1940 - 2017 Clothing Difference, Week 2, Day 5, Part 2

1940 - 2017 Clothing Difference

My opinion between 1940 and 2017 clothes is that although they both look extremely similar they are made of competently different quality materials and colouring.

VE Party, Week 2, Day 5

My VE Party Plan

My plan would be to make a peaceful party with my friends and family we would have a relax at somewhere like a nice park, and enjoy a walk down a bush track, and afterwards maybe go to a fancy cafe so we all can have a well deserved snack.

Victoria Cross Winner, Week 2, Day 4, Part 2

John Hinton

Who Was He:

He was a fellow soldier working with many New Zealand and British soldiers, who gave up on retreating and used grenades and a few guns to storm 2 German houses and blow up the gun crews, soon afterwards getting shot in the stomach and taken hostage, although he escaped and attempted it many more times.

Reason For Earning Victoria Cross:

He didn't want to retreat anymore, so he fought over and over getting more and more beaten up until he couldn't go on anymore and ended up in a hospital bed where he got his Victoria Cross.

Two Key Events WW2, Week 2, Day 4

Two Key Events Of World War 2:

• 8 January 1940: Rationing begins in Britain.
• 20 July 1944: Attempted assassination of Hitler. 

8 January 1940: Rationing begins in Britain.

The war had meant a shortage in food because of destruction of land and sinking of supply ships.  A National Registry of citizens had been compiled and ration books were distributed.  

Rationing was introduced on January 8th 1940 to help prevent hunger.

20 July 1944: Attempted assassination of Hitler. 

On 20th July 1944 a group of conspirators attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler by exploding a bomb in his field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia.  

More than 20 people were injured with 4 people dying.  Hitler was shielded from the blast by the conference table leg.

The failure of the assassination attempt and the following attempted coup led to the arrest of more than 7000 people with more than half being executed.

Raising Funds

3 Ways I Would Raise Funds In The 1930's

1.  Open a lemonade stand in the centre of town for all people to enjoy (if lemonade existed back then).
2. Make toys for children's parents to buy and raise a little extra money.
3. Open a small petting zoo for children to enjoy along with their parents. 

Dealing With Stress, Week 2, Day 3

How I Deal With Stress

Towards stress for me it would usually be from playing a rage game.  However the way I deal with stress is by going to watch a video of a more peaceful game.  Another way I deal with stress is by going outside on the trampoline and having a long jump for however long I want.  If I don't do those I'll likely be going to have a read of a book for at least 10 minutes, that way I'll let my mind focus on only one thing, the topic of my book.

Art Deco, Week 2, Day 2, Part 2

What I'm Rating:

My Rating:

I've given this rating because although it is delicately and well made, I feel that it should have a little more pizzazz to it, such as there should be something in the background and you can see it, or just look through the car and see it.  Maybe there could be a logo of some sort on the car to indicate something or some place.

The Lion's Cage, Week 2, Day 2

The Lion's Cage

The Lion's Cage was created by Charlie Chaplin, who played as a young man getting chased by a donkey.  In this scene of running away, the man attempts to hide inside a carriage, only to find himself inside a lion cage.  In this comedy-based movie, the man attempts to exit the carriage in one piece without waking up the sleeping beast!  Before escaping this carriage, the man wakes up the lion on mistake thinking he is doomed quickly after, however the lion just comes over to him, sniffs him, and then goes back to it's bed in the corner of the room.  Later he is let out by a woman who had just passed out from seeing the man in the lion cage, after the man gets let out, thinking he is all powerful now, decides to stay in the cage and quickly afterwards, gets scared by the lion thinking it was coming for him.

Voting In Saudi Arabia, Week 2, Day 1, Part 2

Voting In Saudi Arabia

What Do I Think About Woman Voting In Saudi Arabia?  I think that it is better for their community, and I think this is because by including woman into the voting it is an unbiased and fairer vote for the country.  Including woman into the vote means that their voices are heard and people will actually agree with them.  It makes sure that not only men have the pressure to vote and that woman can vote as much as men.  Although they decided to allow woman to vote in 2015, I still think that they should have been able to earlier than that.
