting from Germany about some of the causes and effects of the holocaust. Adolf Hitler strongly believed that Germans were superior in many ways to every other race. Hitler’s principle, he believed all Germans should control the Europeans. Many say that Hitler had a disease of paranoia that possibly led to his actions. Anti-Semitism, one of the causes, is a prejudice to Jews religiously, racially, and ethnically. This led to six million deaths of European Jews; The German Nazi’s killed the Jews. This conflict, which lasted from 1939 -1945, also killed Romans, Soviets, Prisoners of war, priests, and Gays. Many of the Jews were also taken to into Extermination camps, also known as slaughter camps. Concentration camps, and forced labor camps were also created. CNN news, back to you Asim.

Thanks Lucas, Now let’s relate the holocaust to some of the conflicts we have learnt in M1. Clearly, Racism is one of the main topics of conflicts. The German Nazi’s were racist to everyone that was not superior to them. Another one is Nationalism, for believing that the Germans were more superior to the Germans. Religion is also another important topic because they wanted to wipe out all the Jews because they believed that they were useless. Thank you, and take it away Lucas.

CLOVER

The character i am most like from the Animal Farm, is Clover. One reason I think i am most like Clover because there is in the book, she seems like someone caring to her friends. In the book, when Mollie goes to the other farm to get her nose stroked, sugar, and ribbons by the farmer, she constantly denies the fact. I like to know the truth from the start. Clover goes to Mollie's farm to find a bit of sugar and ribbons hidden under a pile of hay(pg.30). Another reason was when boxer got sick, and split his hoof, Clover was the one that gave medicines to Boxer. I'm usually the one that take cares of my family members when their sick, like clover is to Boxer. One more reason i think i am like Clover is because when clover found out about Mollie hiding lumps of sugar under the hay, she did not mention that to anyone else. I don't tell other people things that they don't need to know, or facts that could just cause more problems, than there are.

Burma military service

My country is Burma, and it allows voluntary military service, and i think thats good for the country because it gives choice to the country. Everyone is equal and everyone should be given a choice of whether they want to be part of the military or not. It is true that military service helps the country but if some one doesn't want to --- they shouldn't have to. Its good of Burma to make military service, voluntary.

The King is dead!!

The past week in M.1 has defiantly been harder than usual. So now everyone cheers, because the king is dead. There were many similarities between the way King Coyle handled things in M1 and the way the 13 colonies were ruled. The first similarity was that both were ruled…and they were both ruled by kings that did not care about what everyone else wanted, but more on what he wanted. The 13 colonies were taxed for practically everything that they needed or wanted. Ex; tea, stamp act. Similarly, we were taxed for denim, braces, and even using our agenda! We were taxed for things that we should not have been taxed on and that is called injustice. King Coyle acted like a tyrant because he had power over us, and simply because he handled out grades and because he was able to hand out detention slips. King Coyle ran a tyranny. He treated us unfairly, and he took away our rights, like King George III. They were both also very capable of threatening us. Clearly, we did not like this, and we wanted to be treated much fairly, and that is self-determination. No more worries! The king is dead!!

43rd war feedback

The absolute location that the 43rd war takes place in is the El Salvador. One piece of evidence is that that Atlacatl was the last ruler of El Salvador (wikipedia), and I figured that this could be a fact because in the book, it was mentioned that there is a volcano called the Atlacatl volcano. Also, the country had very bad civil war difficulties in the nineties (wikipedia). Another reason I think that the 43rd war was based in Salvador is because the main language spoken there is Spanish, which is also the main language spoken in the 43rd war. Also, the main religion in El Salvador is Roman Catholic and in the book, they used two twigs to form a cross for the dead. It appears to be that there was a lot of guerilla conflict in the country, and in the book they mentioned that a lot. Moeri probably did not mention the name of the country because she probably wanted to add some kind of friction to the book, and also because the government might not be happy about it because it is not all accurate.

Declaration of Independence.

It is a necessity that you explain when you are going to break away. It is obvious that all men were born equal and right full rights that should be our rights. That includes life, liberty, and happiness. Governments get their powers from the people. When any part of the government start to take over in ways that aren’t approved by the people, the people have a say in changing a few things, or creating a new government. When people have the rights to alter things about the government, it is because the people feel the government is not doing what they are supposed to be doing. All our colonies have suffered because of what the government is doing and now we are going to make sure that it does not go on any longer. King George the third has damaged our colonies in many ways.

King George has damaged the colonies by keeping trade from all the rest of the world. He has taken away our seas, destroyed our coasts, burnt our towns, and shattered the lives of our people. He sent us beyond seas so we were tricked for things they made up about us. He also deprived us, in many ways, of the benefits of trial by jury. And last he has kept us away from each other, in times of peace, standing armies without our permission of our legislatures.

Each time he acted on one of those horrible things, we asked for him to stop. We ask him only when what he does hurts us. He should not be the king. He is not fit for it. The king is an oppressor. We also talked about this to the British legislature and we told them why we came in the first place. Whatever we say does not matter. No changes were made. Everyone here is saying that freedom is upon us. We, whom represent our United States of America, will make this work by working together.

J O I N, or D I E

This political cartoon by Benjamin Franklin is showing that if all the colonies don’t join as one, they will die.

Note; the ‘JOIN, or DIE.’

Each of the pieces of the snake are the eight colonies that should put together to make one. If these colonies just want to stay single, and decide not to join to each other, there might be wars against one another and other colonies from other continents. Then, these colonies would have to fight back alone unless they made allies. But if they all stay as one, America, it is much harder for any of the other colonies to attack and if they were to fight back, they would be able to fight back as a one, whole, strong army. The cartoonist, Benjamin Franklin, made this to show everyone that if they want to win whatever happens to them, they need to stay as one. Benjamin Franklin was one of the founding fathers of America, so he is the one who put all of America together, and he wanted to show the people with this cartoon. His opinion in this cartoon is that they should be strong and all join as one. The evidence for this is the slogan. It says in the slogan ‘JOIN, or DIE’ which shows that he thinks that they should all just…JOIN. Benjamin could have made this better by turning the face of the snake towards the audience so they can see the snakes’ facial expression more and show more visual effects. Having the snakes face sideways doesn’t show much about how the snake is feeling or how vicious the snake may look, if it does.
