Hi Mr. O

I'm going to use #3 as an example, but this quesiton applies to several others. Does it work to use one paragraph to explain the Truman Doctrine/Marshall Plan, or should we put it in the intro? Putting it in the intro saves room for more info, but using a paragraph lets us show our understanding more thoroughly.

Mr. O said...

Justin,

For that topic, I would probably give plenty of detail about it in the essay itself.

Haile said...

Hey Mr. O,

Other than the Berlin airlift, what else could you talk about in question 8?

Meghann Fladager said...

For number 1, do these buckets work?

1. Ideology and we have Marxism vs. Liberalism under that
2. Geopolitical and for that we have dropping the atomic bomb, denied 2nd front
3. Truman-Stalin Relationship

We dont have very much detail though.

Emma Lawrence-Yee said...

Ooh, Haile I got this:
General background: WWII, Trizonia, distrust between US and USSR
Berlin Airlift
West Germany into NATO --> Warsaw pact

Emma Lawrence-Yee said...

Why are we angry about Poland?

Haile said...

Yeah I posted that question before I talked to Mr. O this morning. Thanks Em :)

For question 7, did most people just use Stalin and Truman?

Mr. O said...

Emma,

We don't like the way the Soviets have handled Poland situation. The biggest issue is that the Soviets agreed to elections at Yalta and didn't follow through.

Meghann,

I think I would go a bit further back on the geopolitical battle (Pt 2). You could even go as far back as Versailles.

Haile,

Emma's on a good track.

Now, back to Lost Season 3 and letters of recommendation. That should make for a fine combo.

Mr. O said...

Haile,

Yes and avoid the "others."

Mr. O,
They are the "good guys," as Ben said in Season 2.

Can I label Hampton Sides (Ghost Soldiers) as a historian even though he is really just a sports journalists turned semi-novelist with a historical subject?

Emma Lawrence-Yee said...

Is it ok to use a figure only in the Conclusion, but still include it in the Summary of Evidence?

Emma Lawrence-Yee said...

Is this too much opinion for Summary of Evidence? It would act as my topic sentence after I gave the facts of Hampton Sides' argument.

"Casualties are also seen as a consequence of inaccurate estimations, disease, disorganization, and intentional political sabotage."

I don't know if you can answer, but I don't want to get marked down for inserting my opinion. It's a technical question.

Interesting and I will answer on my blog using your text.
IKE and FDR were good for America and IKE warned the citizens about The Military Industrial Complex in his farewell address
IKE also had a period of social renewal and built roads schools and housing with tax bonds and MADE JOBS using Keynesian policy after WW-2 and The Korean conflict

The Monroe Doctrine played a major role in the Cold war in Central America when dealing with Nicaragua.I lived it and was told so directly by an officer that was an overwhelming influence in their decision making.

when analyzing the "successes and failures of Nixon's and Carter's foreign policy," does it make sense to do a two bucket structure (successes and failures), or would it be more efficient to look at each administration seperately in two buckets?forumlinkbuilding company

The battle led to a temporary collapse of Mercian power. Penda was succeeded first by his son Peada (who converted to Christianity at Repton in 653), and who was set up by Oswiu as an under king, but in the spring of 656 he was murdered and Oswiu assumed direct control of the whole of Mercia. A revolt in 658 threw off Northumbrian domination and resulted in the appearance of another son of PendaAlcohol Rehab Center in Florida

Relationships between Korea and China remained relatively peaceful during this time. However, Unified Silla weakened under internal strife, and surrendered to Goryeo in 935. Balhae, Silla's neighbor to the north, was formed as a successor state to Goguryeo. During its height, Balhae controlled most of Manchuria and parts of Russian Far East. It fell to the Khitan in 926.

The arts are a vast subdivision of culture, composed of many creative endeavors and disciplines. It is a broader term than "art", which as a description of a field usually means only the visual arts. The arts encompass visual arts, literary arts and the performing arts – music, theatre, dance and film, among others. This list is by no means comprehensive, but only meant to introduce the concept of the arts.
