...The film and Dear Miss Breed create two different viewpoints on the Japanese people living in the internment camps. The author’s purpose for directing the film was to make the internment camps seem like a happy and joyful space for the Japanese. While the author’s purpose for writing Dear Miss Breed was to show what the internment camps were like for the people of Japanese heritage. “There were many houses which looked as if they were built many years ago.” “Where the army almost overnight had built assembly centers.” The author of Dear Miss Breed said that the homes the army built overnight were not new, but they looked like they were built many years ago. The director of the film said the houses were brand new and that the army built them...

...be sure to have the correct attitude. People best respond to conflict with the correct attitude which is a positive attitude. The people in the book Black Ships Before Troy do not think that keeping a positive attitude can resolve conflict. They think that fighting is the best response but they lost a lot of lives. “ half of them lay slain” (Sutcliff 111), they kill each other so much.They also think that careful planning will get them what they want, but the other side thinks that also. Fighting doesn't resolve conflict. The Diary of Anne Frank and dear miss breed shows how a good attitude can help you survive. People in the Diary of Anne Frank respond well to conflict. Anne responds well, so does her father, ”it’s funny”. The conflict is big yet they can think of other things. Louise managed to find good things about the trip to the Japanese internment camp. She talks about the beauty, “most beautiful scenery” (Dear Miss Breed 19) Anne's father like anne responds well to conflict. Mr frank gave anne a present to make her feel better...

...Have you ever wondered what people did in response to conflict? Everyone does it differently for each conflict. In WWII, there were rebels in the Nazi army and government, spying on what they are doing.There were many who rebelled against the Nazi’s. For example, Sophie Scholl rebelled against her school. Winston Churchill rebelled against the Nazi’s invading the United Kingdom. They all went against the opposing sides because they responded to conflict. In the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, Hitler Youth, by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Dear Miss Breed, by Joanne Oppenheim, Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat, by Winston Churchill and Anne Frank:The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank talk about responding to conflict.

Chapter 1 M y father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip. I give Pirrip as my father’s family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister - Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father’s, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, ‘Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,’ I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine - who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle - I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state...

I The Period It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. There were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a plain face, on the throne of England; there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with a fair face, on the throne of France. In both countries it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever. It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured period, as at this. 3 of 670 A Tale of Two Cities ...

...8 SOUTHERN THAILAND FOLK TALES Foreword… It all started a few years ago in a discussion with our English Major Students. We were talking about regional differences; how perceptions of people differ. I explained how people in the north of England view the folks from London and the south, and vice-versa. “It’s the same here in Thailand” one bright student chimed, “the folks in Bangkok and the north think everyone down here in the south are stupid, ignorant and to be viewed with extreme suspicion. But we have a very rich cultural heritage” she went on to explain. “We have history and stories that have been passed from father to son, from mother to daughter, for centuries.” So, it was agreed, the students would mine the Southern Thai Culture for the myths and legends that go to make folk tales. These would be documented and translated into English. This was to be a useful extra-curricular activity in the student’s quest for better English usage and understanding. The project ‘grew like Topsy’ and before long we had plans afoot to publish a small book that could, with a bit of luck, help to narrow the cultural divide between north and south Thailand. And, of course, educate and amuse us poor, ignorant, foreigners! Together with my friend and former colleague, Ajarn Kevin Marshall, we agreed to edit the student’s submissions, bring the often-archaic language up-to-date and inject modern usage and idioms whilst retaining the spirit of the original. It was a big idea but one that...
