Honors

World War Two (WWII) was a global war as the name implies, that lasted from 1939 to 1945. There were two sides to this war; the Allies and the Axis.  The main members Allies consisted of the United States, Soviet Union, British Empire and more. The main members of the Axis consisted of Germany, Japan, and Italy.

D-Day or the Normandy Landings was one of the most significant days in the entire war. The Allies invaded Normandy Tuesday, 6 June 1944. It was a huge attack"The operation was the largest amphibious invasion in world history, with over 160,000 troops landing on 6 June 1944. 195,700 Allied naval and merchant navy personnel in over 5,000 ships were involved."


It was an incredibly devastating assault, many allies were killed during the invasion. im falling asleep, sorry

Semester Dos, Blog Six

Marlene's pitches were pretty interesting. I though that the last one, where she says that she would talk about all the awkward moments sounds like it would be a funny and interesting article to read. Her first pitch was also pretty unique, she says that she would compare questions that she had before the internship to questions she now has after going through the internship experience. It's a pretty unique idea and I'd be interested to see how it would turn out.

Dylan's ideas were also pretty unique. I liked his pitch where he wanted to write his article about golf. He says that he talked about golf a lot with his mentor and that he would dedicate his article to talking about that. It might turn out to be an interesting and unique article about his relationship with his mentor and fellow employees. He could then go on to talk about work relationships in general and it could make for a pretty good article.

Maira's third pitch was definitely an interesting one. She wants to talk about what she did at her internship, but through the perspective of her camera or laptop. It sounds like it could really be a cool article, I've never really read anything like that. I'm assuming that she took pictures for the majority of the internship so it could be really cool, just telling her internship story through the lens of a camera.
