Mr. O. I need to consult with you about Vietnam sometime this weekend because the beast is due in 11 days. I emailed you.

Mr. O said...

Emma,

E-mail server is down for the school, so I didn't get your message. Home number is 755-4391.

Mr. O,
I'm confused as to the difference between the Red Army and the People's Liberation Army. Could you explain this please?
Thanks!

Mr. O said...

Red Army is the original name of the PLA during the Civil War. However, in the Cultural Revolution some of the students take on the name Red Guards which is sometimes mistakenly translated as Red Army.

Emma Lawrence-Yee said...

So really they didn't make a new name, they just resurrected an old one?

Justin said...

When is the Mao test? On the board it says we have a DBQ test next wednesday... should we bucket these questions for that?

Mr. O said...

Justin,

The adjusted schedule is up on the board. We are looking at the 22nd for the test.

Justin said...

for the quiz, do we need to learn the given names of all the people or just the surnames?

Laura Johnson said...

Hey Mr. O,
Just had a quick question. I was trying to get my preliminary buckets together, but I was curious about the format for the test. Is it going to be a DBQ or an essay test, Ill prepare for either in roughly the same way, just wondering.
Laura

Mr. O said...

Laura-Prepare the same way that you always do. There isn't really a way to prepare for the DBQ other than examine the hints that I gave you.

Justin-Surnames are fine.

As promised this link should work. The name will still link you the right way, http://www.emailthis.clickability.com/et/emailThis?clickMap=viewThis&etMailToID=753313671

Justin said...

Mr. O, a few questions:

For #4, should we choose three events,m campaigns, etc., or pick three areas (like we did in class) and evaluate whether they were successes or failures?

On #5, should we just use two buckets (arts and education) or three areas that the arts and education affected?

Can #7 be a comparison between two dictators? It seems like it could be, but I want to make sure before I spend any time on it.

And for all the questions, is Baum going to be the historian we use for the most part?

Reguarding the propaganda questions (3 and 6), should the cult of personality be just one bucket or do we use that as the "meat" to support three different buckets?

smart.babe. said...

Mr. O,
On question 8, when comparing the influence outside their own country, I am a little confused on how to format my last bucket. In class, you had suggested their interactions with each other as the last one, but I am confused on how to fit those interactions into a compare contrast format and how to get enough information format. The first two you mentioned we could use are sphere of influence and U.S. interactions.

smart.babe. said...

Mr O,
Also, as a side note, we (Ashley, Sierra, Kayla and I) were wondering who Judas was in the Mao style- version of the Last Supper?

Mr. O said...

Justin

I would probably make cult of personality one bucket.

#4-Either approach would work.

#5-I would probably pick three eras or areas.

#7-It could be two dictators in three areas or it could end up being three by the time we get done with Hitler.

Baum could be used, but I did mention a few others including Truchman and Jiang.

Mr. O said...

Paige,

I think you deal with it under the fact that at first their interests were not terribly well aligned. After 10/1/49, they are aligned and then they separate by the late 1950s.

Beijing was previously known as Peking and is a very populated destination. It is a prime transportation hub and has a complex network of roads, railways and motorways. It is located at North China Plain. The Great Wall of China extends over the northern part of the conurbation. It boasts of a humid subtropical type of climate with humid summers and windy winters. The air pollution level has decreased over the passage of time, the main reason being the preparation for the Summer Olympics 2008. It is a major tourist junction and hence receives plenty of visitors all round the year who take frequent flights to Beijing. Some of the hotels that provide perfect accommodation have been discussed in brief as under:

In urban areas of the Philippines, the term "village" most commonly refers to private subdivisions, especially gated communities. These villages emerged in the mid-20th century and were initially the domain of elite urban dwellers. Those are common in major cities in the country and their residents have a wide range of income levels.

ben 10 alien gamesSelo (Cyrillic: село; Polish: wieś, sioło) is a Slavic word meaning "village" in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine. For example there are numerous sela (plural of selo) called Novo Selo in Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro and others in Serbia, and Macedonia. In Slovenia, the word selo is used for very small villages (less than a thousand people) and in dialects; the Slovene word vas is used all over Slovenia.

Sizable Russian-speaking communities also exist in North America, especially in large urban centers of the U.S. and Canada, such as New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, Nashville, San Francisco, Seattle, Spokane, Toronto, Baltimore, Miami, Chicago, Denver and Cleveland. In a number of locations they issue their own newspapers, and live in ethnic enclaves (especially the generation of immigrants who started arriving in the early sixties).

The shock from the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake was felt throughout northern Florida, ringing church bells at St. Augustine and severely jolting other towns along that section of Florida's east coast. Jacksonville residents felt many of the strong aftershocks that occurred in September, October, and November 1886.

low death rates, and steady immigration, the colonial population grew rapidly. The Christian revivalist movement of the 1730s and 1740s known as the Great Awakening fueled interest in both religion and religious liberty. In the French and Indian War, British forces seized Canada from the French, but the francophone population remained politically isolated from the southern colonies. Excluding the Native Americans (popularly known as "American Indians"), who were being displaced, those thirteen colonies had a population of 2.6 million in 1770

The unification of the Three Kingdoms by Silla in 676 led to the North South States Period, in which much of the Korean Peninsula was controlled by Unified Silla, while Balhae succeeded the northern parts of Goguryeo.

In this state, which Jordania calls battle trance, hominids and early human were losing their individuality, and were acquiring a new collective identity, where they were not feeling fear or pain, and were religiously dedicated to the group interests, in total disregards of their individual safety and life. This state was needed to defend early hominids from predators, and also to help to obtain food by aggressive scavenging.

Ritualistic actions involving heavy rhythmic music, rhythmic drill, coupled sometimes with dance and body painting had been universally used in traditional cultures before the hunting or military sessions in order to put them in a specific altered state of consciousness and raise the morale of participants.
