In an award winning fictitious novel, Julie Asuka explores the lives of some Japanese immigrants living in the Southern part of America during the Second World War. In about four months following the Pearl Habour, Japanese Americans received instructions through signs all over the streets of the Unites States of America, to report to incarceration camps during the war period.1The writer describes this situation as a form of alienation and oppression through the use of one family. This family’s nightmare is explored from various points of view which ultimately lead to an experience that alters their lives forever . This order led to the splitting of the family, from when the mother receives an evacuation letter, followed by the long train journey experience of the daughter, the son living in the desert military camp, the return home of the family members, as well as the release and homecoming of their father from a bitter four year captivity. The novel tells of a forgotten ancient American wartime episode from history.

I have always been interested in the Vietnam War and the results of “the longest war in America.” Therefore, I have decided to examine the social attitudes toward Vietnam veterans. Since I feel so passionately about the way that Vietnam veterans are viewed, the purpose of my paper is to inform others about the way that the veterans have been criticized and misrepresented. Personally, I hope to gain a further understanding of the attitudes and views towards Vietnam veterans, especially since my father is a veteran. After reading my paper, I hope that my audience will walk away with more respect and reverence for those that fought in the Vietnam War and gave their lives for their country. My

Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Germany, viewed the Games as an opportunity to flaunt the supremacy of Germany and the Aryan race (The Nazi Olympics), and to degrade the so-called “inferior races”, specifically Jewish and black athletes (Unsung sprinters’ dreams). This caused many to call for a boycott of the Olympics for the first time. Their efforts were unsuccessful, but it established an example that would be followed numerous times in the years to come (The Nazi Olympics). In the end, Jesse Owens -- an African American track star -- stole the show from Hitler, running and leaping his way to four gold medals, while also setting three world records (Jesse OWENS). Hitler’s Germany did win the most medals in the Games by a wide margin (Berlin 1936), but that was little consolation as the media’s focus was mostly on how his Aryan runners were overmatched compared to the rapid

Week six I wrote about a Syrian Refugee who fulfilled her Olympic swimming dream. Buddha once said; “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” This quote is very relatable to Yusra Mardini’s life. She lived the typical life of any teenager in Syria. She was the middle child with two sisters, lived with her parents, and attended gymnastics and swimming. Her life was as ordinary as anyone's - until conflict came, leading to suffering and death as Syria broke into a civil war. The years passed as Ysura watched her country get torn apart. The family had to move out of their house as it had become embarked in flames. The bombs kept coming, seeming endless as they tore apart buildings one after another, including the building of the swimming pool Ysura trained in. Yusra could no longer practice her beloved sport - swimming. Four and a half years since the start of the civil war in Syria, Yusra and others finally left. After a month of traveling, they had survived the 1,000-mile journey to Germany. Four weeks of training in Germany had passed and Yusra’s coach, Sven Spannerkrebs, made plans for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
