OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

All you have to do is answer a simple question, what is so hard?

alones (alones):

It's hard, I still have no idea /.\

alones (alones):

Shad so it's hard for you too >.>

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

what do they mean by "storm"?

alones (alones):

I don't know /.<

alones (alones):

@mathmale can you help me? i'm stuck;~;

OpenStudy (mathmale):

In this context, "storm" means "attack" or "move forward aggressively towards something."

alones (alones):

Oh yea i though so, they wanted to break it down

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

...

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The Berlin Wall went up in 1961, and certainly was not "stormed" the first day it existed. Rather, in 1989 Berliners "stormed" the wall." What do you know about the history of Berlin that might give you a clue as to why they'd do that?

alones (alones):

Shad thank for helping >.>

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

@mathmale You have to tell @AloneS some facts in order for her to form an opinion.

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

A dry river can't give you water at dinner

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

alones (alones):

Yea it's all about the wall

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please try to answer my question of 3 minutes back.

alones (alones):

Well the green wall was builded cuz the east germany had communism. and west side was free so, East German authorities built a wall that separated half of germany...

alones (alones):

**Berlin Wall

OpenStudy (mathmale):

(While you're typing) Have you tried looking up "storming of the Berlin Wall, 1989"?

alones (alones):

No i haven't

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Perhaps you should. Interesting story. I've actually been to Berlin before the Wall came down and after it came down. Our President Reagan, addressing Soviet President Mikhael Gorbachev, said, "Mr. President, tear down that Wall." This was one of the events which eventually resulted in many Eastern European countries declaring their independence from the Soviets and seeking freedom.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please, take a moment, Google "storming of the Berlin Wall, 1989" to see what comes up. Doing so would give you more background than my brief summary (above). I need to excuse myself, but will be back on O. S. in an hour or two.

alones (alones):

okay thanks
