Explain the war crimes and punishment. In the Odyssey.

Answer: War was never a no-holds-barred fight between opposing states. War is somewhat like boxing, with rules of conduct extending well back into antiquity. For example, when Odysseus counseled the Greek leaders to blockade shipments of food to Troy in an effort to end what had become a protracted siege, his idea was rejected. At that time, it was widely regarded as improper to extend war to noncombatants in the general population by starving them into submission (this may have been based less on humanitarianism than on the value of the enemy's women and children as slaves). It is noteworthy, too, that Odysseus' successful strategy—celebrated "gift" of a horse that ended the Trojan siege and won the war for the Greeks—which brought victory was regarded as somewhat ignoble, since it was obtained through deceit. In fact, had the Trojans managed to win the war despite the Greeks' ploy, Odysseus might have been vilified as the first war criminal rather than celebrated as one of antiquity's heroes. The Nazi defendant Hermann Göring went further, claiming at his trial following World War II that the most important factor in being charged as a war criminal is to be on the losing side. Although there is certainly a much greater chance of this happening to someone on the losing than the winning side, there is far more to being charged with war crimes than simply losing the contest.

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.
That evening Squealer explained privately to the other
animals that Napoleon had never in reality been
opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he
who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan
which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the
incubator shed had actually been stolen from among
Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact,
Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody,
had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer
looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade
Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the
windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball,
who was a dangerous character and a bad influence.
Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could
go forward without his interference. This, said
Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a
number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!"
Squealer explains to the other animals that Napoleon
was never opposed to the windmill. How does this
conflict propel the plot forward?
The other animals realize that Squealer and
Napoleon are friends
The other animals realize that Napoleon can be
trusted.
It changes the way the other animals feel about
Napoleon
It changes the way the other animals feel about the
dogs.

Read the short passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.

In addition to playing baseball, Jackie Robinson served in the United States Army. Fortunately, he never saw combat. However, during this time, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge that Jackie began playing Major League Baseball.

During Jackie’s time, leagues were still segregated, and Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. Branch knew Jackie would face some tough times, and Branch made him promise not to fight back when he faced this racism, which often came from his own teammates. Despite all of this, on April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues. He led in stolen bases and had an outstanding batting average, earning the honor of Rookie of the Year. In his decade-long career with the Dodgers, Jackie helped his team win the National League pennant several times. In 1955, he helped them achieve the greatest victory of all: the World Series.

What picture would be best to use on a yearbook page about Jackie Robinson to illustrate an award for “Most Talented”?

a bus
a baseball
a pennant
a uniform
