What was World War 2?

World War 2 started when Adolf Hitler and the Nazis invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Poland declared war on Germany, which means that Britain and France also declared war on Germany because they were allies. On December 7 1941, Japan bombed the U.S. Naval base known as Pearl Harbor. This brought the United States into the war and declared war on Japan. After this, the Allies started gaining momentum. On June 6, 1944 known as D-Day, the Allies invaded northern France and defeated the German troops in France. On July 11, 1945 the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered on the date of September 2, 1945.

How did World War 2 Start?

What do you think started World War 2? Some people think that it was started on September 1st 1939 when Hitler and the Nazis faked a Polish attack on a German radio station so that the Nazis could declare war on Poland. An hour later, Hitler declared war on Poland. Britain and France had a pact with Poland, thus they declared war on Germany on September 3. Others say that in 1931, Japan invaded Manchuria. The Japanese invasion of China in 1937 was also considered.

Judaism

Judaism

This symbol is called
David's star, from the
Bible, a holy book.


Introduction:
I did Judaism, because of the interesting topics and because I am a Christian.

Founder:
The founder of Judaism, Abraham, originating from the land of Canaan. One of the largest religions, they have about 14 million followers world wide. The Jews worship one God, and they are still searching for the Messiah to come.

Jewish Holy Book:
The Jewish holy book is called the Torah and the day of worship, Sabbath Day, is every Saturday. In contrast to the Sabbath Day of Christians, on Sunday.

Holidays:
The Jews have many Religious holidays including Days of Awe, Hanukkah, Passover, Purim, Jewish New Year, Festival of Booths and Tu B'Shevat. The Passover, in Bible times, was when the people put the blood of a perfect lamb over their doorway. They did this because the angel of death would sweep over the houses, and if you didn't do that, the angel of death would kill the firstborn son. They also celebrate this day, because of the time when Moses led the Israelites, out of Egypt.

Rituals:
They also have some rituals and customs like, the Mitzuot, the 613 Commandments, the Robbonic Law and the Synagogue are a few. The Jews also wear a prayer shawl, garb, white robe and a Kipa, or hat. They curl their hair and beards. The Synagogue has a hierarchy beginning with the elected president, to oversee the council, and finally the Rabbi and so on, all empowered.

I really liked researching on this religion. Check out this link if you want to learn more.

Why Does Our Team Turn On Each Other?

My football team is starting to come around. After our team being destroyed in the first game, we bounced back with three straight wins. Then we hit a major bump. Alleman came to town and they just destroyed us 42 to 0. Then we started turning on each other and blaming each other. We called each other names that shouldn't be said and we blamed the offensive line for loosing the game, but it was everyone's fault, in my opinion. The coaches took some people out of their starting spots and hopefully that will straighten our team out. Now the coaches said that I am not blocking good enough, so I have to work on that, but I am still second string wide receiver. They said that I would still play, just on passing plays. UT hasn't won in a long time, but we can't overlook anyone. Now we have to get back to winning again against UT, so it should be a good game

Dealing with People

I was looking at this link about dealing with people. It said that you can avoid talking to the person and see how other people get along with them. Without gossiping, you can talk to other people about what they think of the person. You can just introduce yourself to them or make small talk. If the person is annoying or crude you can just smile when they say something because everyone likes a smile, if they are nice do the same back. When they are around you, be outgoing and let them know you are there. Then repeat, especially watching and learning, they will notice you then start talking to them about things you are both interested in. If you don't like the person, say as little as possible.

Our Freshman Football Team

As a part of Team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. Hello, I am going to blog about my freshman football team at my high school. My football team is very big we have close to forty guys on our team. I have been playing since I was in 8th grade until now and i think it is a great experience. I think I will remember this for the rest of my life and all the fun things we will do like bowling and pizza parties, at the practices some guys tend to slack off and I hate that. The only people they will listen to is the coaches, they will not listen to anything I say. They screw around with the footballs and throw them at each other. When we are in the lunch room after school they make a lot of noise and get the teachers mad so then we have to run because of them. When we go to the varsity football games they cause trouble and are disrespectful of the fans and the people who come to watch the game. We have had multiple complaints about the freshmen football team being disruptive. I know it is only a select few, but a few bad apples ruins the bunch.
