ENGLISH HOMEWORK I Am David Is the book we are reading in English. Here are some questions from the homework page with my answers:

code 1. Roughly how many people died as a result of World War II? 50,000 [This should be worded into a sentence - Miss Collis]. 

2.What is a “dictator”? (Look up the word in your dictionary and write its definition here.) a person exercising absolute power, a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession.

3. List the two dictators mentioned in this selection, and the countries of which they were the leaders. The dictators were Adolph Hitler from Germany & Joseph Stalin from the Soviet Union.

4.Who first used the expression “iron curtain”? What is meant by an “iron curtain” ? It was Winston Churchill and it means the expression towards the labour and concentration camps, being blocked out from the world with an iron curtain.

5.What is a “labour camp”? Who was put into labour camps? By whom? Why is David in a labour camp? A labour camp is where mainly kids get put to work like picking at rocks and stuff, people they did not want in the outside world, By the government and leaders, David was probably put in there because he is a Jew or the government has something against his family. [This is a formal piece of writing and you are using words suck as LIKE.] 

6. Make up one question of your own about something you think is important to know from reading this selection.Then answer your question. Q. What was the speech Winston Churchill made? A. he made the following speech at Westminster College: //“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic,// //an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. // //Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient ////states of Central and Eastern Europe.Warsaw, Berlin, // //Vienna, and Sofia; all these famous cities lie in what // //I must call the Soviet sphere.”
