Pieta By Michelangelo
I choose it because it is very exquisite and when I sow it,it strikemy heart.In this statue,I can't see the obvious sadness in the mother's face very much,but in her eyes and the lips I can see her mood is very sad.Her eyes look down to her son's body and close the lips.It reveal the respectable and grand form.Her left hand open and being up to the sky.Maybe she is asking the God "Why would be like this?"In the statue,I like it because it is so amazing that it is so like the real people.We even can feel the clothes is so soft and be lifelike.





This piece is Creation of Adam By Michelangelo
In this piece of art,this is Zeus who created Adam.I choose it because it is very beautiful and the lines of the body is very perfect.In the picture.Zeus created Adam.Adam seemed was wake up just a moment.Waiting for giving the power from Zeus.In the picture,the most important and the beautiful point is the touch between the God and Adam,but the creater didn't make the fingers touch together,maybe Michelangelo wanted to make everyone to imagine the wonderful moment.

Prisoners Of War



The prisoner was killed in other prisoners' eyes.
http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW2/pow_camps_japan.htm

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.

In this video I learned that there were six Japenese needed to transform to other six U.S.A. bussinessmen to find the secerts of the U.S.A.But one of the Japenese was betroyed by the goverment of Jepan.The goverment imprisoned him so he can't tell the secerts of this evil plan.After,the Japenese escaped.He went to U.S.A. to killed the other five Japenese who transformed to the U.S businessmen. An American detective who must find the killer before the last man has been killed.

Pearl Harbor

http://www.5min.com/Video/World-War-II-Japan-Bombs-Pearl-Harbor-1354529

My computer couldn't upload the video,so I use this wat to let people watch this vedio.
In this video.I think the Japenese are very evil.The warships of the U.S.A are all destroyed by the bombers of Japen.The armies of the U.S.A even didn't have any time to prepare.I think it is very terrible to do this.

http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/pearl.htm

This attacking of Japen was very surprise to the U.S.A.There are two waves of attack of Japen.After finished attacking.They went to attack other countrys.Include Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand.Before,when other countrys were attacking by Nazi and Japen.U.S.A was still didn't want to enter the war.But now,Japen attack U.S.A for no reason.Now,it's the time to fight back.U.S.A began to order the armys to jion the WW2.It was lucky that the carriers of U.S.A are not been destroyed,so that U.S.A can still fight back easyliy.



This is the poster commemorating
the attack, in 1942.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo_in_World_War_II

In this website there are many information about the bonbing air raids in Japen.I learned that the fist air raids in Tokyo was the Doolittle Raid.There are sixteen B-25 Mitchells were launched from USS Hornet to attack Yokohama and Tokyo.The raid didn't effect Japan's war capability but it was a propaganda victory of United States.After this attack of Japen,Japen put more attention to the protect of the country and armys.In this website I thinl it was difficult to read,so I just read a little about it.

http://www.socc.ie/~smurray1/Interesting/Bombing_raids/bombing_raids.html

This is a good website to me to learn the bombing raids on Britain.
In October 1940 Britain hade been petered out.There are about 14,000 killed and 18,000 injured in air raids.Most of the air raids are in day,but during November 1940 the Luftwaffe started a period of night raids.On 14—15 November the target was changed Coventry with lot of damage and killed.The city center are all been destroyed.Luftwaffe navigation was good and accurate at this time use the radio beams who directed the plans to the target.



It was the scenes after Britain had been bombed.

I know that Mohawk had a cooperation with British and killed other tribes and be the most powerful tribe in East.(There are no pictures in this website)
