The Essential Question that I have about my book is how does Ned impact the Code Talkers? I choose this EQ because in the book Ned did so much for the Code Talkers. In the middle of the book, Ned was the one who gained most of the respect for the Navajos and he was really proud of himself. Even the Sargent put a note on the wall, it said that the “Navajos really earned to be on every battalion to protect and sent out warnings from everywhere”. Also another way Ned impacted the Code Talkers because during the war the people in the army would get supplies from the dead Japanese soldiers. So when the Japan soldiers found out they would hide mini bombs in the supplies that they had so if an American would pick it up it would explode. So When Ned found out he sent a message on the radio
The book Code Talkers, and the article “Navajo Code Talkers and the Unbreakable Code” They both use the same information because they both talk about World War 2 and the Navajo language. In the article, it says “During World War II, the Marine Corps used one of the thousands of languages spoken in the world to create an unbreakable code: Navajo” This quote is talking about the unbreakable code. Again in the article, it says “The Navajo Code Talkers were treated with the utmost respect by their fellow marines. Major Howard Connor; who was the signal officer of the Navajo at Iwo Jima, said, were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima.” This quote is saying how Navajos was a huge advantage in war and how they gain so much respect.
The article “Navajo Code Talkers and the Unbreakable Code” and the book Code Talkers have many differences because the article has a lot more background information the book. Also, another difference is that in the book it’s a story rather than information. Also in the article it says “The Navajo language seemed to be the perfect option as a code because it is not written and very few people who aren’t of Navajo origin can speak it.” and “However, the Marine Corps took the code to the next level and made it virtually unbreakable by further encoding the language with word substitution.” These two quotes is about how the language started and how it’s giving background Information about the Navajo Language
