I really enjoyed this art because it gave off a certain light to the beauty behind art. The hair is what really got me because it was simplified in a way that the focus wasn't on how detailed the hair was so we focused more on the figure it's self. I also enjoyed and was captivated by how there seemed to be an invisible gust of wind that caused the hair to curl and sway in an unusual way. It was interesting to find that this particular art style happened around the same time but in different parts of the country like Europe and Japan.

Semester 2 Blog 12
Dear President Obama,
I wish to address you about your American Foreign policy, in the Middle East and in North Africa. In the Middle East we attempted to use the Marshall which obviously failed not only among part of our alliance in the middle east but also among our people since the Marshall plan was never fully carried out. Many things might have been different if we had cared all the way through, like the rebellion of Osama Bin Laden. When carrying out a policy like the Marshall Plan we must see it through or face the consequences. I hope that learning from our mistakes we can better our future and prevent further mistakes from happening. I thank you for your time that you gave up to read this.
Sincerely,
A Student Of America

If you were President, how would you confront the multiple issues surrounding the Geneva Conventions that we have discussed in class over the past week?
If I was president I would make it so that parts of the convention like the topic of what to do with Guantamino Bay. I would keep it in Cuba because one it would be a waste of our good American dollars, and two the UN should decide because the problems we get are almost all international. There is also a lot of money troubles that I could fix too but I have to focus on this topic.

Dear Rachel,
How are you fairing in San Diego? Are Marcus and Abigail doing well? Have you heard any news from James? I am doing well, the new house here in Buffalo, New York is very beautiful. Matthew is a wonderful man and I can't wait for him to come back home. I have a very special surprise for him! I am expecting! I didn't find out until a week after he had left. I am currently on leave from the Red Cross. I wish I could help but the other women are such hard workers I don't worry too much. There are 17 other girls also pregnant, and some of the older women are calling it a Baby Boom. I think it's funny that they are calling these coincidental pregnancy's the Baby Boom, but I am excited about it. I am writing to you to ask for support while my husband Matthew isn't here. He probably won't be here for the birth so I want you here. About work, I was hearing that you have been working on your own victory garden when you aren't doing your paper and aluminum drives. My neighbor Stacy is also making one and she wanted to send some squash seeds over for your garden. I hope that you can come over soon I am missing my best friend more and more every day.
Sincerely,
Katie Reede

World War two Imagery
WW2 propaganda
2.This is an early war poster posted to inspire americans to keep the battle over seas instead of having it be brought to where our families were. I was one of the many that inspired out soldiers to fight.
3. I was creeped out to see this because it portrays how dangerous the war was and that they could invade and harm our children at any time.
WW2 war photography
2. This photo was taken in September of 1944, though the exact date is unknown. Parachuter's shadows are coming from the sky's as waves of paratroops land in Holland during operations by the 1st Allied Airborne Army.
3. This picture gave me chills as I saw how many people were coming down it was sort of like a dark cloud accending into the skies, sending a plauged of uneasyness and fear everywhere.
The Axis powers
2. This picture is by Herbert A. Friedman, It is a picture of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito, who represent the Axis powers.
3. This picture tells us that these people are only good for killing hense the head under Germany's foot. Their scowls and the glares we recived gives us the sense that we might just be next on the lists of these killers.
This is a little something extra. It's from a japanese show with human versions of countries, who were involved in WW1 and WW2. The show it Axis Powers Hetalia. The photo is of Japan (left), Italy(middle), and Germany(right).
