A World Devided

Fascism:
http://departments.kings.edu/history/20c/fascism.html
I viewed this website and found it introduces
fascism by countries. Take the fascism in
Italy for example, Mussolini is the first people
who started it in Italy. I learn that same
thought may have different developtions in
different countries.


Communism:
http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/bcaplan/museum/marframe.htm
I scan this website and find there's a picture of
a man with big beard. His name is Karl Marx,
he is significant for communism. His thought
is called Marxism. It is kindness. Therefore, I
learn thoughts can be realized in many ways.



Democracy:
http://www.worldprintmakers.com/english/artofdemo.htm
I look at the pictures in this website. These
pictures are interesting. They are the art of
of democracy. All the pictures have the mean-
nings of democracy. I learn that perhaps
democracy is common now, but many years
ago, people even have to propagate by pics.

Powwow

http://www.powwows.com/info/?p=63

As for everybody knows, powwow is the gathering

of Native Americans. This website is like a diary.

From author's picture, I know he isn't successful

on pretending Indians. I look at the right list and

click "What is a Pow Wow?". I learn everyone

has different explains of the meaning of powwow.

Some think it's a behave of culture, some think

it's a war dance.









http://www.kten.com/Global/story.asp?S=5729074

I scan over this website and find it writes about

what the writer had experienced on the powwow.

Furthermore, I learned for the natives, join the

powwow is important because of making friends

with others. Although there are many strangers,

they all dance and sing together.








This website, in fact, it is more like an invitation.

It will be hold on April 4 and 5, 2009,at Saline

Middle School in Saline. I watch the video beside

and learn how happiness and wonderful powwow

is. I also realize, to make friends with others

easily, by dancing and singing with others is the

quickest way.

The Nazi Party

http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/ww2era.htm
This website connects to many other websites about
Hitler and Nazi. I scan it. The writer thinks Propaganda
was central to Nazi party. The writer wrote a book:
Bending Spines: The Propagandas of Nazi Germany
and the German Democratic Republic. The writer has
written a new book,too. It is named "Landmark Speech-
es of National Socialism". Both of them talk about Nazi.



I surf this website, and it has some introduce about theNazi
Party. It is a dangerous group, of course the centerof the
party, Adolf Hitler. It's said they believed that
they can live under the ground and fly toward the stars
by a mysterious substance called Vril.
Picture of Nazi:

I found this website about how is the women under Nazi's
law. Women were forced to give up work and have children
to make German powerful. Interestingly, many women
supported the National Socialist Party. In this website, you
can find some rules Nazi Party ruled about Germany wom-
en. Including keep mind and spirit pure, married to German,
and knowing the ancestor of their husband.

Hitler

http://www.ushmm.org/outreach/nrule.htm
This website have more informations about
Nazi party. I scan it and click the top of the
website, Nazi Terror, some terrible things
which they had done. For example: End
individual freedoms, including freedom of
press, speech, and assembly.
I am interested in this website's title,
Hitler's Secret Jewish Girlfriend. It's strange,
hu? Because Hitler was famous for killing
jewish. This information is from a book wr-
itten by Hitler's best friend August Kubizek.
It's said that Hitler never concerned about
the truth which his girlfriend was a jewish.
And this, has many things about Hitler's life.
At the part of "Hitler's Boyhood", it even
mentions that he had a fine singing voice. He
also seriously considered becoming a priest
for two years. In this website, there is a
sentence:"It was not long before the great
historic struggle had become my greatest
spiritual experience. From then on, I became
more and more enthusiastic about everything
that was in any was connected with war or,
for that matter, with soldering." - Hitler
stated in his book Mein Kampf.

Meaning of Life

Insignificant mortals, who are as leaves are,
and now flourish and grow warm with life,
and feed on what the ground gives,
but then again fade away and are dead.
-by Homer
This website:http://www.meaningsoflife.com/
has some informations of the meaning of life.
Life is dream, life is pain, life is short... ...
However, my thought of the meaning of life
is as same as the poem at the top. Life is just
like a plant, we gain knowledge to grow. And
then seeds become trees, and so do we. But
we can find that the leaves fall, of course,big
trees die, and so do we. Nevertheless, it does
not mean the end. More and more plants
grow by the nutrient of the dead tree. Human
should be the same, our life's valuable can't
disappear after we die. What we must do is
to have contribution to the social. This is my
target, and it should also be everyone's.

Myth about Farming

http://www.legendsofamerica.com/NA-SiouxLegends.html
This website has many myths. For example:
The Forgotten Ear Of Corn

An Arikara woman was once gathering corn
from the field to store away for winter use.
She passed from stalk to stalk, tearing off
the ears and dropping them into her folded
robe. When all was gathered she started to
go, when she heard a faint voice, like a
child's, weeping and calling:"Oh, do not leave
me! Do not go away without me."The woman
was astonished. "What child can that be?"
she asked herself. "What babe can be lost in
the cornfield?"She set down her robe in
which she had tied up her corn, and went
back to search; but she found nothing.
As she started away she heard the voice
again:"Oh, do not leave me. Do not go away
without me."She searched for a long time.
At last in one corner of the field, hidden
under the leaves of the stalks, she found one
little ear of corn. This it was that had been
crying, and this is why all Indian women have
since garnered their corn crop very carefully,
so that the succulent food product should not
even to the last small nubbin be neglected or
wasted, and thus displease the Great Mystery.

Egyption God and Goddess


http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/gods_gallery.shtml
This website talks about some egyption gods and
goddesses. I will introduce three gods here.

For picture one,this god is Osiris.Osiris, a member
of the Great Ennead, was not only god and chief
judge of the Underworld but also god of resurrection
, the Inundation and vegetation. He was represented
as a mummified king. He was murdered by his
jealous brother, Seth, but was resurrected.

Then picture two, Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris.He

is also the god of sky. Born to Isis after the murder
of Osiris by the god Seth.He was raised by his mother
to avenge his father's murder, a struggle that lasted
80 years before the gods finally awarded him victory
and the throne of Egypt.

The last picture, Anubis, the god of death.It was Anubis
who guided the dead on the paths of the Underworld.
Early on in Egyptian history, before Osiris rose to pro-
minence, Anubis was the great funerary god, lord and
guardian of the necropolis.He was depicted as a black
jackal-like creature, or as a man with a jackal's head.
