This book takes place in Denmark, but the characters in this book are British and Americans, at that time the British were at war with the Axis powers and the U.S was trying to avoid the war but eventually joined it. This book doesn't take place in war territories. One of the events of the book that are similar to real-life historical events is the part where Brett and Aaron set the bombs on the U-505, the bombs were supposed to distract the Germans and with the distraction, Brett and Aaron would get the enigma codes and escape, but even though the mission turned out to be a failure, Brett and Aaron left enough damage to the U-505 to not participate in the war. The U-505 was built for service by the Germans during World War two.
And this event relates to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not the cities targeted to nuke, but even though it didn't hit its target, the Japanese empire surrendered and we gained victory.

The conflict I chose is war in Afghanistan, and the historical event i'm reading about is world war 2, both of these conflicts are kinda similar because it involved a lot of countries and today's conflict also involves different countries and different groups. And also the goal of these conflicts was/is to take down a group or a specific person (in world war 2 the person was Adolf Hitler, and in the war in Afghanistan the person was Osama Bin Laden. My book is about world war 2 but it specifically talks about the British finding a German U-505 submarine off the coast of Denmark and in the submarine there's invaluable code books that are keys to decipher the enemy's communication, and in order to do that Lieutenant Aaron Donovan must team up with a British commander to sneak aboard the enemy's submarine and get off alive. So it kinda relates to world war 2 because during world war 2 the Allies were trying to stop the war.
I am the kind of person who can care about others, i'm a little shy around people i don't hang out with or with people i don't know, sometimes i can be stubborn, petty, and annoying. Also i'm loyal not just to my family, but to my friends.

Homeless people deserve the same right as any other american citizen, the things we as students can do, is if one of us sees a homeless person we could give them money, food, lend them our help or we could spread the word out " homeless persons have rights too" you never know if that person has had a rough life in his past, and unfortunately ended up like this.

-We could step up for them, or to avoid any other problems we could tell any grown up. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s, arrived in search of religious freedom. From the 17th to 19th centuries, hundreds of thousands of African slaves came to America against their will. The first significant federal legislation restricting immigration was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Individual states regulated immigration prior to the 1892 opening of Ellis Island, the country’s first federal immigration station. New laws in 1965 ended the quota system that favored European immigrants.
They didn't know the language, they faced discrimination, and they were giving low paying jobs.Although the United States was founded with the help and inspiration of people and ideas from various countries, some U.S. citizens have voiced suspicions of foreigners and immigrants at various times throughout its history. In 1798, a period of diplomatic tension with France culminated in the passage of a series of laws known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. Where immigration was concerned, the bill extended the period of residency required for ci ti z e n s hi p from five to fourteen years. It also allowed the president (John Adams at the time) to deport any “alien” considered to be “dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States.” By 1800, the sentiment behind the acts had diminished, but would revive decades later as German and Irish immigrants came to the United States in larger numbers. German and Irish immigrants left their homes for a variety of reasons, ranging from famine to political repression. However, some native-born Americans resented these new arrivals. In 1849, some organized into an anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant political group famously called the “Know-Nothings,” which derived its name from the secrecy of its members. |
