In my own words,
Tyranny - Unfair use of power
Injustice - Not right things to do
Self determination - get their own right to choose something
These words can be example of the book 'animal farm'. In animal farm, animals' owner Farmer Jones whipped animal with many tools, but animals could not fight back with Farmer Jones because they didn't have enough power, the only thing they could do was protect their own body. This is example of Tyranny.
After when animal avoided the Farmer Jones, animal themselves divided their work, and did the work. But some animal such as cat, didn't work and hided inside the house and they only emerged at dinner, which was unfair. I think this action is an example of Injustice.
Before animals get freedom from Farmer Jones, none of the animal got their own right to do something. For example, pig don't want to provide ham to human but they had to.

Is the military in your future?
'Korea Military age - Mandatory 20 to 30 years of age for male, wartime conscription 18-49 years of age'
Which mean when I became 2o, I must join the military service. But even there isn't such a law like this, I would join the military service. I have dream to protect my country with my hands. I would feel proud of myself if I do that. Also, my dad had gone there, he is still having contact with his friend in military service. He told me, military place is not only scary and fierce place. Last week, one of the korean TV programme show about one of the Navy camp in Korea, navies in that camp, evry day navies becomes school teacher on evening. They helps students math and English. Even thought they had weird hair style, they looks very kind and nice. And I thought I would join to military serivice and help many people.

World War 1 cartoon
As you can see this Cartoon related to World War 1. On this poster many countries are sharing documents that represent power of the countries. I think this political cartoon shows us about what happened in many countries that had involved with World War and how did the war affected their countries. Accept some countries I think many countries might had lost many things because of the war. I think that two guys in the middle are strongest because they are shaking hand with many countries. If you look at the left side of the cartoon there is women who is crying, she is the only female. Also I think she is crying because maybe her country lost many things or defeated by other countries or women did not get their own right during the world war 1 ( Maybe that's why she is crying). If you look at the other side of the cartoon there is Italian guy who has sword. That sword represent either power of Italy or he is going to make a big war. If you move your sight to right, there is big guy who is smoking when his people busy to trading the document. This shows that during the world war 1, only high class people got most of the power. I think this cartoonist feels bad about what happen during the world war 1 also in order to make this cartoon more persuasive, he could have put some article or words that could his idea more clearly and help him to grab reader's attention. This cartoon is related to Great Power Game because this also cartoon shows they are fighting to get more power.

Great Powers Game Debrief
In the great power game, my country was Germany. At the begging of the game, I was excited about that I would build this empire by myself. But this wasn’t just easy as I thought. Because there were more than 8 countries and it was hard to make them to our side. Also some of the countries had the advantage to being success because they had enough industries, armies or navies at the begging of the game. If you have more industries or armies, you can attack small countries or spend some money on buying more industries rather then watch other countries developed. Fortunately Germany was a well developed country that already had some army to compare other countries. In the long run it was more important to buy more industries and colonies rather than armies and navies, because war didn’t appear very much and we shouldn’t had bought armies until 1905, I should had bought more industries so I can buy more armies in certain year when there is many wars. Being friend with other countries was very helpful to reach the goal, but draw up a document about an alliance wasn’t helpful because they could had break their promise and gone against you. My country had betrayed our alliances many times but it was one of our strategies, and it was very successful. From this game I notice in this kind of situation, I can not believe any one but myself, I learned industries, colonies are first to buy than armies and finally alliances are not trustful.

End of Quarter Two Feedback
At the end of first quarter, I promised to myself that I would read more books . During the Christmas vacation I had been reading book called 'temple tiger' which is written by Jim Corbett who was known as a good tiger hunter in India. It was a good book even though some of the stories are not perfect because Jim Corbett died before he finish those stories. I'm hoping it may improved my reading skill.
Three goal in this year:
- Finish 'Temple Tiger' and take a AR quiz as soon as posible to see how accurately I read this book
- Make sentences with my new vocabulary words to get use to it and improve my writing skill and vocabulary.
- When I looked back my writing piece in my blog I could find many mistakes that I could not find before. I will try to not make a error on my writing.
