Dear Bobby,
You know how I do enjoy reading the letters you send me. It brings me so many emotions thought, happiness, sadness, loneliness. No need to worry about me, the neighbors do at times taunt me about how you're not coming home, but I just simply brush them away. Nice to hear that you made some friends over there, you were so anti social back here, haha.
On a serious note, those men need to grow up and put you as one of the airmen. They should know better that they're fighting against others, not each other. About the training, that's great to hear! You're a hard worker and I know you'll finish with no disappointing looks on you. Try your best and never give up, no matter what the men say. You're fighting for the country, not for there respect.
How right you are, about slavery. But give it time, and it should blow over. Though I still have a feeling that racism will stick around for a loong time, but not be as bad as it is today.
You know I don't like it when you talk about "not coming home"...it worries me as well, especially when I hear it from you. War is a dangerous game, but I know you can pull it through, people will see you as a hero, even if they don't say it or make you feel like one. You don't need an award or a hand shake from the president to win me over. You already have me and you'll always be a hero in my eyes no matter what. I'll see you when you come home. WHEN you come. I love you too, and always will.

Love,
Darla

I really don't think WWII has effected my family. At least as far as I know. My grandma is the oldest person in my house and she barely remembers her childhood. I know she must have been in the TGD being born in the 30's but she can't remember if he family went through any difficulties.

The cartoon was made in 1942 by Walt Disney. The point of this cartoon was to get kids excited to join the army. At the beginning of the cartoon, Donald is convinced to join the army by the posters and images he spots that are near the building. The images that catches his eyes are the one with the females that are all over the guys in the army. He feels that he can be the guy with all the girls so he decides to join the army.

This cartoon wants young boys and men to join the army. At the beginning, Donald sees posters of girls, hoping he'll be able to get with them if he was in the army. The cartoon wants young men to think the same way "Army=tons of chicks"


Unsure of who made this and when but this propaganda was more directed to the Christians because of the bible. Americans what's to branch out and try to get more people angry and more to join the war, so they decided to use more direct "attacks". This showing a Nazi stabbing a bible could rage a Christian, who would want to fight for what he believed in.

I didn't think that America would use more direct attack to get more to join and get more to see who's actually the "enemy" is in the war.
In this poster, it shows America's allies are needed in the war to help defeat the "enemies". It shows the flags of the allies on canons shooting at the sky.

1. What stands out to you most in this interview?

What stood out to me was how before the interview, the interviewer wrote about 4 paragraphs of the past interviews that KV has gotten and has taken some of what KV has said in the past and put it in the intro of the interview. Reduce.Reuse.Recycle


2. What experiences led Vonnegut to write Slaughterhouse Five?

The interviewer asked KV a question about how he felt about firebombing of Dresden. KV responded with he made a book about it.


3. Prior to reading Slaughterhouse Five, what would you like to ask KV?

Maybe how many redos did it take him till he finally decided that SH5 was complete. I know in one part of the book, he mentioned he was unsure is SH5 would be complete because he keeps rejecting most of the ideas he obtains.

Starting with my grandma, since she was born in the 30's that's when the Great Depression was around, making jobs very impossible to obtain. It's still hard to get a job nowadays, but not as bad as it was in the 30's. Then again, I'm not so sure. From my view, it looks like today isn't as bad as the past, but what about the ones who are homeless? I know that they have a different say about how today would be related to the 30's.

"My experience at the teacher's lounge. I want to talk about how some of the teachers were negative and bitter about their jobs"-Livy

I think that this would be a good thing to write about. It will include a lot of dialogue and possibly her thought about what the teachers are saying? Of course to be safe than sorry not to mention any names perhaps? Anyways, I'll be interested in reading the 'conversations' these teachers have been having .

"A guide to help workers/interns manage time and tips to remain on task. information of how to keep a calender set up the right way."-Shoshannah

Something new, I don't think I seen something like that. I like the idea about help out interns. Since this book might be traveling around the world or to other HTH village that might decided that they want to do internship as well. Or even the 10th grades that might be worried when the time comes, they'll be able to read on her article on want they should do to make a good impression on their mentors.

"-Bicycles and Biplanes
My interview, focusing on my mentor's journey to success supplemented with factual evidence based on the size of design companies, and college experience compared to business success."-Adam

This sounds good as well. Instead of him writing about his experience at the place, he's going to write about his mentor's experience was like. His/her's past, journey, success, and failure There could be possible questions and dialogue include and even what Adam thought of his mentor's past at first glance. This story can possibly give struggling people hope that they would soon be able to be successful as long as they try.

1) I'm thinking about doing one on a cat's/dog's POV. As how they feel once they come into the hospital. Scared, worried, whatever.

2) Maybe focus on one of the tools only. Shots, cytology dye, tubes. I'm looking for one of the tool and as I'm looking for it, I'm explaining why it's needed.

3) Focus on one of the rooms. Surgery, x-ray, back cages. Like what I explained on my second idea, except with rooms
