Truth of war Project



Here is the Essay
Joshua Riding
Project reflection
What this project was mostly about World War I and II where we read two books All Quiet on the Western Front and Slaughter house five. We started out with a question which was what the truth of war is for a soldier. We learned about how Hitler came to power and what the repercussions were for it and how that affected people in that time. We found out differences in fighting styles for first with World War I where it was mostly trench warfare and then it moved from that straight to urban warfare where tactics changed a lot.
Perseverance was the habit of heart and mind that I used the most since it was hard for me to sit down and focus so I used music to keep me on topic and also going out into the hallway so I wouldn’t be as distracted, but I still had some difficulty. I also used it when I was at my house because I could have just gotten off working and started to play a game but I stuck to a schedule to help me. I also would say I used perspective because I see war as bad and has things that contribute to actually liking war or at least a small amount of exposure to war.
A big thing that I had changed in my essay was that I was instead of basing the whole thing off of video games to just include it into the story, but only as a paragraph. Also I had changed it so that it didn’t say back in the olden days which I used to use to explain WWI, WWII. Changing the story from just games to all around made it better because instead of being games are what made this happen or are a horrible propaganda I have it so it is more games are a propaganda, but aren’t as bad. Taking out the olden times was needed a lot because if I kept it in there then it would be like what is he talking about the olden days.
If I had another week to work on this project I would start with my weakest thing which I think is my essay and I would spruce that up a little bit more and then for the picture I would work more on that. What I would want to add to the essay is add more quotes into it to make it more powerful and showing that the points I’m explaining are being seen by the people in these books as well. What I would change for the project would be the pictures and how they aren’t as smooth as I would like. Everything else I think is good in my essay and project all it needs is what everything needs refinement.
