Hello everyone!
In class we went over the beginning of Chapter 8, the Pacific War. We learned about the war in Asia, specifically between Japan and America and we called out EUROCENTRISM. Learn the vocab word hegemony, guys.
So today your homework is:
Critical Analysis #4 and 5 from the end of the section (page 151)
Song projects due Friday
Test Thursday
Maddy is doing a presentation on Emperor Hirohito while I am presenting the Kamikaze (Sorry Jody).
It's fair to say we have a fair amount of this homework, so have fun finishing that!
Fun fact! In 1999 researchers led by Dr. Yang Dan anesthetized a cat with sodium pentothal, chemically paralyzed it with Norcuron, and secured it tightly in a surgical frame. They then glued metal posts to the whites of its eyes and forced it to look at a screen that showed scene after scene of swaying trees and turtleneck-wearing men.
Ah, animal cruelty. Being perpetuated for decades in the name of research!
