What facts about the Influenza outbreak did you learn from the text and what context for those facts does the text offer? In the text, I learned that in the war, more people;e died from this Spanish Influenza pandemic than actual warfare, and while it hit the armies, it hit the citizens even harder. The context offered numbers in which to compare the pandemic with:  "Most American soldiers escaped the horrors of sustained trench warfare. Still, during the brief period of U.S. participation, over 50,000 servicemen died in action; another 63,000 died from disease, mainly the devastating influenza pandemic  that began early in 1918 and, over the next two years, killed 50 million people worldwide. The nation’s military deaths, though substantial, were only a tenth as many as the 500,000 American civilians who died of this terrible epidemic..." A snippet from "The Bemidji daily pioneer" published in 1919 in an attempt to calm people of the reoccurence t...

Corrections and changes made to my paper While looking over and checking the work of my paper, I noticed that while I worded things as I found them from the book, the answer sheet was worded far more casually... This brought me to start thinking about how I was answering and if it was a useful method...  By reading the part of the book passage that answers the question, and then forming my own words for how to answer the question, I am already storing some of the information in my memory and proving I understand the question. So, while I did technically have all the correct answers, I went back and reworded them all to be much more casual and my own words.  Political Cartoon The Monroe Doctrineidea that "Western hemisphere was off-limits to Europeans" in response to the efforts by the European nations to colonize the lands in North or South America. These efforts were seen as acts of aggression requiring US intervention, as in histor...

Analyzing a Cartoon (My ideas) When I think about analyzing a cartoon, while some people might think it is a joke, it is an actual thing done, especially in historic components. I remember going over it several times in both English classes and World History class. We used to go over key points that one should keep an eye out for in the task. - Keep an eye out for the bigger concepts: usually, there is a lot of symbolism in there - Don't focus on the big picture all the time, take a moment to break it down, every piece has a meaning - Look for labels, exaggerations, color, styles, what the image portrays things as - What is being expressed? - Is there a hidden meaning or is it all out in the open? - Is it comparing to something? - Is it based on facts or bias? - What do you get the feeling of from this cartoon? Analyzing a Cartoon (Research/Official Guide) (I used a snipping tool) Comparison: Compared to the guide, I think...

After reading the bill, I think the most surprising idea to me was the fact that lynching before the bill was technically legal. I know it was illegal to assault another or even to murder them even a little back then, but to learn that lynching was not counted int he same way? Unbelievable.  My mind began to wander a little on specific dates, though the idea was still very interesting that the trail of the bill's happening extended to more recent times of 2017. I would have thought the problem would have been taken care of long before that. I'm curious as to why a federal  law is necessary, murder is already a crime in every state. KILLING someone anywhere is a crime, why does it matter what anything of race or what the act is supposedly called having anything to do with the horrible act? In all honesty, I don't see the act as anything but wrong, unless someone has an utter atrocity there is no reason to hurt other people based on something as flimsy and ...

Group I 1. I would characterize the broadcasts as a group of recruiting ads for the navy meant to draw numbers of people to them. All three ads have a large eye-catching font, but they all seem to avoid the use of actual propaganda as if asking people to come work for them to get the money rather than to choose a side. One has a picture to give an elegant sort of touch to it, the other is advertising the pay and promising money, with the first one seeming to be more for informing of the simple need and what needs to be done. 2. Assumptions of the one who created this ad are thinking that men who need money, looking for jobs, out and about in the community are ripe choosings. They would also be extending their reach to parents of children who are of age and able, perhaps either worried about their unemployment of money. I can tell in the information given through the broadcasts in promoting money and the big job. I would think the Navy would find the bill about avoiding the consc...

"USS  Connecticut  (BB-18), leading the Atlantic Fleet to Sea, circa December 1907, probably at the start of the cruise around the world." The Great White Fleet The Great White Fleet was a fleet, group of battleships, that was 16 boats strong, with nearly 14,000 sailors on the ships and companion vessels. Their main role after being sent off by Theodore Roosevelt was to showcase American Naval power. In a way, it was a watery run-way walk meant to show America was no longer weak when it came to Naval power... The fleet sailed around the world starting December 16, 1907, and finished their strut on February 22, 1909. The reason behind being called the Great Whtie Fleet because those battleships were painted white rather than grey. The fleet began it's sailing from Hampton Roads, Virginia, and traveled to Trinidad, British West Indies, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, and made port back in the United States at San Francisco. All through the journey some of the ship...
