"UNITED STATES & KOREA"

American agriculture basically is family farming. A 40 percent of the land of Unites States is used to agriculture. 91% of United State farms are small farms, that mean less than 1,000 acres; and the rest, 9%, are large farming which means that they are more than 1,000 acres.

In Soviet Union, after World War II, the agriculture was bad. It dropped down. After Stalin died, the farming system changed, hoping to change the system in a better way. They usually brought the product to other countries of the world.


Comparing, the agricultural economy of United States was better than the Soviet Union.

 United States first did not want to be involved in this war. But MacArthur did want to get involved because, he was saying that we were going to make the same mistake that we did in the past with Germany.

In a way, I agree with MacArthur, because if you let the war build more and more, when you want to help probably is will be harder than it was before.

Then later United Stated got involved, because they felt that they needed to protect the weak countries.

United States and Korea had really difference ideologies, policy, and economy. They were pretty difference.

"AWFUL FACTS"

 Dr. Josef Mengele and Dr. Shiro Ishii did horrible things to innocent men and women. Both opened humans’ bodies when they were still alive. And both of them also inject chemicals in their bodies. They also opened their brains and take off their organs like, livers, stomach etc. until they died.

In fact, Germans did this kind of thing also to the Jews people.  They used their bodies to investigate with them, opening them and looking inside, like the Chinese. They also worked with twin kids. They believed that the twin kids had a connection, and if one twin died, the other twin dies too.

All these people did awful things. It is hard to choose what one could have done the worst things. But if I would have to choose one, I would say the Nazis did worst damage. Nazis do not accept another person who is not like them, such as: homosexuals, black people, gypsies, Jews etc. All things that Nazis did were universal.  They killed thousands and thousands people. Both German and Japanese.


The terrible thing is that there are humans capable do such awful things.  We should treat everyone equally, not by what they are or where they come from or what religion they are.

"Don Quixote"

I am going to talk about one of the most famous novels that a Spanish writer wrote thousands years ago Don Quijote de la Mancha
Don Quixote is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, who was a soldier, novelist, poet and Spanish dramatist. Published its first part with the title of The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha in early 1605, is the most important work of Spanish literature and one of the highlights of world literature. It is also one of the most translated. In 1615 he published his second title of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha.

Don Quixote was the first genuinely demystifying work of the chivalrous and courteous treatment by giving you burlesque tradition. Represents the first literary work that can be classified as modern novel and the first polyphonic novel, and served such as an enormous influence on all subsequent European narrative.

(This picture is in La Mancha, Spain, and the mills he thought were giants)

Following the tradition of chivalry, Don Quixote is entrusted to Dulcinea del Toboso, an imaginary woman he created. In the world of Don Quixote, nothing is what it seems. The mills are giants, sales are castles, the plebeian are princesses, and puppets are Moors. 

During these wanderings the ways of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza intersect with other characters who tell their stories. But not all are fun and funny adventures --in some, especially in the second part-- Don Quixote and Sancho Panza become targets of ridicule and deception. In the end, Don Quixote is no longer the comic and burlesque character. Overcome by disappointment, our hero regains sanity but dies.

Style and Structure:

It is divided into two volumes, chapters 52 and 74, respectively, which tell the story of a gentleman of La Mancha chivalry style. It can also be divided into three outings. The first is from the chapter 1-8, the second is the rest of the first volume, and the third occupies the entire second half.

It is narrated in first person, third person although it seems most of the novel. One of the few instances in which the narrative is perceived in the first person is the first (and famous) line of the novel: "... In a village of La Mancha, whose name I do not remember" (Part 1, Chap. 1). Dominates the dialogue, especially between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.


It is a Renaissance work by his humanism, but with (the heartbreak, the theatrical atmosphere and false appearances) baroque features. While it is a parody of books of chivalry in which dominates the dialogue, interspersed stories that come from other characters with whom Don Quixote is in his wanderings, lend themselves to the use of different narrative styles. The pastoral story, the sentimental novel, the picaresque novel and the Italian novel are examples. Also popular tradition appears in stories and sayings ("wisdom") of Sancho Panza. It also includes poetic forms, like old chivalry romances, songs and sonnets.

"The Preparedness Movement"

Archduke Francis Ferdinand has been assassinated by our ally Serbia. Also, the German Empire has taken the absolute control of Belgium and has sunk the British ship in Louisiana, killing 1,198 innocent people. Those two events are causes of a war that is coming and we have to be ready, if they attack us.

So, American government would start a movement, the preparedness movement. For this, militarism has an important role, because they are going to start preparing men to be ready to fight. They are going to teach them how to shot with guns, and how to survive in the war.

This would help us to be stronger and powerful; demonstrate to the other countries that we are ready for anything. That we are not weak.

The nationalism, devotion to one’s country, feeling that all citizens feel is very strong. Thanks of that they would be a lot of men in the military, fighting for peace, for their family, for their country.


Even now day, this still being an important thing in our country.
