Reflection #3

Hello my name is Reid Soliman. Overall this project was a fun project to do. I enjoyed the time I had doing this project with Fabian and Erin. They were both helpful in finding and writing info down about the Vietnam War. The best part doing this project was finding a song having to do with the Vietnam War. I ended up finding Jimi Hendrix's song "All along the Watchtower". I loved this project overall, I hope I get to this again sometime.

Relfection #2

Hello I am Erin Martinez. The project was fun working with Fabian and Reid. They were very helpful in completing this project. I think being the first time ever doing an assignment like this was really fun. I think Mrs. Peterson Henry should do this again with all her other classes in the future. This project also helped me remember things from the Vietnam War. Overall this project was a great and fun project.

Reflection #1

I am Fabian Cisneros of Mrs. Peterson Henry's 2nd period class. My reflection on this project is that it was fun interacting with other people of our class. I really enjoyed both my partners help on this project because without them I wouldn't have completed it. Information about Vietnam intrest me in a way that no other subject can. The Vietnam War is one of those topics that I can talk about for hours.

Vietnam War Protest Songs

"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessmen they drink my wine,
plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"
"No reason to get excited,"
the thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Vietnam War

The Vietnam War is something a person should not go through in his life. It is a war zone every time you step in a new place. Vietnam is some place that you do not want to be in. This is a communist country and were trying everything to keep it democratic. These Vietcong s are not giving up and for them its never ending. They fight and fight till every single one of them dies.  But this may be a war that the United States could not win. Now our country has to go through a draft and force people into the army. I am not a person who supports this war. I think we should not get involved in foreign affairs. In my understanding I do not understand why were in this war but I know it is not for a good reason. Those are my reasons why.

Jake Wilson

Hi my name is Jake Michael Wilson. I am an American soldier who is fighting in the Vietnam War. Before this war came about I was working as a milk man for the Dairy Inc. I was born on November 18, 1935 and grew up in the World War II era. It has been a hard couple of years going through the Red Scare because of all of the false accusations being told about many people. In my daily life I have a girlfriend waiting for me when I get back from Vietnam. We have a serious relationship and I know we can take it to the next level which is marriage. I'm an only child but my parents do care about me and are waiting for me when I come back from Vietnam. I am looking forward to coming home from Vietnam because out here is a battle for survival and me battling for my life is such a hassle. I just want to be home with my girlfriend and also my beloved family members especially my mother.
