The Cuban Revolution was a pivotal event in the history of Cuba that took place from 1953 to 1962, resulting in the overthrow of the dictator Fulgencio Batista and the establishment of a communist government led by Fidel Castro. The revolution was driven by a complex set of factors, including economic inequality, political corruption, and social unrest, as well as Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. The revolution was also influenced by Cuba’s history of colonialism, slavery, and political instability, as well as Fidel Castro’s charismatic leadership and his vision of a socialist Cuba. Ultimately, the Cuban Revolution had a profound impact not only on Cuba but also on the wider world, shaping global politics for decades to come.
In Laura Hillenbrand’s book, Unbroken, the book describes the adventure of Louie throughout World War II.
The story first starts in a small town of Torrance, California in 1917 but for most of the book it was focused on 1941-1945 during World WarII. Louie transforms from a kid that likes to play pranks in the neighborhood to a bombardier that flew in the heaviest plane at that time, the B-24. He experienced many interesting things in the prison camps and on the way to prison camps. Read the book to find how louie and his crew survive the most extreme physical, mental, and psychological hardships that they face everyday.
On this page I first found the central idea that the author was trying to get to us, that was not all enemies are evil. I found evidence and quotes in the book to support this and also did some research on the most brutal Japanese unit during World War II.
Reading through the book, I noticed a repeating word, b-29. I came to a conclusion that this was a central idea that the author wanted us to realize. It was that the b-29 was a huge advantage to the US during World War II.
On this page I first looked through my book for a very descriptive paragraph. I then saw two central ideas, The Japanese were treating the Pows poorly and that they don’t care about the international laws set to protect Pows.
I was done with my book. But when started to reread the book I got really interested with the bomber plane that they were flying, the b-24. There was a model on the book however my curiosity was not yet satisfied. I then did some research on google and got many specific data about the b-24 bomber.
Even though i have some slight disagreements with what they believed and philosophy however, overall i pretty much am a humanist myself.
The found poem above was taken from page four of “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” written by W. D. Whetherell. It shows an internal conflict of the main character struggling to decide who is more important, the giant bass or his crush Sheila Mant. This is the biggest bass he has ever hooked, and Sheila Mant is his crush so both are very tempting to him however if he chooses one then he will lose the other. Therefore, this is the biggest conflict in this story. “The proud, alert tilt of her head, and all these things were as a tug on my heart” “the strain of the bass, steadier now, growing weaker, and this was another tug on my heart” these two lines show how both of them were a big part of his life. Until he finally decided to let go of the bass. My art work shows what is happening inside of his Brian. The hard decision between his two favorite things.
