RJA #14a. Application Project Progress
I was trying to decide if i wanted to switch my my prroject but after deciding that this was my best way to go I found a lot of sources to help me out. I decided to go wiht the journal entries and write about a young mans life begininning before World War II and ending after he came back from fighting in the war and ending it with a reflection of what he had gone through.
I have accomplished a lot on my project and am pretty happy with the outcome. I have found my sources and have written up a solid journal that I feel has all the aspects I was looking for with the beginning, then the war and how it was affecting him while he was fighting and how life was like back at home, and finally how life was like when he got back home from the war and how life was like.
I believe it was a pretty good entry but I think it is not a finished piece and could use a little more work or at least more polished entries that I hope will come out of what I wrote.

RJA 15 Reflection
This class ahs helped me use and find many more suorces than I have even tried to look for and they will help me with not only school but everyday life. I have made some large purchases while I was in this class and I made my decision by researching further than I would have ever done before. I also learned a lot about not only my topic but everyones topic that I had the good fortune to read and a lot of them will help me in my life and otherss were jsut extremely intersting to learn about. This class while be it a lot of work was defiantely a class that I am glad I took.

RJA #13c: Application Project Example
http://history1900s.about.com/cs/storiesfromwwii/
This is a site that had journal entries from soliders that fought in arious battles and this is the sort of thing that I was looking for. Something that could make you feel for where they are at but I wanted to add something about where they were before the battles began and how they are being affected in their own personal lives. This site is also ery good becuase it gives a variety of soldiers journals to look at so it gives the sides of the scared, the brave, the people in the battles etc. whic gives me the variety to make the best journal entries possible.

RJA #13b: Application Project Plan
Since because my paper is about a certain length of time the news article is something that would be a little hard so I chose to do the journal entries because I believe the paper is more of a personal kind of a paper rather than information based. It will be about about a few journal entries about people who were sent to war and how they felt about the war and how their lives had changed. The people will come from a different place: monetarily and socially to give more depth to the entries. It is something taht will be difficult to make even but from everything I have learned I feel like this is the best possible choice.

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.
