Mr Rowley When did you last see your father?

The two female figures in the back of the painting are both sobbing, one harder than the other. the one in the green is a relative and the one in black a maid. I believe this because the lady in green has the same hair Color as the little boy and seems more afraid about his interrogation. I believe that the lady in black is a maid because she seems older, and was likely captured with the family, especially if they were found at there home. The boys father is a commander and was away fighting when the family was captured. The interrogators are trying to find out where the father is. If they discover his location they will also know that of the army. The girl in the white dress is the boy’s sister and is in line for interrogation next. She is more nervous than the boy because she may know more about her fathers location than the boy. There is a man at the end of the table is a clerk who is taking carful note of every thing that is happening. There is one more man in black who is holding a large stack of books, probably banned literature or bibles of a different religion confiscated at the families residence. This is not a happy scene.

Paraphrase & Summarize oct 25

Browns stun Brees, saints In New Orleans, sunday David Bowens intercepted two passes and returned both for touchdowns. Partially because of Bowens two touchdowns the Bronws can now celebrate their 30-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints. People say that Bowens is the oldest man to have scored two interception touchdowns since the Dolphins hall-of-fame full back, Larry Csonka. Of Bowens two returns one was 30 yards, the other an amazing 64 yards. His ungraceful summersault into the end-zone was reminiscent of Reggie Bush’s end-zone summersault in the title game. Bowens does not typically score touchdowns, largely because he is a defensive player. His karma must be catching up with him, because several years ago Bowens helped raise 20,000 for hurricane Katrina victims. Both the victims he helped and the touchdowns he scored were in new orleans. The only other game when Saints quarter back had a four interception game was when New orleans was flattened by Tennessee. In addition to Bowens two interceptions the browns also scored off two other interceptions. One player who scored off an interception, Scott Fujita received an official game ball after the game was over. As Fujita said weeks before the game “its one thing to plan a play, it’s another to execute it” Many of the browns players are very familiar with the saints, their player line up, and their favorite plays. In contrast to Bowens impressive 64-yard touchdown another player, Payton Hillis scored an overlooked 4 yard touchdown for Cleveland's only offensive touchdown. The saints had a more effective offensive game plan, outgunning the browns two to one, however the browns had a top-notch defensive strategy. The browns scored all but one of their points Nevertheless it was a stunning victory for cleveland.

Answering the big question: NOV 15

Even though all of the civilized world was under the restrictive control of a power hungary monarchy, it was the undeniable idea of enlightenment that inspired a global revolution. T his revolution engulfed all of the leading world powers, causing a turn over of wealth, and an earthquake in the social order. The existence of undeniable human rights could not be contained  Medieval france was divided into the very rich, and the extremely poor. There was no representation of the “middle class”. Dirt poor peasants slaved without end while the wealthy end of the social order lived in lavish luxury. 5% of the population owned 95% of the land. The people of france, spain, and Portugal lived like this for centuries.  And then came the savior of enlightenment! All of the sudden there was this belief shared by all. The belief was that there are sertian, undeniable, irrefutable human rights that we were all born with. This idea was so revered that even Thomas Jefferson used phrases directly from john Locke in the declaration of independence. One such phrase is: “all men are created equal” The peasants of europe were among those who believed in enlightenment. It caused them to wonder why they were slaving away for little pay while the kings and queens did hardly any work at all.  Only 10% of the population lived on land owned by themselves of their family, the other 90% of the population was forced to work long hours to rent land owned by a king.

Updated question

Even though all of the civilized world was under the restrictive control of a power hungary monarchy, it was the undeniable idea of enlightenment that inspired a global revolution. T his revolution engulfed all of the leading world powers, causing a turn over of wealth, and an earthquake in the social order. The existence of undeniable human rights could not be contained  Medieval france was divided into the very rich, and the extremely poor. There was no representation of the “middle class”. Dirt poor peasants slaved without end while the wealthy end of the social order lived in lavish luxury. (wikispaces) 5% of the population owned 95% of the land. The people of france, spain, and Portugal lived like this for centuries.  And then came the savior of enlightenment! All of the sudden there was this belief shared by all. The belief was that there are sertian, undeniable, irrefutable human rights that we were all born with. (wikispaces) The peasants of europe were among those who believed in enlightenment. It caused them to wonder why they were slaving away for little pay while the kings and queens did hardly any work at all.  One of the revolutions that took place around this era was the american revolution. A key player In inspiring this revolt was Thomas Jefferson. He was a highly educated man and a strong enlightenment believer. Some of the phrases used in the declaration of independence were taken directly from John Locke. (created enlightenment) One of these phrases is “all men are created equal”. Because of this it maybe safe to say that the beliefs that our country was based on are those of enlightenment.  Only 10% of the population lived on land owned by themselves of their family, the other 90% of the population was forced to work long hours to rent land owned by a king. After centuries of poverty, the peasants of Europe and South America were fed up with the way the world was being run, spurred on by the idea of Enlightenment several bloody revolutions began.

Lates reasearch paper: dec 7th

Ethan Cantin Mr. Rowley Historical Research and Writing. November 29, 2010 The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki  Even though it is largely considered the single biggest loss of civilian life in modern times, the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki were necessary. It is because of the fanatical nature of the japanese and their blind loyalty to the emperor that such an extreme loss of civilian life was needed to bring about a definitive end to the war in the pacific. Never the less the bombing saved more lives of all nationalities than it destroyed, and was a successful decision by the American high command. <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> This attack, as stunning as it was, could not come as a complete surprise for all of the world’s powers. After all, for the past 5 years of the war nearly all of the nations involved had been attempting to produce such a device. All of the brightest minds in the Reich were kept busy creating Germany’s atomic weaponry. Germany also had many “heavy water” plants located in occupied Norway producing uranium as fast as it could. Uranium as it happens is the most critical ingredient for an atomic explosion. Because of this there was as much of an atomic threat to us, as there was to Japan. It was only by chance that it was the United Sates that developed the first nuclear bomb. <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Hiroshima was only the beginning of a half century spent under the threat of a nuclear war, for in the years following the end of the war all of the world powers possessed nuclear weapons. Because of the damage done at Hiroshima, every one was very nervous about using a nuclear weapon, now fully knowing the consequences of doing so. Many have argued that the alternatives to using the atomic bomb were more ethical, and that the using the bomb was simply unthinkable. The one plausible alternative was an invasion of the Japanese homeland. Few of the generals involved in the invasion supported it. After 5 years of fighting the Japanese if anything was learned it was that they would fight suicidal, to the last man, for every inch of the sacred homeland. The invasion of Okinawa, the second of the “home islands” to fall, cost the U.S. 49,151 lives. Conventional thinking favored the invasion, however President Roosevelt had faith that the “Manhattan project” would pay off by saving American lives, and bringing about a quick victory.

All of the brightest minds in the Reich were kept busy creating Germany’s atomic weaponry. Germany also had many “heavy water” plants located in occupied Norway producing uranium as fast as it could. Uranium as it happens is the most critical ingredient for an atomic explosion. Because of this there was as much of an atomic threat to us, as there was to Japan. Germany was not alone in this race. The United States alone had invested over 500,000 scientists and millions of pounds of materials in a program known as the Manhattan project. Even so it was only by chance that it was the United Sates that developed the first nuclear bomb. Hiroshima was only the beginning of a half century spent under the threat of a nuclear war, for in the years following the end of the war all of the world powers possessed nuclear weapons. This 60 year stalemate was known as the “cold war”. It was a world wide weapons race with the development of new, and more powerful nuclear weapons at it’s head. Because of the rise of this new breed of weapon a new doctrine was formed. It was known as “brinksmanship”. Brinksmanship is when a nation is on the brink of total war, and is willing to do whatever is necessary for that nation’s continued existence. This doctrine is only practical when coupled with an arsenal of nuclear weapons, and without them is little more than a series of threats. Many small countries with limited recourses, such as North Korea and Cuba use nuclear weapons as bargaining chips, threatening to use them should there country be invaded. Fortunately, because of the damage done at Hiroshima The world now knew what would happen if it came to a nuclear war. And it is probably because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that there have been no nuclear weapons used since. Many have argued that the alternatives to using the atomic bomb were more ethical, and that the using the bomb was simply unthinkable. The one plausible alternative was an invasion of the Japanese homeland. Few of the generals involved in the invasion supported it. After 5 years of fighting the Japanese if anything was learned it was that they would fight suicidal, to the last man, for every inch of the sacred homeland. The invasion of Okinawa, the second of the “home islands” to fall, cost the U.S. 49,151 lives. Okinawa was only Japan’s doormat, how many causalities would we have had if we had invaded japan? The extreme loss of life was and would not be limited to the United states. In the suicidal defense of Okinawa 110,000 Japanese solders died of battle, or suicide Had we invaded japan not only would hundreds of thousands of Americans died but possibly every single Japanese That remained loyal to the emperor. Think about it this way: in preparation for the invasion the US manufactured over half a million purple hearts! Conventional thinking favored the invasion, however President Roosevelt had faith that the “Manhattan project” would pay off by saving American lives, and bringing about a quick victory. "Should we be the first to develop this weapon, we will have a great new instrument for shortening the war and minimizing destruction" Henry L. Stimson 1943 World War Two, arguably the largest loss of life in modern times, was nearly over. Germany had surrendered and there was but one last bastion of defense, Imperial Japan. To many Japan was little more than another island, but the experienced U.S. commanders knew better. Japan was the sacred homeland, and every able bodied individual was expected to defend it, both by the Imperial and the U.S. commanders. The expected casualties resulting from an invasion for the U.S. were catastrophic. For the Japanese they were cataclysmic. But the U.S. had a cleaner idea in mind, what if there was something so effective that would cause japan to surrender in one swoop? There was such a thing, for in the past month the U.S. had finished developing the fist Atomic Bomb. They used it to it’s maximum potential nearly leveling the cities of Hiroshima and nagasaki. The loss of life was great, but compared to an invasion was it really that great?
