Part 3 Question:
Based on what you read in these articles, what do you think will happen to Kii Yazhi/Ned Begay in the book?

# data[].attributes.body
1) I think it is important for us to know the Navajo culture and history in order to read Code Talker is because the whole book of Code Talker is from the perspective of a Navajo boy who experiences situations in which real Navajos lived through. Their culture and history are going to be very different from mine or yours, and the Navajo customs and language are mentioned throughout the book. Without knowing their history/culture, we won't fully understand the book and what the Navajo have gone through, and then we might also mistake the book for an event that never happened instead of a historical fiction book. We can also get a view of how the Navajo felt and dealt with throughout history and therefore understand them.

2) A lot of the science advances during WW 2 seem like they progressed, but they haven't, and that is the reason WW 2 was the most destructive war in history. For example, the study of atoms led to the atomic bomb. The few sciences that were during WW 2 were medicine and the Space Race. The new types of remedies save thousands of lives, instead of ending them because of mediocre medicine. Because of that, we now have transfusions, skin grafts, organ donations, and pain relievers. The Space Race has progressed our knowledge of space and our lives. Without it, we would have been thinking just like our ancestors when they saw the sky.

3) From the articles, it is very obvious to think that Kii Yazhi/Ned Begay will become a Navajo code talker for numerous reasons. The first one is that Kii Yazhi is a Navajo, and this provides clues about what he is to become. The second is that he lives during WW 2, and WW 2 is the time when the Navajo code talkers were formed. The third is that the cover and the prologue give it all away. So we can all guess it is safe to assume Kii Yazhi/Ned Begay will be a code talker.

Respond if you have any questions, and like if you liked this.

1: it is important that we know about the Navajo culture and history because It gives us an idea of what is happening in the book. (Sometimes the author includes Navajo info and if we don't read the history of the Navajos than we wont be able to understand the author)

2: In my opinion I think that the Space Race invention was the most important because it would launch things in space and it would need a lot of attention due to it being in space.(it could destroy other things in space)

3: I think that in the book Code Talker, Ned will have to be trained to become a code Talker because he needs experience and need to learn all the rules of sending secret messages.

1. It is important that we know about the Navajo history and culture because while we read code talker because, it will help us/understand a little bit more about what the author is talking about.

2. The most important invention that came out of world war 2 would be medicine (but also technology) because,  I think if they didn't invent medicine many more people would have died the "Miracle drug" did save did save millions of lives.

3. I think that Kii Yazhi/Ned Begay when he goes to war he's gonna be a messenger or those expert Native communications because he is a good reader also writer and knows both languages.

1. It is important that we know about Navajo history and culture when we are reading Code Talker, because we can better understand what he is feeling if we know what he is used to, and what he believes in. Knowing Navajo culture and history will help put us into his shoes, and better understand Navajo references in the book.

2. During the time that WWII lasted, a lot of people and communities had to adapt to what was happening, the most important being advances in the field of medicine. Medicine and treatment had to be sped up to meet the number of injured flooding the hospitals. During and after this time, advances in medicine and treatment had to be made to meet the requirements of millions of injured, which resulted in advancement in the medical field, with penicillin and other antibiotics being invented.

3. I think that at first, Ned and other Navajos' culture and history will try to be erased by people in schools meant especially for Navajos , because of specific laws that go against Navajo people, but then they will be needed in WWII as code talkers to deliver messages in their language that only Navajos know.

1) I think that it is very important to know about Navajo culture because it helps us understand why it was so important not to loose their culture and tells why Kii Yashi tried very hard not to forget his culter.

2) I think the most important invention that came was medicine because medicine is something that save 1000's of people a day. For example many people that are in hospitals take many important medicines and people with health problems do the same and many more people do so.

2. I think that World War Two was one of the most dangerous, yet inventive eras in time. You see, the Microwave was created and other important things such as Nuclear bombs and other weaponry. You see, WWII was a very important era in history and we will keep remembering it until the end of time.

1. I think it's important to know the Navajo culture when we read Code Talker because the book was made for African Americans that experienced WW2 and have words that are spoken Navajo (sometimes) but what the point is, is that we have to understand why the book was made and how it influences the Author to make the book and how it influences us to read it. But we don't really know if the Author is African American and what the history was like back then for African Americans. But we need to understand what was it made for. Like, was it made for informing us about the war? Or is it some type of genre that makes the book interesting and has a bit of information about the war in the beginning like in the first story in the book "Listen, My Grandchildren". But we have to understand these things or else we won't really get why it was made.

1.I think it it important to know about Navajo while we are reading code talker because we need to understand what the Navajos went through, and how their culture was a disgrace back then, so we can have a better understanding of what we are reading.

# data[].attributes.body
(1)i think it is important to know about the culture of the Navajo people while we are reading code talker because  we can be able to know what their way of living was back then and to be able to understand their way of being and their identity.
(2) I think Space invention was the most important because it send stuff to space and it could be dangerous(dangerous because it could destroy stuff in space and it needs to be very careful and it needs attention to be aware) and at the same time beneficial
(3)i think based on the book code Talker Ned will be trained to be a code talker for nomerous reasons for example he gives clues about what be is going to be (a code Talker).

1. I think its important for us to know about the Navajo while we read because, we have a better connection on how they feel and why they are doing or wearing something specific.
2. I think that one of the invents that was important was the ENIAC. I think having a computer that is advance from what they had really helped in the war.
3. From the articles I think that Kii Yazhi/Ned Begay will became one of the code talkers. I think this because in the articles it explains things about code talkers. Ned/Kii Yazhi is Navajo and code talking was for educated Navajos.

(1) I think it's important to know about the Navajo culture because it gives a better understanding!

(2) I think that the medicine was really import in WWII because of how many people needed it at the time.

(3) I think Ned will be a code talker because he kind of hints it and he would also need to learn more on how to be one.

# data[].attributes.body
1) It is important to know the history of the Navajos to understand why he needed to go to the school, it was to make sure that there was someone who could negotiate peace between the cultures.
2) The most important invention that came out of World War ll was most likely the ENIAC, the first computer. This paved the way for more complicated fields of study to be explored, and it's improvements would allow people access to general knowledge.
3) He will fight in most named locations and relay and receive messages from Nihima. I also believe that Ned will not get serious trauma.

1- It's important to know about the history of the Navajo culture and history because if you didn't then you really wouldn't understand why the boy is going to this boarding school, and it would be a lot harder to understand the story's point.

I think Computers is the best invention because computers are used for work printing papers and use it to take control of another device, for example, my father has a WIFI connection device that uses from his computer to make the WIFI better in the house. The down side is that bad people can use the computers to hack other people. But I still think computers are better technology just by the way they use it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what might happen next for Ned is that he is probably going to go into the war considering what Ned said in "Listen, My Grandchildren."
