Slide 1 – SOPHIE Pearl Harbor BY: Sophie Daniel and Haley Hill Slide 2 – HALEY: January, 1941: Japan officers talk about a possible attack on Pearl Harbor. July, 1941: Japanese officers finalize the plan of the attack on Pearl Harbor. SOPHIE: Night of December 6, 1941: A message leaked out that the soldiers by Pearl Harbor should be ready for something done by Japan. However, the message was not received until shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941: The attack on Pearl Harbor.
Slide 3 – HALEY It was Sunday December 7th 1941 when a terrible event occurred. Something that seemed unreal at the time became real. Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii. I remember like it was just yesterday. I had been awaken by a loud bang, and I had never heard anything like it. I went to see if my aunt had heard the same thing, and she had. She called my Uncle Jerry because he was working on the Naval Base at the time. My Uncle did not answer which worried my Aunt. I volunteered to drive over there to look for him, but she wouldn’t let me go until the bombs had stopped. Slide3– SOPHIE After the bombs had stopped, I drove over towards the Naval Base and witnessed the second wave of bombings. When I arrived, I could not find my Uncle, and nobody there had seen him until the bombs had started. I drove back to my Aunt’s house only to bring bad news. A week later, after we had gotten the paper, we finally found him. But, under the presumed dead list.
Slide 4 Sophie After the bombings at Pearl Harbor, the United States entered World War Two. Slide5 Haley The U.S.S. California, Arizona, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Utah were destroyed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. All of these ships sunk, and the soldiers in it sunk with it or were engulfed by spilled oil, making it impossible to swim.
Slide6 Haley: People could hear the whirring of the planes overhead. They could also hear the bullets and bombs. Slide7 Sophie: This is the house I was staying at when I witnessed the bombs. Most people witnessed the first wave of bombings in their front yard like I did.
Slide8 PODCAST Slide9 Haley The Navy lost about 150 pieces of aircraft.
Slide 10 Sophie About 2,300 people died in the attack of Pearl Harbor. Slide 11 Haley As I reflect back on my life, no matter where you lived during WW11, life was very difficult. Everyone that was part of the war had their different experiences. I know what kind of damage the Japanese have done on Pearl Harbor, yet I still can see how the Japanese Internment Camps were wrong. Sophie Everybody suffered no matter what. Also, people witnessed horrifying bombs at Pearl Harbor, including me, and lost their lives because of it. War seems to be considered suffering for everyone, no matter how you look at it.
