To Prime Minister Bennett:
I was lucky to get a chance to travel across the Canada this time. With starting my trips from BC, I know a lot of people lost their jobs due to the great depression, I can see a lot of relief camps were built to help those people who lost their jobs. People in the camps are stratifying with all the supply they can get from working like logging in the forest or building some sort of public transportation. I feel like the people in the camps were doing so much work but only get paid so little, hope you had notice that, I am worrying about strike will happened dur to the 44 hours work in a week. And for the next few days, when I was on my way to Ottawa, the worst things that I expected is happening, all those tired camp workers wan to go to Ottawa to have a strike, they climbed on the unprotected train only for getting Ottawa. Hopefully Mr. Bennett could solve this issue. I also saw that those churches are helping the people who lost their jobs, they opened something call “Soup Kitchens” to provide people a warm meal, unfortunately, some churches were against women- they only provide breakfast for men, like in Pogey. The effects of the great depression are obviously in all the provinces across Canada, homeless people were all laying on the street, a scene I ever seeing in my entire life. Especially for those farmers in the Prairies. The life quality of famers is highly depending on the situations, at this time period, the wheat’s price has dropped to lowest price ever, and the income of the farmers had drop half already, also, due to the drought, the farmers in Saskatchewan can’t even grow more foods. All those issues are the real things I witnessed, hope you can hook some thing up with everything occurred, occurring out there.
Hope you have a great day.
Sincerely,
An unknown traveler

Respond letter:

My dear wife,

Thankfully I can ready your letter here, my love. The war was going hard here, I eventually find times to write this letter back to you, sorry if my writing is scribbled, the conditions was not so well there. Anyway, hope you are doing good back home, I can understand when all the man like me go to the war, fight for the honor of our country, the female left at home must took all the work of us. I always believe that female can doing as well as man, that with no double at all. With the sufficient moneys, our home country provided, we got pretty much everything I needed, even the gas masks that we just got because of the chlorine gases that German just used in the battle of Ypres, but don’t worry about me, I am doing alright there, I got the gas masks before the chlorine gas spread to my trench, but many of my friends left injured. Though… hopefully, the condition in the trench could improve by time, the water inside the trench just bother me so much, I got to stay there all the time all day during the battles. Let’s work together to get over this war. Long live the queen!

Your love,

Soliders

1. A: Serbia B: Austria C: Russia D: Germany E: France F: Italy
2. This cartoon talked about the alliance between countries in Europe, the different color indicates the different alliance group.
3. Serbia was showed as a child, indicate that Serbia is only have a little influence to others, but when Serbia got involved, a chain reaction start happening
4. The Germany had an instant reaction on what was happening on Serbia, while the France and England were hesitate a while because they were not even sure each other of them are alliance or not.
5. England were hesitating a lot of making decision at that moment, Germany and England was tied up and compete in a lot of ways, so their relationship was ambiguous.
6. So, after the Serbia got attacked, the Austria had an instant reaction of willing to interpret into the fight, when Austria want to do more about the invasion, the Russian get into the intervene, as the Germany were ready for that, they invaded Russia instantly. France and UK want to sit back and relax, but they realize that the Austria – Germany would take over and break the balance, so they starting attacking Germany.
7. a) That could be Italy, it was the only country could interpret with the fight but did not participate in.
b) Because Serbia was a pretty small country with only a few influences, but could lead a different result of the whole things.
c) I think it’s sarcastic, it used the word “friendship” to represent the how bad the relation it was between all the countries.
