1. What does Joseph Stalin's advice to the people of Stalingrad say about him as a leader? Is he a bad leader because he doesn't care about people and he just wants to win
2. Explain why Hitler would react in the way shown after signing a Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin? Hitler stated "I've got them!" after the non-aggression pact was signed and then 3 years later Germans carpet bombed the city of Stalingard. So I think Hitler had a idea of what he was going to do before he did it.
3. Explain the significance of propaganda in this battle, using examples from the posters. The posters depict how much Hitler and Third Reich were hated. Some of the posters had pictures of swords going through giant monsters with captions such as "Kill the German Beast" or "Death to the fascist monster."
4. What do the extremes of the war reveal about what it takes to win a total war?
They have to do what it takes to win even if it includes having people in the city starving, and having to take on cannibalism. They had to bring out snipers to kill the German officers.
5. How does the story of Vasily Zaitsev relate to the war in Iraq?
I don't really think that the story relates to the Iraq war other than it is a war.
6. In times of crisis, sometimes heroic figures emerge. Which figure emerged in a similar way to Vasily after the terrorist attacks of 9/11?
In the 9/11 attacks many heroic figures emerged, such as, doctors, police men, fire men, the Army, Navy, Marines (etc.)

Exam Part 2
[his.]The Colombian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical (favoring drastic political, economic, or social reforms) way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process (the action of going forward or on) was the establishment of the Triangle Trade. While many factors were a part of the Triangle Trade, the rapid growth in both supply and demand for new commodities was the largest moivating element. This time period may be best associated (to connect or bring into relation, as thought, feeling, memory, etc) with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze (to examine critically, so as to bring out the essential elements or give the essence of) this period without considering the intense social impact that the Triangle Trade had on those involved. In truth, a full understanding can only be gained by appreciating (to be grateful or thankful for) how economic and social factors (element) One that actively contributes to an accomplishment, result, or process impact each other in history.
[mine.]The colombian exchange has changed the world understandable way than any other development in world history. One of the effects of this process was the establishment of the triangle trade which was trading between 3 different places for either food or slaves. Supply and demand which is when the supply is high the demand is low and when the demand is high the supply is low for new commodities, an article of trade or commerce was the largest thing happening around there. It can be associated with economis developments, it is impossible for examine this time period without considering the social impact that that triangle trade had in those that are involved. A full understanding can only be gained by appreciating how economic and social elemends. This is how they impact each other in history.

Once There Was a War
In this book Once There Was a War written by John Steinbeck is about the World War II in diary format. It was written in the mid 1900’s. The genre is historical fiction. A soldier tells about what is going on while he is there. The theme has to do with the soldier and the diary entries that he has written down. It explains what was going on in great details.
John Steinbeck writes all the diary entries. He would explain what was going through his head. He was too interested in the girls and looking at dirty books about them. He would then have nightmares about his family being tortured to death, which really isn’t a good thing to be thinking about while you are at war. All he can think about is his girl that is back home. He writes many diary entries so that we know exactly what is going on. I think that he does a good job explaining what is going on, so that we know what is happening.
Everyone writes about what is going on in their lives, just like John Steinbeck does in his books. We usually write them when we are little about what is going on in our lives. I wouldn’t really know what is going on while they are at war because obviously I ain’t there. So I think that it is a good idea for them to write about what is happening so that young users like us so we can tell what is happening if we ever want to go into the war. They can have a heads up for is going to be going on and what may cross there minds. I may want to go into the army so this gives me an idea what it is going to be about.
These characters in this book are very believable. I can't believe what they are talking about. My uncle was in the war and some of the things that they said in the book he has also said just differently. This was an ok book but I think that it would have been more interesting if it was a girl’s point of view not the guys. It would have brought my attention more then the guy. But other then that I could believe most everything that they were talking about. Some of the stuff was a little outrageous though.

Down at the bottom there are the people that are fighting with cannons and weapons. There are also people that are trying to put out the fire with water so that is why they smoke is so black.
All of these pictures all have to do with the
