Today in sose we had a test on map drawing. We had to draw a plan view map of a satellite image. I used colours such as green, blue, red, black and yellow. Green represented grass and forestry, blue represented water, red represented buildings and houses, black represented roads and highways and yellow represented sand and beach. This is my map
I played a simulation which is a game. It was called sweatshop and I had to make 3 pairs of shoes in one day, but I came across problems such as hunger, thirst and things my children needed like new shoes. Unfortunately, I did not have enough money to buy some of these things. If I did not buy food or water when I needed it, my vision would start to deteriorate and I would evetntually die.

She joined the Australian army nursing service. On February 12, Vivian and 65 other nurses boarded the SS Vyner Brooke to escape the island. 2 days later, the ship was sunk by a Japanese aircraft. Vivian, 21 other nurses, a large group of men, women and children made it ashore. At Radji Beach Banka Island they were joined by approximately 100 British soldiers, they all voted to surrender to the Japanese. Vivian was struck by a bullet and pretended to be dead until the Japanese left. She hid with a British soldier for 12 days, but surrendered again,the British soldier died not long after surrendering. Vivian was reunited with the survivors ofVyner Brooke. Vivian spent 3 and a half years in captivity.

Returned soldier
One in eight soldiers returned from service during the first year of the war in Iraq, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress or an other mental illness. More than one third of veterans had undergone psychological help in the year after returning.Computerized medical records of 300,000 soldiers are thought to be the most correct indicator to date of the percentage of soldiers needing mental health services. During the Persian war the rate of post-traumatic stress amongst the combat soldiers was approximately 10%-20%. Post traumatic stress is one of the issues facing Iraq veterans. Experts speculate that the percentage may grow in years to come. Stress disorders often take months or years to appear. Out of 38 men one man shot himself to go home, seven got divorces, one went to a mental institution, and one killed himself. not everyone returns from war with post-traumatic stress, but none returns unchanged.
