The prisoner was killed in other prisoners' eyes.

In this website I learned many different information.There are all useful and easy to read.I learned there were approximately 140,000 prisoners who had been caught in Japan.Most of them were white people.One in three died because of sick,no food to eat and other reasons.
Prisoners found them were captured in Taiwan,Japan and other countries.In Japan,they had caught some military personnel and civilians before the outbreak of war.
Camps were encircled by barbed wire or high wooden fencing.The prisoners tryed to escape would be executed in front of other prisoners.
There were few of the Japanese guards spoke English.Prisoners need to learn Japanese to understand commands they gave to them.If the prisoners were failure to comply with instructions, they would punished by hitting.


This is a good video to watch.The cartoon is very nice,I can learn somthings from it.

Better than the last few weeks. Though you seem to have the same sites as your classmates, you have read more and learned more than they have, which is a good sign. I like the cartoon as well. Keep up the good work!

The amount of prisoners really frightened me a lot. It's enormous. Though it is a cartoon, the action of characters are lively. Perhaps next time you can find a film about real people. One of our classmate found a great film.
