Answer Questions~

2. On p. 325, answer question 3 

 - Cold War: a conflict and fight between two countries, in this case it was between the 

Soviet Union and the United States. It is the opposite of a hot war.

3.  On p. 327, answer question 2 

 - In my opinion I think the 'Freedom from want...' is the one the Soviet Union believed

in the most because they didn't want the war being an open thing because they didn't 

want to frighten their people nor did they want to become a communist country.  

4.  On p. 329, answer questions 2 and 3 

 -I think one of the biggest issues for the Marshall Aid to tackle would be having no 

shelter and being homeless because the images shown in the bubbles show a family 

with bags on there backs and they're outside with nothing else but each other. Along with

that is an image with people going to a shelter which is also showing the poverty and 

how people have no where to stay because of money issues and having no jobs.  

5.  On p. 330, answer questions 2 and 3

 - In the image on page 330, there is one with Uncle Sam holding a bag of money over his 

back and holding a basket of money as well. A women with a cloth 'U.S. taxpayer' is saying 

"I love the guy, but sometimes I think he's too good!" Uncle Sam represents America and it's

kind of like how Americas trying to hard for it's country and the people are noticing what's going

on around them. Then in the next Source, it shows an anchor type thing being swung down 

which is held by the Marshall Aid Plan, and it's basically portraying how the plan is just being 

swung around for people to just get a hold of.

6.  On p. 330, complete the "focus task"  

- In the image next to the question there is a man holding out his arms, one arm represents the Marshall Aid Plan and one is the Truman Doctrine. It's showing soviet men talking over there decision to which hand they'll chose. I think the Soviets reacted in a surprised way because they had a new choice to chose from and help was being given to Europe as well. Communism was also a major issue at the time so it seems in the reading that they're trying to deal with that too.
