Connection Across Time
We can't really make a connection across time with this chapter, because it is our time. This section shows the world struggles of the 21st century and it really is depressing. We have genocides, global warming, low population, and a new nation on the rise. The world is in a slump right now. People can help change that but some choose not to. We need to get involved.
Genocide in Darfur
The genocide in Darfur was one of the topics that was presented during our presentations on the struggles of the world today. This is by far in my mind the biggest strougle. When discussing ths topic I begin to feel bad inside because I believe that no one is doing anything to stop this. It will start to escalate to bigger numbers soon. We need people to step in and try to make a difference.
Meeting of the Minds
During our meeting of the minds activity, I will be personifying Karl Marx. Marx is a tough guy to be, because all he really did was come up with Communism. I have answered most of the questions to the best of my ability and hopefully it'll turn out great and my grade is good.

Connection Across Time(World War 2)
World War 2 is similar to World War 1. But during WWII we saw a few new war tactics. The huge one is the Atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was first used by the U.S. on Japan and now today many nations have nuclear weapons. WWII also shaped the way that today's society looks. In Europe there's a lot more nations and we now have the U.N., that helps solve conflicts between nations without using violent force.
Scratch One Betty
This painting is titled Scratch One Betty, by Marc Stewart. It shows how dog fights played a huge part in the battles of WWII.
WWII
"Welcome Home," was done by Jack Levine. It is the first painting Jack Levine created after serving 3 1/2 years in the Army during World War II. It's in the exhibition "Painting in the United States," 48 works from the 1940s, at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art.
