Journal #5: Find information on the Internet that discusses prison camps during WWI.  Describe the conditions of the camps.  Use freighting, telescoping, and splitting the second strategies so that you "show," not "tell." (My homage to Mrs. Don't Eat-the-paste of your 5th grade experience.)

In many of the prison camps the soldiers were treated terrible. They were rarely given food and when they were the food was usually rotten or left-over from the soldiers in charge. The slimy, putrid, rotten, disgusting, filthy, infested, dirty, stinky, decomposing, horrible, nasty food that they were given usually caused the soldiers to become severely sick, ill, depressed, and sad or sometimes killed them. The soldiers were also usually tortured, sometimes just because they were the �enemy� or sometimes just to get information out of. The soldiers were submitted to all different types of torture and if they weren�t cooperative they were most of the time killed. The conditions were inhumane and could also be considered animalistic. Many soldiers, soldiers who had families, familes that cared about him, and loved him, were slowly being exterminated of dyssentary.
