I am thinking that the women
would do a good job into
supporting the war effort because
they are able to take over some
of the jobs while the husbands
are at the military.
Were there any other rationings
other than gas and food?
Were all the men being enlisted
into the army?
The U.S government seemed to
be very willing into defeating
their enemies in this war.
The Manhattan Project reminded
of the project that my chemistry
class did last year where they
were talking about the history
behind the nuclear bombs.
Where do the 75 percent of the
women work at?
If the men were gone to enlist in
the army, the women can take
over their work place while they
are gone overseas at war.
When did the women join the
WAVE?
World War II reminded me of
the book, Number the Stars since
the setting is taking place during
World War II.


Hitler should never have had his
point of view against the Jews as
the scapegoats of Germany.
The Jews were the reason why I
hated Hitler because he always
think they are the ones to blame
when it is actually Hitler who has
to blame himself.
What was the reason that it was
being called D-D day?
The Name of D-D day kind of
reminded me of Dee Dee from
Dexter’s Laboratory.
The G.I Bill must have been a
successful bill other than the New
Deal during the Great Depression
which Franklin Delano Roosevelt
was involved with.
Why the atomic bomb was called
Little Boy?
When was the maginot line built?

Who were the people on the
battle on Two Jima?
What was the USS Enterprise
decorated with?
I wonder why Japan wanted to
capture Thailand and Hong Kong.
The planes that were loaded with
