Fea's Research: Wednesday, January 5, 2010

Fea was away from school until Thursday the 6^th, and therefore missed out on a couple of blog posts, but while she was away, wrote up a quick blog post of her own, similar to the last post (which Amberly and Asha wrote). Fea compared the character traits of King Derwin to the actions of the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

King Derwin (Soviet Union)

Trait	Book Example	Cuban Missile Crisis Example
Greed	King Derwin wanted a (fifth?) element to fall from the sky.	The Soviet Union was looking to find other nations to spread Socialistic ideal to the Western World. The Soviet Union feared that they would lose Cuba, a fellow communist nation, to a U.S invasion. That prompted them to place missiles in Cuba to keep the country in the state that they wanted.
Denial	At first, King Derwin refused to admit the disaster he’d caused.	The Soviets tried to deny that they had any offensive weapons stationed in Cuba.
Admittance	In the end, King Derwin admits that he was wrong, and summons the Royal Magicians to get rid of all the Oobleck.	The Soviet Union admits to having missiles in Cuba, and later on removes them.
