**Dr. Seuss: The Butter Battle Book**

 * A. Why do you think the Zooks and Yooks did not get along?**
 * They don't get along because the Zooks and Yooks put the butter on their bread differently.
 * B. What do you think caused this conflict to get worse?**
 * The conflict got worse because they tried to have a stronger weapon that the other and it just went back and forth.
 * C. How do you think this happens with your friends or siblings?**
 * This happens with friends and siblings when we try to be better than each other and we just go on and on.
 * D. What do you think the Zooks and Yooks could have done differently to prevent this conflict?**
 * To prevent this conflicts the Zooks and Yooks could have not been self-centered and not think that they're right all the time and stopped trying to be better than the other.
 * E. In the story, each side uses propaganda to make their side seem like the right side. Give some examples from the movie/book.**
 * The propaganda that they use is that they always said that their way of putting butter was right, and also the stuff that they said about each other, it was pretty much like they were talking about themselves, because the Yooks and Zooks were the same exact thing, they just never really noticed it because they were too self-centered.
 * F. What does the story tell you about the Cold War?**
 * The story tells us that the Cold War was caused because one nation tried to be better than the other and they used lots of propaganda.
 * G. What would be your ending to the story? Why?**
 * My ending to the story would be that the Zooks and the Yooks would resolve their differences and none of them would drop the bomb and they all live peacefully. I chose this ending because I think its what the ending to the Cold War was and because peace is always better, especially when the reasons for argument are non-sense and no side is right.

** Content Questions :**
How did the Korean War turn into a Cold War Conflict? Why did the Korean War not lead to world war? How does the Korean War shed light on the broad themes of the Cold War?
 * The Korean was was considered the young cold war conflict. It became a part of the cold war when Stalin sent supplies to the Korean area.
 * Beacasue it was not realy a war it was a dictatorship problem. Because the war was confined to Korea only. Neither the U.S., nor its allies who supported south Korea, or communist china and soviet russia, who supported north Korea, wanted to escalate the war beyond the Korean peninsula. The United States, Soviet Russia and Communist China were carefull to not allow the Korean War to get out of control.
 * North and South Korea were supported by external powers and the conflict expanded, becoming a proxy war in the Cold War.

** Opener: Based on Korean War Video: **

 * Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**
 * Provide three pieces of evidence from the video to support your claim**
 * Pair/share responses and make revisions in red**
 * I believe that the Korean War was a proxy war, beacuse the North used the soviet Union to kind of back them up and the South used the United States to back them up. They also brought in the U.N. into it. Also, they competited against each other in a way, just like what the United States and Soviet Union went through during the Cold War. It had started as a civil war but then it had came out to be a Proxy War. By July 1st, United States forces were already inside of Korea. Both had Nuclear weapons that could lead to mass destruction if used.

 * 1) =====What do they mean by its "gettin' redder 'n' redder?=====
 * 2) I see: 2 aliens that are standing on either another planet or the moon, I see the earth thats marked and says Korea really big, I see the sun with a mad face, I see a guy in the bottom right with a question mark, i see other planets around earth, the alien holding a book, text saying "IT'S GETTIN` REDDER `N` REDDER"
 * 3) The two old men/ aliens are looking at Earth, specifically at Korea and are saying that its getting redder and redder because the Noth side of korea was taking over almost all of Korea and they were being the stronger power for a while. The aliens and the sun represent the rest of the world seeing the korean war through televisions or newspapers. Redder and redder could stand for communism.

**Public Opinions Poll on Korea**
[|Public Opinion Poll on Korea]

 * 2) Risk in taking strong steps
 * 3) Korea worth-while?
