The Nazi Hunters #1 Blog
Summary: Adolf Eichmann a nazi being hunted down by a group of hunters. He was well known in the nazi party. And is being chased down by "hunters". He was known for helping construct the concentration camps, bringing in jews and killing them and many more worse things. After the war he left his wife and kid to hide from being "chased". Some time has passed and a team came up with perfect ideas on how to get to Eichmann. There is limited information about Eichmann, but Simon Wiesenthal made the best out of it. He works in the OSS, Office of Strategic Services. Then Manus Diamant an undercover agent was suppose to go and find Eichmann's wife and investigate on his whereabouts.
Plot: I like the plot of the story, so far its explaining Eichmann and what he does and the spies and there jobs. I think it's cool how the book and plot are starting off and unfold to how the spies or hunters will capture the "most notorious Nazi" And so far it's just the uprising and getting to the climax which will most likely being the spies getting to Eichmann.

"Franklin D. Roosevelt." #8 Blog
Summary: FDR is now the 32nd president of the United States. He was elected 4 times, which is now a law that you can't be elected more than 2 times. He was hired during the times of WWII and lead America to victory. He was commander in chief and still had polio and we won, but he didn't do it alone of course. He had help from many of his "workers" and everyone else working in that cabinet. And just before WWII there was the great depression in the 30's, and he helped America through it. Many people recall that "FDR was one of the best presidents" "He was nice for what he did." He would do the fireside chats during WWII and keep people up to date with what was going on in the world at the time. FDR then was elected his 4th time in 1945 then died of a stroke on April 12. The world was shocked because of this.
Reflection: FDR was a good president and was different from most, being elected 4 times, having polio, going through WWII and the Great Depression. He even married his distant cousin and had 5 kids. He would also use a wheelchair because of the polio he had, he couldn't move his right leg or it was hard trying to move it. But he would never use it for pictures as he would always trying to look strong and not weak because he was the president. And it was shocking because no one really expected him to die, he was going on his 4th term the war was coming to an end soon and everything was ok. Then he dies and everybody is shocked about it.

"Franklin D. Roosevelt." #7 Blog
Summary:
FDR just finished Harvard and loves politics, so as he grows older at the age of 28, he would go into town and give speeches. At first he was shaky, nervous or even to slow that the crowd would start to clap when he really din't finish. Then after practicing he got better and better. And later became the state senator in 1911. Then WWI started and FDR wanted to volunteer as a naval officer but when he did it was too late. But when the war was over he attended the peace conference at Versailles. And just a couple years later FDR was said to have polio.
Character analysis:
At this time a chain of events happened for FDR. Becoming state senator, finishing college, WW1 starting, and getting polio. But surprisingly none of these really hurt FDR he was still doing what he always do. He would have to use a cane or have someone help him but, it didn't bother him. He even went swimming after.

He was a popular president even said "The Man Who Changed America" The citizens of the united states liked FDR, the Fireside talks he did over the radio. The author says "He was such a dynamic president." He loved to be first, he was the first political candidate in his district to campaign by automobile. He also was the first president to fly in an airplane, first to name a women to his cabinet, first to appoint a press secretary, and the first to leave the country in a time of war. He was the first and only president to be elected a third term. He also had a wheelchair, he found not walk by himself, he would need braces or crutches of even other people to help him. He also lead America to victory in WWII.
Character analysis (Early Life): FDR was born on January 30, 1882 and born into a pretty wealthy family. At a young age he could tell he was in a "privileged class" or "exclusive class." FDR did not go to public school, his mother taught him how to read and write before he was 6. Then put him to the hands of succession of governesses and tutors to teach him Latin, French, and German. Also History, geography, science, and arithmetic. At the age of 10 he became a naturalist and began collecting bird nests, eggs, feathers, and recording and observing different things. At the age of 11 his father gave him a shotgun. His parents were pretty strict though, can't do this, can't talk to them, only do this and so on. But FDR had a pretty good childhood, probably better than most at the time.

'The Walking Dead Road to Woodbury' #4 Blog
Summary: The group of survivors did go with Martinez, but he didn't talk much about himself, rather more about this place called Woodbury and saying how good it is. Walls, food, protection and other nonsense. They had to make 2 stops, one at Walmart the other at a near by gas station. They made it quick, and barely found anything, so it was pretty much a waste of time. But at the gas station they found some gas, not a lot. And that was about it. The group continued most of the time it was all quite. And as they were approaching this town, they seen a sign that said, "WELCOME TO WOODBURY POPULATION 1,102." Josh turns to the rest of the group and says "How do you feel about this." Everybody having anxious looks on their faces. Then Martinez turns and asks for their weapons, saying it's the "Town Rules." Josh doesn't seem to buy this and starts to argue. Then Martinez finally came up with a conclusion. He said to put away the larger weapons but they can keep the sidearms "tucked away." Now they were about to go on their Nickel Tour.
Signpost: Tough Question-In the last blog I did Martinez asks a really tough question towards Josh's group asking them if they want to go with him to this town. The group took a long time and finally answered "sure, why not." But they were faced with another tough question, to give up their weapons. They were also, sceptic about this. Asking themselves if they should trust this guy and do what he says. And yet again they said "Fine." but at least kept the other sidearms. I think this is going to bring conflict and drama at this town if they stay long. Not trusting another person.
