A little bit of history

There were many experiences in World War 2 that were bad and led to a horrible outcome such as victims of genocide during the war and what became of Germany after the war was all done.

During World War 2 Adolf Hitler who lead the Nazi Party hated mainly the jews but also gypsies,disabled, and homosexuals. He thought that they were not needed and caused way more harm than they did do anything good for the world. He wanted all these people gone. He had people going around to find and kill them. This he realized wasn't a fast enough way to kill them all so he decided he wanted them all in concentration camps to make them work until death. They made the jews and other live in horrible conditions, filled with disease white killed many people. The rough and horrible conditions cause many deaths for them. They started killing them by putting them in rooms and filling it with gas. The experience was horrible for those people who were in the camps but also for the people that worked and forced to kill the people like the jews or possibly be killed themselves.

Germany started the war thinking that it would be a quick win and had no worries. As the war kept going and the U.S. joined and they still kept up hope and continued fighting. The Battle of the Bulge was the final defense from germany before giving in. D-Day was the battle that the allies finally beat germany for good. When germany surrendered their army had become very weak and they had little supplies and lots of people killed. After the war they had a huge decrease in money. Expenses from the war had cost them lots of money. Many cities were ruined from all the fighting that went on during World War 2.

The causes of the World war one had to do with an assassination while world war two happened because of world war one and the outcome of world war one, also the technology from one war to the next got better and made countries way more powerful.

World War one long term causes were things likes Nationalism which is like pride for your own country and wanting your country to be the best. Also nationalism which is strong pride for your country and thinking your should always be the best and be on top. The official start was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and then after that Austria declared war.  Long term for World war two started with the Treaty of Versailles which was supposed to bring peace but ended up not bringing peace at all. Also because of appeasement and the rise of totalitarian. Germany invaded poland when he promised not to take more the Sudetenland but broke the treaty which had already been changed for Hitler. World war one was on of the reason World war two actually started. They both though had to do with Countries wanting other people's land and trying to take it over.

The technology in World war one first was propaganda which was posters and ways of getting information out to everyone in a way they would understand. The developed tanks to use in war. They used boats a lot too to help attack but mostly still tanks to help them bomb. World war two they used the atomic bomb which was the most powerful weapon in the war. This bomb killed millions of people when dropped in a area. They also used radar Eunigma to decode language being sent between people. The Germany used the blitzkrieg method to attack fast and hard on other places. Both wars used planes, planes and tanks to fight in the wars. These were the common things to use for fighting in the war.

World War two was really a continuation of World War one because the same conflicts from the previous war were never solved so when they tried to make peace it didn't work and the problems continued on.

The Treaty of Versailles after world war one was supposed to be to try to stop the wars and bring peace to the countries. It ended up not helping at all because the earlier problems had not been solved. The treaty was only made because of world war one.  The treaty ended up letting hitler make a huge army which was very strong. They also agreed to let him take over Sudetenland.  Chamberlain was the one letting hitler get away with all this stuff. He thought that appeasement would make them happy and content if they get what they want.   Eventually Britain said no when Hitler wanted to take over Poland. Hitler even though promised to take no other land took over he invaded poland and that when world war two started. The war most likely would have happened eventually without the Treaty but because of the way it happened World War one was the main reason World War two happened.

Essie

Essie had an ad for their new no chip nail polish in the magazine Glamour October 2013 issue. It is an add that is trying to get you to buy their nail polish which prevents your nails from chipping. The ads goal is to grab the readers attention and make them want to buy the product when they are done looking at the ad.

The first thing you notice when flipping to this ad is the picture of the ad. The bright colored blue chips with liquid being poured onto it. The fact that the chips are sitting on a round nail polish bottle makes you question how they are balancing there. The bright blue chips really stand out the most when you first look at the page because the rest of the page is mostly white or has neutral colors. Also if you were to use the fact that it is a nail polish ad, you would notice that the liquid is the no chip nail polish being poured over the poker chips. In all their other ads they do this with whatever color the nail polish is and have nail polish pouring out to show the color.

Written in bold three times on the ad is the words “No chips ahead” saying this comparing chips or marks on nails. The nails are not supposed to chip at all for up to ten days because the point of the nail polish is to help make sure that they don’t. It is bolded because these three words are very important and they should be one of the first few things you should notice if you are to look at the page.

The writer of the ad uses words like winning and winner again comparing it to like winning poker. If you use this new nail polish it is like having a winning hand. Winning as in how you can win a game of poker and hand as in fancy or good looking nails. The next sentence says in smaller print that “I’m a nail expert, not a gambler”, implying that they know this nail polish is a good product and that you should buy it. After that it talks about how good the new nail polish is and how long it will last if you use it. If you were interested in this product there is a likely chance you will read that and want to buy it more because it says it works well.

The only other things in color on the page is four like “e” symbols for Essie, which is the name of the brand, which say, in orange- everyday, in pink- strong, in teal- grow, and in brown- anit-aging. This is describing the details of a lot of their products and it is on every single one of the Essie ads. The name Essie in big letters is also just randomly in different directions and shades of grey are on the page multiple times to make sure that you remember the name of the brand when you are going to the store to pick it out or if you see it then hopefully you will remember the brand from the ad.

This ad targets women and mostly teens to make them want to buy the nail polish. The fact that it is in Glamour magazine makes it seem like if you are to use this product that you are more glamorous or high fashion when using what the magazine suggests. I think that this ad is kind of a metaphor in a way because it compares the fact that a winning hand of poker and that you will have a winning hand if you use this nail polish because you will always have the best hand with your winning top coat nail polish.

Pajamas

I'd like to bring up a pet peeve of mine because I think or hope I'm not the only one who feels this way about this problem. I just can not take a person when they are wearing there pajamas to school. I honestly wish we could make it a rule that you are not aloud to do that. I understand that you are tired in the morning and no one wants to get out of there comfy pajamas in the morning, but if somehow everyone else seemed to change before they came to school so I am slightly confused on why people still can't seem to figure out that they are one of the few people who still wear that. I don't know but it just makes me really uncomfortable to think that you wore those clothes all last nigh and didn't change into something new for school. Or even if you did change why did you have to put on those spider man pants? I am sorry I just can't take you serious if you are wearing those. You need to make you make herself look somewhat presentable. Please at least wear sweat pants to school. I know it seems like it can be hard but i promise you will even feel better about yourself if you do! So try to take the time and see how much better it makes your day because I promise you will feel better about yourself!

Mr. Zielger

Going into happiness this year I had a mix emotions of being supper and excited and nervous! I was very scared that because I am involved in multiple activities that it would be a problem. A lots of my other coaches or teachers weren't as, as flexible as I assumed they would be so I was super concerned. Before the showchoir season started  he sat down with every single person and had an individual talked with them about any questions and concerns. When I started talking to Mr. Ziegler he was completely understanding about all my activties and made sure that everything will work out even with my busy schedule, which took a lot of stress off my shoulders. He is so extremely understand and if you ever have any problems you can go to him and you know he will always be there and be as realistic and understanding as possible. I know most of the people in showchoir, including myself all feel this way. I have grown so much as a person being in happiness. Not only have I learned so many things about singing and dancing because of him but also how to make the team as a family. It is way more important to him to have us be a good team for each other over how well we preform and what we place. Never has his first priority been winning which I think is the best thing because so many coaches don't understand that when you have that mind set, that it brings the team down. Trying to put into words how much support and love he gives the group isn't even possible for me but he works so hard and deserves this award more than anyone I know and I really want him to realize how much we care about and respect him. 

It isn't summer yet...

Call me a hypocrite all you want but I think that people really need to figure out how to dress appropriately for school. Yes I have got the comment every once in while from my friends about my dress being to short and sometimes my stomach shows to much with my crop top even though I am wearing high waited shorts and some times my shorts are to short too. Yes we all have those outfits everyone in a while that are questionable and I wont deny it, I for sure do that sometimes and it is bad but it is the people who everyday wear things they shouldn't to get attention for the wrong reasons. So please don't call me a hypocrite if you have seen/ see me do this SOMETIME because I know you all know the girls I am talking about when I talk about the people who do this all the time.
My first problem is girls with there tank tops. There are multiple things that people do to make them slutty. Girls is your cleavage is hanging out of the take top so much that everyone is uncomfortable there is a problem here. No one wants to look at that all day everyday so please put a full shirt on sometimes so we don't have to see that. Also with tank tops girls feel the need a lot of time to buy them really short? I have done this but I see the same girl almost everyday make sure she has a about a inch of her stomach showing between her very low rise pants and where the tank top actually starts. Is that really needed everyday to show off your midriff to the world and all the teachers and adults at school?
Another problem that girls have is crops tops...if it is 10 degrease in the middle of winter I don't even know what in your right mind makes you think you should put a crop top on. The only exception is if you have very high wasted shorts so you can't see very much skin or a high wasted skirt but still only on the nicest days on winter please not when it is negative outside. Girls come in to school all winter with there low rise jeans and leggings with a crop top on and literally half their stomach showing. The first time I saw this I think I was in shock of why you would want that kind of attention at school. A girl in one of my classes wore leggings and folded them over to make them even smaller with a very short crop top to show off her belly ring, why, please tell me why you would think that is okay? Also another girl who wore the lowest rise jeans I have ever seen that her underwear was almost hanging out and such a short crop top that I don't even know if I would wear it in the summer. Please oh please girls wait until summer if you are going to wear your crop tops with something to high rise. I am sure your boyfriends love to see it but not everyone else does.
Pencil skirts, oh pencil skirts are just my favorite thing. (complete sarcasm.. ) The typical winter girl look with her pencil skirt and very low V-neck with Ugg boots, SO CUTE, not. Girls wear the shortest and tightest skirts I have ever seen with no tights and it is unreal. Maybe it its like about 40 degrease at least you can wear it without tights but really no one wants to see your underwear when you even just bend down the slightest or even some girls just walking down the hall you can see their bottom hanging out and I just wonder how that doesn't drive them insane.
Overall the point  I am trying to get across is yes we all have our occasionally slutty and scandalous outfits but if everyday you are doing one of these things, there is a problem. Please wait for summer when we don't have to see you everyday and all the horrible things you wear. There is a difference between fashion and trying to show what you are wearing because you think it is cute and wearing it to get inappropriate attention. There is a time and a place and school is not one of them.
