  17. (The first cartoon)

    Whose story is being told?
    ~The Americans

    What is/are the main idea(s)? What's going on?
    ~The Nazis are taking "down" all of the other countries. The United States is sitting there figuring that when the Nazis come after them, the Nazis will already be tired and they will be easier to defeat.

    Where is the story taking place?
    ~In countries around the world and in Germany.

    When is the story taking place?
    ~World War II- Holocaust period

    Why is the story important?
    ~It shows how the United States planned and how they didn't get hit as hard. Also, it shows how Hitler took down all of the countries, slowly but surely.

    How has it helped you understand it's importance?
    ~It shows me how many countries the Nazis took down, slowly. It also showed me how much damage the Nazis did.
