"The reason at the bottom of all the wars in the history of human life--is power. It's like a drug. Some men can't get enough of it"

-from Under the Blood Red Sun by Graham Salisbury
World War II goes on in Europe while the people of Hawaii (Hawaiians, Haoles, Japanese, Portugese, Latino & etc.) go on with their daily routine. This story is about a part of World War II, particularly the attack on Pearl Harbor that infamous day in December, 1941.

In this unit, you will read about the different points of view regarding the war and the countries involved. Questions of comprehensive, literal, inferential and opinionated nature will be asked. You are to apply your knowledge of what you read, as well as your past experiences in answering the questions.

The finale project will be a technological presentation.
