Spain and Portugal:
Spain and Portugals’ culture is tied to the sea, meaning that they have more to do with other countries surrounding the Mediterranean then the rest of Europe. Their history has more to do with north Africa and other countries on the coast of the Mediterranean. Spain and Portugal’s cultures also have more in common with countries coasted by the Mediterranean. They have the same type of agriculture.
France, Germany, and other countries of Europe’s mainland, have similar cultures and history. They were also tied together in the fact that they were all greatly affected in almost the same way by wars. One war that affected them was World War II. Their agriculture is very similar because of their climate. They have these things in common mostly because they are within the area attached to the Iberian Peninsula.
Spain and Portugal are isolated from most of the rest of Europe. They are on the Iberian Peninsula, which isolates them even more. The Pyrenees mountain range also cuts them off from the rest of Europe. Like many peninsulas, The Iberian Peninsula is surrounded by water. This causes their agriculture to depend on the Mediterranean climate. These are all reasons why contact with Spain and Portugal is very limited.

My Brother Sam is Dead: Litterary Analysis-

At the start of My Brother Sam is Dead, Tim Meeker is a young boy who becomes conflicted between the two sides of a war after his brother joins the Rebel side, which his father is very against. Tim starts out as innocent, impressionable, and very obedient to his father. He also looks up to his brother, Sam, and is always looking to impress him. In My Brother Sam is Dead, Tim Meeker learns that glory is an illusion because he witnesses first hand how values degenerate during war.
Tim sees Sam as glorious at first, but then learns the glory is an illusion. Sam looks for glory by going to fight for the Rebels in the war. He fought in this war for years and was still seeking more glory. Tim, on the other hand, was not fooled by the illusion of glory. He was much more influenced by the harsh things going on, like soldiers killing innocent people and stealing livestock. Sam saw all this and more, but was still caught up in the idea of glory. These things show Tim that the war isn’t as glorious as he thought, and that glory is overrated.
Tim seems to lose his illusions about glory and war when his father is killed, he sees an innocent man decapitated, and watches men steal cattle from people who also need it. These actions show how values degenerate during war. In the book Mrs. Meeker keeps repeating the phrase “War turns men into beasts.” The things Tim witnesses prove this.
