isaiah 'n kala's essential question reflection

We have studied the question: "Why Do We Fight?" and " Should War Have Rules?". To find the answer, we traveled back to the year 1939, the start of World War 2. In this, we found out one of the reasons why we fight and that is: W-A-R-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We discovered that Mr. Harry S. Truman was involved in WW2 by ending it with the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the famous atomic bomb. For this, we have a poem made by Isaiah:

"Why Do We Fight?"
- Isaiah Garcia
Dear Mr. President, "Why Do We Fight?"
"Why do we battle all day and all night?"
"Why do we have innocent soldiers killed?"
"Why do we countless enemies thrilled?'
"When will we stop?"
"When will we cease?"
"When will all this hate and violence go to peace?"

This poem (which is so beautiful and sad) relates to the world because we fight everyday. Another reason we fight is because we don't like one's race or what they are. In fact, there was a certain person who didn't like the race of the Jews. That person was named Adolf Hitler. He killed over 1,000,000 Jews and injured over 1,000 of them. Here is another poem.


"Don't Kill, Adolf!"
Watch what you do
Watch what you say
Don't make fun of people just like you, Hitler
Don't be a hater
Don't be a killer
Don't be a unusual debater/ driller
Without their race
They wouldn't be different
Without our race,
We wouldn't be different
We are a part of life
We make decisions
We make the choices
We get to choose who we want to be
If you want to be evil,
That's fine with us

In all, we live in war and fights. We also went into the Spanish-American war. We went into it because Cuba was being held captive by Spain and we had to rescue them because there were people from the U.S. there and we also had a sugar business with Cuba. So, we sent a ship called the U.S.S. Maine to Cuba to rescue Cuba. 7 weeks later, the ship was exploded killing a lot of people and over 900 injured. We tried to find out who exactly blew up the ship, but no evidence was found. After many events, we went into war with Spain.

We have had many difficulties in history and why we fight deals with war, race, hate and death. In all why we fight is because we obviously have a problem with a certain thing. For example, Hitler and the Jews. Should war have rules yes because you don't want someone not to be fair, right? that would be the same as cheating on your friend in a History test. Overall, that is why we fight and the rules of war.
