Significance: World War l had a significant effect on the economy and gave certain countries more power than before.
Perspective: Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries wanted to protect his country. He wanted to be recognized as a hero. Clarence Smith Jeffries was promoted Captain. After he got killed during World War 1
Evidence: this was the first war with unrestricted submarine warfare, the first use of tanks, and the first scale of navy corpsmen working as field medics for the marine corps
Connection: WWI made a great dent in the economy which caused the great depression and later on World War II.
Supposition: If WWI never happened, Hitler never would have gained power because of the Great Depression and WWII probably never would have occurred
I especially liked this idea because we got to create our own writing piece and got to choose our historical person we wanted to write about. I decided to write about Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries. I chose this significant person because he participated in World War 1.
Mariana and Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries
At first, I was with Kyla, Silvia and
Gaby in the middle of World War I, but
after I took another bite of my gummy
worm, I opened my eyes and found
myself in a room with a lot of
people wearing old clothes. I saw
Captain Clarence Smith Jeffries. He
was an Australian recipient of the
Victoria Cross, the greatest honor
for bravery in the British armed
forces. When he was Captain in World
War I, he led men in an attack
and they were able to take six machine
guns and sixty-five prisoners, before
Captain Jeffries was killed by
machine gun fire. I was seeing
him right before that battle and ultimate
sacrifice at the young age of 23. He was
organizing his men to attack the enemy
strong point. There were men standing
and some seated. He went on stage
to say some words. I was just standing there and listening to him talk
when I suddenly remembered that I was in the past. I tripped on a
chair, and then ran and hid behind a wall. Luckily, no one saw me. I
heard Captain Jeffries say, “One crowded hour of glorious life is
worth an age without a name.” At that point I knew it was time for me
to go back to the bus before I too was killed by machine gun fire. I
finished the gummy worm, hoping that time I would go back to the
bus.
