The story is all about the world war, many people in this world have power and influenced, but there are few who have the traits needed to be an incredible leader. These people who are positive leaders tend to leave strong impressions in our minds for years or maybe even a lifetime.

Captain John Miller is a strong willed individual with a commitment to his country. He leads his troop through battlefields and dangerous predicaments during World War II. It is his knowledge of combating the enemy, which leads him into a precarious situation.

Captain Miller is assigned the difficult task of finding Private Ryan who is missing along with most of his troop, which was divided after an attack. The reason for the mission is because Private Ryan's three brothers had just died in the war. Private Ryan is to be sent home immediately. The rest of the events that unfold entail tragedies and accomplishments that lead to Captain Miller's final command.

Captain Miller was a powerful leader. He was a legitimate Captain with much training in his position as an authoritative figure. With every command that he gives to his soldiers was need to be follow no matter what it is, many soldiers sacrificed their self and died to the war.

I like the main idea of the story because the story it’s not just about the war, it’s about what strategy are you going to use if something miserable happen to you, and how you going to survive with it, the story was also show of the men and his sacrifices. The story doesn’t have any heroes or winner it’s mainly showing how dreadful the war is.

. There’s one main reason, to stop the war, is to Show that war isn’t something that you should play with. People get encouraged from reading this story, but Spielberg the author of this story put so much violence, the chaos and no one can survive with out and injury or pose-traumatic stress. Spielberg shows that war isn’t a good thing regardless of the reason. The ideas of the story was to show how depressed place in the story. Spielberg used such great idea how to motivate the reader and make the reader feel what the story really is.

Intro to Spreadsheets

Good afternoon!

Today we're starting our next unit, "Spreadsheets." What are practical ways that a consumer might use one? Here's a video clip demonstrating one idea: Wedding Budget Spreadsheet.

Spreadsheet software has evolved a lot since it was first created. Competitors like Excel, Lotus and Quatro have all tried to create user-friendly interfaces and are still trying to simplify the spreadsheet's most powerful tool- creating formulas.

We are going to use Google Docs throughout our unit so that you can access, through the internet, any work you complete at school on your computer at home. In order to use Google Docs, you need a Google Account. As members of this blog, you already have one. Your sign-in name and password will be the same. Click here to log in: Google Docs.

Click on "New" on the left-hand side of the screen and from the drop-down menu, select "Spreadsheet." Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the interface.

Open this spreadsheet: Spreadsheet vocab

Create a new spreadsheet as follows: First Spreadsheet

Assignment: see handout "Intro to Spreadsheets." We'll correct this at the end of class!
