Interview

What valuable lesson did you learn from fighting in such a demanding war?

ummm i would have to say i learned never to give up and keep going because if there is a will there is a way, and to stay strong.

Did fighting in the war change how you lived your life after you returned home?

Yes, i mean the people back home treated you way differently but personally i think "what doesnt kill you makes you stronger" but also, i was diagnosed with PDSD so the flashbacks of war are scary and hard to deal with

If you could change one thing that happened in the war would you? why?

i wouldnt change anything because we won the war, im still alive, and i got to go back to my family. what else could i possibly change? hahaha

What was the hardest part about fighting in the war?

The hardest part of fighting in the war would have to be knowing that i may not be alive by the end of the day, and not being to tell my family goodbye one last time.

Knowing that you may not come home what did you do to prepare yourself to be sent to war?

To prepair myself to go to war the first thing i did was obviously be trained, then after that and know what i was going to be doing in the war I went straight home and spent as much time as i could with my family because it was be hard for them to live if they and i did not get to say goodbye

"My life is such a wreck
I finally realize
I got battle scars, battle scars, battle scars
I got battle scars, battle scars, battle scars
I left behind my moral ties, they're gone before you know
I got battle scars, battle scars

All my friends can see right through
This confidence that I pretend is real
I'm happier this way I think
But I cant remember how I really feel" (Battle scars by: Bayside)

There are many currant events to chose from but i feel the one that sticks out the most is the case against casey anthony. the song i chose i feel relates to casey because her life is a wreck and i think she had alot of time in jail to realize the she is. the consequences following what she did should be life in jail and i think that all that time will make her realize that she has battle scars or just scars in general meaning there is a constant reminder of what she did. Also i think this song can relate to the vietnam war because isnt it obvious, they were at battle and have wounds from fighting and also mental scars such as PDSD. kinda weird to relate both of those events but i think it can relate in a way because they have to live with what they did there whole life.

Technologic advances in past and present wars in media

The war in Vietnam and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were differ in many ways, not just the location of the wars but the technology we used to cover the stories in the news. The technology that is used in the modern day war such as in Iraq and Afghanistan has developed and has become far more advanced, faster, efficient, and easier to use. for example if a catastrophic event happens in the war, the news can produce a live feed to the united states thus notifying us in literally seconds. Back in the Vietnam war it took time and work such as taking a captivating photo and then writing an article of what happened, then they would have to mail it over to the news crew to have it published in the news paper. furthermore the war was not covered everyday as it could be today. It is clear that both wars were different in the way they were covered by the media. It all leads back to how technology has advanced and what else it has come to.

Survey

W: 20 HS 19 College

AA: 10 HS 5 College

H: 16 HS 9 College

A: 3 HS 2 College

most of the time, when doing this survey most of the kids I asked they’re parents graduated from high school and went to college. The parents that didn’t go to college were for economic reasons or situations that didn’t let them go to college. I believe that it’s hard to do something when you have hard circumstances on the way of your goals, but for the most part most parents did end up going to college, witch in my eyes it seems like their kids will too.

i am poem

I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I wonder how it would feel to be a white student
I hear them talking about my skin color
I see the other eight trembling in fear along with me
I want to be accepted
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine

I pretend that what they say doesn't effect me
I feel the segregation between our races
I need support from my fellow race
I worry that school will never be safe
I cry only when i am in the protection of my own home
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine

I understand the past
I believe it should change
I dream we will one day be harmonious
I try to ignore the hatred
I hope they will soon accept me
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine

Malcom X vs MLK

Both martin luther king and Malcolm x used extremely effective technics to move people or pursued the the people to change there opinions on things such as the civil rights movement. they both use different strategies to show how passionate they are about what they were talking to millions of people about. if they had no clue what they were talking about or people not listening to them, they would not have had such a huge impact on the United States. the winner of who is better can not be determined because they both did the same thing, made people change they way they thought of things and were both extremely well public speakers.
