Axis and Allied Powers of WWII
Axis and Allied Powers
The Axis powers of WWII which were the bad guys, are Germany and their leader was Hitler. Next is Italy and their leader was Massolini, and Japan which their leader was Hideki Tojo. And the last two countries with the Axis which were smaller were Bulgaria, and Hungary. The Allied powers were Britain and their leader was P.M. Churchill. Also the Soviet Union and their leader was Joseph Stalin, and next would be the United States and our leader was President Roosevelt. There are some other colonies too which were Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. Other Allies that surrendered were Poland on September 1939, and France on June 1940.
The Battles
All the battles in World War II were extremely bloody, gory, and gruesome. Some of the most dreadful battles still remembered today are the battle at Normandy A.K.A. D-Day on June 6, 1944. This was the battle of when the Americans fought against Germany, the Americans ended up winning this battle but unfortunately many lives were lost. Another bloody battle was the battle of Stalingrad which is in Russia and the city is also the name of their leader Joseph Stalin. This battle was against 1 million Germans and 1 million Russians the Russians ended up surrounding the Germans and forcing them to surrender. Like these battles many others were just as bad. Some things that helped some of the victories were Artillery which were big guns and also Tanks which were armed vehicles with a lot of big guns on them, and last was planes which were used to carry bombs to drop on the enemy.
Cause
The main cause of all this fighting was that Hitler wanted to get rid of all the Jews by putting them in Concentration camps. What these camps were for is that they put all the Jews in them and then starting to put them to work. They were not treated well by them not getting hardly any food and little clothing. After a while the Germans would put them in gas chambers and they would eventually die, or they would do other things to kill them.

Why are the kids that screw around on the football team doing better?
Why are the kids that screwed around on the football team doing better at not screwing around? What I think is that our coaches have been running us harder than usual. And also that they have a reason for running us harder and thats because of the kid always screwing around. But our football team hasnt screwed up in a while because the kids that do screw around dont want to run for their mistakes, and therefore they dont screw around because they don't want to work hard during practice. Also they have not been screwing around because one of our coaches said that if we do something really good in a football game we get pizza, and therefore the kids that screw around try to do better so they can get pizza to. And by them not screwing around this leads to an easier practice, our coaches are nicer to us, and we are all nicer to eachother.
Football
Our football team has improved since the past couple weeks because our caoches have been running us alot harder, and also have been getting a little more frustrated with us every time we do something wrong. Therefore the kids do not screw around as much because they do not want to work hard during our practices. Even though our team goes through tough times we are still a very good football team. We have 6 wins and 2 losses and we just recently had a very good game agaist Rock Island 31 to 29 we won with 5 seconds left.

Why are there kids on the football team that screw around?
As a community I am part of the Moline High School freshman football team. Lately on our football team we have been getting in trouble because of people that have been messing around in practice and out of school. So why are there kids that screw around? I think its mostly the kids that don't play during an actual game. Sometimes I don't know why we have kids that don't play on the team, and that when we are not playing football they screw around and then we all get in trouble, this means when we get in trouble we run for a long period of time. And then this results in our coaches getting very upset with us. For instance one time our coach got a call from a security guard saying that a bunch of Moline football players were running around during a varsity Moline football game, the security guard only knew it was us because we all had our game jersey's on. And once again it was the people who don't care about the football team and don't usually play in our games because they were screwing around when they shouldn't be. I think if the kids screw around it is usually if they don't play because if they did play and didn't want to lose there spot they wouldn't screw around. But the kids that do screw around don't play therefore they have nothing to lose if they get in trouble.
