1. I don't know much about the Middle East and Terrorism, however, I have learned that the soldiers are over there fighting because of the oil. Other than that I haven't really learned much else so hopefully i get to learn more during this class. The reason why I don't know that much about it is because people that I know don't really talk about the war and what's going on in the Middle East.

2. Some things I've heard people say about the Middle East have to do with my first question. All I really know is, is why the war is going on. I'm pretty sure it's because we're fighting because of the oil. I'm sure there is other reasons to why the war is going on but I think that's the main reason. The other things that I hear come from the news. When I get the chance to watch it I do and most of the time there is something on that has to do with the war. Other than that I don't really ever hear much about what's going on The Middle East.

3. When I think of Terrorism I think of 9/11 and how we were attacked. I was only 6 or 7 when it happened so ever since then I've seen Terrorism as us being invaded by other countries that we are fighting in the war. I guess I see Terrorism as kind of a frightening thing, but thankfully we have people that have been protecting us a lot better since 9/11.

4. The Middle East and Terrorism go with each other. You can't think of one and not think of the other because we are fighting the war over there and that's where the terrorists are coming from, for the most part.
