"American History" Content Paragraph.

I think that Elena should have been more upset about Kennedy's death rather than not going to Eugene's house. For example, this is something that is going to impact her life in so many ways and for her to be a little brat and care more for her friend is kind of selfish. Then again she is a litle girl so thats how kids should act. Also the moms didnt care so they were also being selfish. Elena later told her mother that she was going to a friend's house to study, she explained that she knew where she was going and she also said "you are heading for humiliation and pain. " Meaning that she should have been more thoughtful of the situation. History can  impact characters because later on in the stroy towards the end, Elena thought more about Kennedy's death than about herself.
