1. It was significant because there would be to much going on right now and with the country already in debt it would just put all of us in debt even more. I also think that it would have been harder for any other president to end it because they would not have all of the knowledge in trying to end it. Ronald Reagan stopping it when he did was a good thing because he knew what to do he was around when the war began and knew the other sides weakness so it was easier for him to stop it then any one else.
He ended the war and all was good things went back to normal well as normal as it could be with the war just ending. He basically got to them and attacked he hit them good and he hit them all at once. Basically it took all of what they had but they got through it and ended up winning it in the end.
I think that this description is accurate because he tried all he could to get the war to end sooner. He was a hard worker trying to get everyone home and tried not to get any one else injured or even worse have someone die.
2. One of the scandals was the hostage scandal. This scandal was when there 52 Americans were taken and held in Iran for 444 days. These Americans were men, women and children. They were blind folded at all times and did not get much food or water. They were important because there were 52 of them taken and America wanted them back and where they were not hurt in was amazing.
They were taken because of money they wanted money and lots of it. They were being held at ransom for like 8 billion dollars. The Americans that were taken were trying to get free but hey couldn't. The people in America were trying to figure out how to get them back without giving them the money. They wanted to get over there and do a sneak attack but hey had to figure out a way to get over there and not be heard so no one will get hurt.
Like they could never mind the hostages and let them die. They could just give they the money, but if they do that they could be called chickens for not fighting. They also could just go over in a sneak attack but they would have to be very quite because one wrong move could get someone killed.
3. The Hostage crisis, Watergate scandal, Cold war. These were hard to understand because why did they happen. Why would someone want to kidnap people? Why would people want to break in the white house? Why did the cold war happen? The only reason those people were taken was because of money. Did they want money that bad they would seriously try to kid nap people? The hostage crisis was very serious but now there are people that say what was the hostage crisis because they have never heard about it before.
The Watergate scandal was when five individuals broke into the Watergate Hotel in Washington. They were convicted as well. There was seven but the other two were convicted for the conspiracy. The break in was actually good because it found otu the dirty tricks that were going on there.
The cold war was closed by Ronald Reagan. Nixon did help lead it though they both were a good asset to the war.

Carl Bernstein
Carl Bernstein
He was the break of the watergate break in. He helped brin out the resignation of president Nixon. For the role he played he got many rewards for the break in scandle. Carl Bernstein was the first person to even think that the president had played a part in the Watergate scandle. He was a journalist. He played a really big part to get him to resign. He wrote front page stories about the watergate scandle even before it got out on who was even behind the whole thing. But once that whole thing got out he had yet again another front page story. When people read about it they were shocked toknow who was behind it the President they all loved was now the person they hated.

"Malaise" and the American way of life
Consider the sections in Yellow and create a response on your blog as to what the real threat to America is, according to Carter, and is that threat still with us today?
The real threat that is still to America today is the gasoline and the energy shortages these are what that keeps on going deeper and deeper. These are even going deeper then the inflation in recession. The big problem is the energy people are using forty percent more energy then what they produce. This is still a threat today because people are still using more energy then what they can afford. The energy affects everyone everywhere and everyday it is because of the economy. With the economy the way it is everyone will have problems with the energy. The problems that we have now will not be fixed over night they will take time.
Consider the sections in Red and create a response on your blog summarizing what Carter is saying about American society, and analyzing America today against his critique.
He is saying that there are strong families sticking together these families also have strong faith in God. The identity of one is now known as for what one does and not how they react. Youe identity is yours and only yours no one else can be you. He is saying that the society will be worse in five years then it has been in the past five years. There are people today that still don't vote I even know people that don't vote adn they don't vote because they don't want to it is either that they don't like who is running for president or the man or woman that they are with tells them how to vote and they don't want to be told to vote for smoeone.
Consider the sections in Green and create a response on your blog comparing his plan to confront an energy crisis with President Obama's plan. How do the plans differ, and how are they alike? How do their plans reveal what they think the problem really is?
The carter plan is saying how the energy crisis is real. These plans are different because Carter wanted to focus on the foreign oil threats whil Obama wants to try to fix our energy problems like for the elderely and the people that are crippled. They are alike because they both did and are trying to fix oil and the energy problem. They reveal ow one is like Carter he told how much oil is imported a day and how much they use. Its like he is trying to say how people use and how much they use. People should have cut down on the amount of oil that they use. Obama has an energy plan telling how much it will cost and how long it will take to get everything that way he wants it.
