We originally chose our topic off of the Cold War standards because that is what we were currently learning in class. We decided on our specific topic (Vietnam War drafting) for two reasons. The first one was because Ellie’s Grandpa, Steve Pomerleau, was drafted into the war in 1969. We thought it would be a very interesting experience to interview him because he had a personal connection to the war and what happened. The second reason was because we knew very little about the vietnam war and wanted to know what happened and how it affected the world. We eventually narrowed down our topic to Vietnam war drafting because many people did not realize how it affected the soldiers.

Through the spiritual rebirth of the grandmother, the grandchild experiences a spiritual and personal rebirth of her own. It is the death of her grandmother which helps her mature or see the light. Evidence of the grandchild maturing is seen in the contrast between the beginning when she remarks, "I wasn?t respectful either I even went so far as to doubt the power of Abuelita?s slices" (1239) and her respectful behavior at the end. The regret she feels for the way she acted becomes apparent in the end when she is toweling her grandmother?s body. Notable evidence of the grandchild?s change in attitude is

Tomorrow, When the War Began displays to us the kinds of changes people go through when they are confronted with an improbable situation, and why those changes arise. It shows us how one situation can affect each person differently.

Looking back through American history there have been those “what if” moments. Moments where we sit there and think, what if that had never happened or if it happened at a different time? Would the world still be the same? Would American’s still have the freedom we have today? One will never know, we can only imagine what the world would have been like if a different course was taken. There are a few events in American history that I felt should have gone a little differently so I tried my best to write it all out.

American life was drastically impacted by World War II, and in this essay I will discuss how the war affected American civilian life on the home front.

the stage for the United States in succeeding years, such as the intensifying ethnicdiversity, deregulation, increasingly diverse families, the information revolution, and the growth of a “new” economy.The discussions of the POWs is very interesting. I think the argument that POWs

World War II left a deep-rooted impact on the lives of the people that were fighting on the front lines of the war and the ones serving on the home front. The relationships and perspectives of Americans changed after the war from previous believed truths to a modern idea of what life could be, or how their lives have recently transformed. Because of the distinctive oppositions experienced by those of who endured the bleak and torturous years of the war. Moreover, they now understand the circumstances from which they had bravely overcame and conquered.

The essay is written about the effects of World war II on America. This essay is connected to three different standards that were taught this year. Firstly, it goes into a great depth of detail about the U.S staying out of War at the beginning, which is also called isolationism . It explains the benefits of staying out for as long as they can. However, the U.S could no longer stay out of war forever because of its allies were in trouble and the attack of Pearl Harbor. This goes into the second standard, how the U.S was boosted as a whole because of entering the war and even by the attack of Pearl Harbor. These were explained by how african americans and women played new roles in society making the country equal in many new ways. For example, women were granted the right to vote because of how big of a role they played in the war effect.

So there are some points it what started the war, the society's purpose in the war and what the war cased to change our society, and my opinion about the isolation of america befor and after the war. I hope you can get information from this paper and find certain key points i was trying to make. We should take care of our country before dealing with another country. And i hope the key point of the war show how the U.S. will protect its country. And how the war had a big impact on society

World War II was a very important event in American history, but as bad as war is or seems to be there always seems to have better outcomes in the end. By the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and bringing America into the war it opened the eyes of all Americans to the problems not only domestically but internationally and the biggest problem that was discovered after the completion of World War II was the level of social equality around the world. It had been a problem that had plagued the world for many years but the atrocities that brought about by the war coupled with the ever growing eye of the media caused for greater concern in the light of social equality in the world.

World War II (WWII) had an immense effect on the United States; culturally, economically, and industrially. Although no battles were fought on American soil, the war affected all phases of American life. Among the infinite of changes experienced by Americans during this time, there was a big shift in the industrial complex, a re-imagining of the role of women in society, and economic boost. Social shifts began to shape a new national identity which would change the country forever.

For many people, Grandpa is a storyteller, someone to go fishing with, and someone who has your back no matter what. The experience I had with my grandpa was a little different. I never got the opportunity to meet my great-grandfather Liston Grider, but he still somehow managed to have a huge impact on my life. Sometimes my mom would tell stories about him; happy memories from her childhood, sad ones that were painful for her to tell, and everything in between. I thought I had heard it all, but this past summer I learned something about my great grandpa that would perhaps impact my life forever. This story was not told by my mom like usual, but by someone who was a complete stranger to me. The lessons I learned would not be taught in a single day, but over the span of a month through a series of Facebook messages and letters in the mail. The words I read upon opening those messages and letters would change my life forever, permanently transform my beliefs, and show me what it truly means to be an American.

One of the reason I took this class is to learn more about religions and their origins but I was specifically interested in Buddhism so I was excited that it was a religion that the class was going to cover. I had little prior knowledge of Buddhism but I didn’t know the origin, important figures and important teachings but I learned that what I thought was inaccurate. This class deepened my interest of Buddhism more because I learned what it really is about and their teaching while also correcting the ideas I had of Buddhism that were wrong.
