Research Project Explanation

How did the technological advances during WW2 prolong the Cold War?

WW2 is so interesting to me because of how they had the most similar technology to what we have today. The plane, nuclear, and computational technology sectors were all fast tracked because of the immediate need for war technology. This, however, had many consequences as the war after WW2 was far larger in scale and in length.

The technology developed during WW2 prolonged the life of the Cold War because of the nuclear efforts, vehicle research, and rocketry programs that occurred during WW2. The most interesting aspect of this entire research project is the fact that all topics point towards nuclear efforts. The vehicles that were produced before and after WW2 included the nuclear technology that we still use today. This was a huge improvement over conventional ways of moving. The rocketry programs of both the US and the Soviets all had one goal in mind. That was to launch a nuclear warhead at each other and make the bigger missile. No matter from what angle you look at it, nuclear technology was the driving force behind it.

    WWII intriguers me as well! Your topic is very cool because it focuses in on the technology.

    I too like to learn more about WWII, and your big gave me a start. It was cool how you mentioned all the weapons they used.

    I'm so proud of you! You seem like you honestly know what you're talking about on this topic. Have you thought about collaborating with someone who has the topic of Hitler?

Week 8 Free Writing

I noticed something very puzzling over this fall break. Every year my family takes a trip to Destin over fall break. We all have a great time as long as there are no red flags. And that was the problem with this year. Every single day that I went to the beach, there was a red flag even though the waves were very calm. Upon getting into the water, my feet fell from under me and I fell face first into the sand. It was painful, to say the least. I experienced something called under toe. It is actually very normal, and I was just stupid enough to not expect it. Under toe is caused by the waves that hit the shore and start falling back into the ocean. It creates a very powerful pulling force whenever there are strong waves. If this force is strong enough, then it can be very deadly. So just be careful the next time things look calm and always check the flag color for that day.

Symbolism

There used to be a mother and her son. His dad left when he was little, and they were both living in a house about ten miles away from town by a large field. The mother worked at a small sawmill managing books, and the son spent every weekday going to Mrs. Getrid's second-grade class. But there was one thing that Mrs. Getrid never understood. Every day the students would go home to eat lunch, but the son never had his mother pick him up. He always walked away from school even though his house was miles away from the school. He would always come back, hungry, and would continue school like normal. The mother never even knew that the children came home for lunch. She never really paid attention to her own son, and the son knew this. But nonetheless, she worked the books for the sawmill every day managing where the money went. She was good at her job too, but there was always one aspect of the books that she would never check. That was her salary. She was quite embarrassed by how ...
