For school I had to enter the NHD contest. My entry was a website about Winston Churchill and The Blitz. The website can be found at http://47433085.nhd.weebly.com/ . I asked a woman from the church I went to during the time I live in Southport, England to give me a first hand account of her experience in The Blitz. I decided to post her story her for others to understand more about this time period.

English GCSE AQA: Comprehensive Analysis of the Power and Conflict Poems
I decided to make a book on all the Power and Conflict poems for the English GCSE exams. NOTE: This book's analyses are very long and wordy due to much information from different sources. Although they are segmented, some may not find too much comfortable, so I've linked main the main resources I've gotten and have attached video analyses from mrbruff, a youtuber known for analyses. Sources are from multiple websites (e.g. BBC.com, madameanglaise.wordpress.com, poemanalysis.com, shmoop.com), which I have combined to make the ultimate revision book pretty much, so please don't get angry at me for copying. Good luck ;) EDIT: Added an extra chapter with some practice questions you guys can practice.Complete
Time Rift: Modern USA in World War II
"Time changes so much, huh? Only 80 years and we have Guided Bombs, Super Sonic travel, and we have reached to the stars." -Winston Churchill, c. January 1942 Formerly known as War is Hell. During New Year's eve in 2023, The US is transported back to December 6th 1941, This is what followed.. Inspired by United we stand, Divided we fall by USMCgamer101, This mostly takes a more 'realistic' approach to it, and a larger focus on the politics and fighting, and spying. There is no set main character for this book. I'm a military nerd, not a politician, if I get something with with how they handle politics and diplomacy please tell me in a constructive way! As with any WW2 book, There may be sensitive topics. I do not encourage Nazism or fascism. Viewer discretion is advised, Gore may be described during large battles.![𝙵𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝙸 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 | 𝐃𝐔𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐊 [Collins]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/121754019-256-k277863.jpg)

Convalescent
When war erupted across Europe in 1939, sixteen year old Katherine Montague had known what she wanted to do - what she had to do. Now, five years later and a trained nurse in the British army, she finds herself thrust into the thick of that same war. But as the fight for the Western Front rages on, Katherine discovers something amid the rubble of the death and destruction around her. Something that will plunge her into a completely new war - one she'd never intended to fight, but has no intention of losing. The war for William Hughes' heart. Love might be enough to win the battle, but will it be enough to win the war? If not, her own heart just might pay the price.
Soaked Tyrants
This is for a project at school. I wanted to share it to people as well. Though it is a "Man in the High Castle" like story. So, if you are sensitive to those things please consider not reading this, but that is it. Anyway, Simon Frank is on his way home.Complete

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]
It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).Complete
