TOPIC: Life on the home front during WWII INTERVIEW SUBJECT: Virginia Link (My grandmother)

Even though we learned a lot about WWII and life on the home front during WWII, I found out many more things that I never knew about. I was also very surprised by many things that my grandma said. I couldn't believe how big of an impression the war had on her. Its surprising to hear about how she remembers everything that happened and how she felt about it because she was very young at the time. It was also interesting to learn about how her life on a farm was affected. Like how they had many things rationed,they stayed home a lot of the time, and they had to put blackout shades on their windows so planes couldn't see them. I also thought it was interesting to hear about her reaction to whether or not the atomic bomb should've been dropped. I think that it was cool to hear the perspective from someone who was there during the time. I learned many things about life during WWII that I never knew about and were very interesting.
