RJA #10c: Ideas for the Application Project

1. Journal Entry

I would my journal entry to my Uncle Rex because he lived through the Great Depression and was on the front lines of the invasions of Africa, Italy and the heart of Germany. He lived through some of our poorest times as a country and some of our highest times so he definately has an idea of what he believes is what is right and wrong. I would tell him what the statistics were according to every economic source I found, I would also let him know of all the things that were going on at home while he was off at war with all of the technological and industrial advances or withdrawls that were occurring.

2. Short Story

I would write this about an two individuals who came home and how their lives were affected positively or negatively during the war. Like one person left who was rich and owned a small business but came back and lost his business becuase machines were developed to mass produce he singularly made. The other man went into the war poor and on a downward spiral until he met someone in the war who gave him inspiration then he came home and went to school and joined a business that was helping create the machines.

3. News Article

This one be a little difficult because of the length of the time period I am doing. I could still pick out a singel day where we lost many men and there was a ship that was blown up carrying many imports/exports and on another article wrote about how we were supplying the war with war materials.

4. Editorial

In this editorial I would focus on the pros and cons of the technoligical aspect of what was advancing and standing still during a particular time in the wartime. Stating how some companies were able to advance becuase of the mass production of materials but how smaller companies were struggling to advance becuase of either their workers leaving for war or a lack of economical resources for them to buy goods needed to become larger in their individual field.
