Chapter 29- A prisoners point of view


I just want to go home. I dont even know how i made it this far without dying. My brothers and sisters who are younger then me were "sent to take a shower", but it was no shower. I have been stripped of all my pride and dignity. I feel so horrible, and hungry, i am so hungry. You would think that will all the new technology from the war that someone would find me here. I am afraid to speak in front of a Nazi, the man working next to me yesterday didnt finish his job as quickly as the others, so i offered him some of my food. Otherwise he would have gone all day without a meal. Please help me escape from this horrible place. I just have to keep praying to live another day.

Chapter 28- A Women's point of view

My country has changed so much. The war has robbed me of my husband and son, I hope they return home alright. Here in France everyone is frantic, we just want everything to get better. I've seen a change in the economy though, and new technology. My husbands letter says he was in a trench and the conditions were terrible. Even though with the US involved now, i think we have a great chance of winning, i hope that he returns home safely.

ch 29 - view from a soldier


War has broken out, it is even more involved than the one we just finished fighting. It feels like it was just last week we finished fighting and here we are again. The rise in facism in our neighbor Germany has brought out many strong nationalistic feelings. There is a new man who has taken over named Adolf Hitler. He is very frightning and i know he is up to no good. Is our leader Churchill smart enough to realize this? I think so, he has a good head on his shoulders and knowns how to protect his country. We joined in this war after they invaded Poland and put us all in danger. The battle we are most known for is the Battle of Britain. It was mainly an arial battle and the Royla Air Force was finally put to use. This battle ensured the survival of an independent Britain and marked the first major reverse in the German war effort.

Ch 28 - View from a pesant

Things have been changing greatly in our country over the past few years. WWI is finally over and everyone is back home. The war was a brutal one and many people from our town perished. Our country did well, we joined in the war to protect our neighboring country Belgium. New advances in war came about, like poison gas, tanks, trench warfare, and submarines. These advances changed the face of war forever. Now, people around the globe are making advances in things like Psychology and physics. We have many new art styles arising and architecture styles too. I can see our country headed for a good turn.
