Treaty of Versailles


Well it did save lots of lives but I do believe that it was a bit harsh. It did keep the Germans in place though. But too take away most of their rights. And to make them pay 33 bilion dolllars? Well I think they would have to do that anyways. They limited their army forces to very little. They were banned to have naval air, and their ships were kept to a extremely low number. To top it off they have to be watched for fifteen years. The Treaty was finally issued in the May of, 1919.

How do these texts explore similar themes?


Well in the book most of the words said involve the stranger that washed up on shore on The Island. The first thing they thought is that he was different. An outsider. The colors and the text go great with each other because the colors give you that gloomy dark feeling while the text tells you why the darkness. They put him in a goat pen and told him to stay there. Treated him like an animal.

Why do people make distinctions between "us" and "them".

"Us" as in the townspeople and "Them" as in the strange man who washed up on shore.
