Complete the following blogs before One World Week begins.
History:
In a thoughtfully composed essay, explain whether or not you would have recommended the use of nuclear weapons at the conclusion of WW2 if you were asked by Harry S Truman. Be sure to place this decision in it's proper historical and military contexts. Also, remember that two weapons were used and that there can be many answers in between a simple "yes" or "no". What would your advice have been if you were there?
Literature:
Choose three main characters from your current honors novel.
Find pictures or create pictures of what you believe they look like. You can draw a picture or use a picture from any online source as long as you cite your sources.
Write a character sketch that answers all of the following:
1. What physical presence does the character have? Include height, weight, size, physical fitness, posture, etc.
2. Describe the characters further visual details. Include hair, eyes, face, teeth, scars, tattoos, etc.
3. What distinguishing items does the character wear? Include clothes, jewelery, shoes, and any other physical item the character keeps with him/her.
4. What distinguishing behavior does the character have? Include habits, preferences (music, food, literature, etc.), speech (sayings, stalling words, etc), and demeanor.
5. What is the characters role in society? Include his/her job, hobbies, and uses of time.
6. What is the character's religion or philosophy? What beliefs does he/she hold? How does this create or mitigate internal conflict within his/her psyche?
7. What do others in the book say about the character?
8. What connections does this character have to history, established religion or the world beyond the book?
9. What does the character's name suggest? Authors rarely (if ever) name characters at random. What could the name symbolize? What evidence do you have for this?
10. How does the character develop during the plot? How does he/she change?
Now, look back at your answers to these ten questions. What patterns do you notice about each character? What conclusions does this lead you towards?
