Remember when you thought “I have 8 weeks to get that done. I can put it off.” That’s no longer the case! Papers are due THIS WEEK! A few people asked if I would post an example of how the wording should look for the paper. Below you should find that.
On December 7, 1941, Japanese war planes carried out a major offensive on the United States Naval base in Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor. According to Wikipedia, 2,388 were killed and 1,178 wounded. Velma Clydesdale recalls hearng this news on the radio. “We had just come out of church. I remember wondering why the Japanese were mad at us? We had always expected an attack from the Germans or Italians because of our support for the British.” She went on to explain that nobody understood the attacks, which of course caused panic and fear to run rampant throughout the country. Velma compared the feeling to the day the Twin Towers were attacked in New York. “Everyone was glued to their radios the entire day, trying to find out what had happened.” She said she remembered it feeling real when the pictures came out in the news papers that week and President Roosevelt told the country that we were at war.
