"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.

“American History” Experience with Discrimination

I was at the gym watching the girl’s basketball game with some friends and I was offensively discriminated against being a foster kid. We were just sitting in the back of the bleachers and we were having a good time. During the third quarter of the basketball game one of the girls swatted the ball from the other team, that girl fell to the floor knocking down the referee with her. I stared to laugh a little but I wasn’t being rude or anything. There was an old lady sitting a few seats away from us and she came up to us and start to say that we have no manners and that we are the way we are because we are foster kids. This experience made me feel bad for the old lady because she was being stereotypical and people shouldn’t judge as belonging to a group instead of each person being there own person.

Historical Approach Paragaph.

Understanding history is really important because it tells us what it was like a long time ago. Also, it helps us understand the humankind a lot better. Without history there would be no technological because we would be always inventing the same thing over and over again, pretty much we would have never learned anything from the person who invented it before us. For example if everyone was to eat hemlock no one would have known it’s poisonous because no one is telling them about it. Therefore it helps us solve problems today. We have to learn from mistakes that were made before us so that we do not repeat them.

A memorable day I had was actually today March 7, of 2011. I was heading out of a meeting and decided to get in the car as soon and I opened the door it hit me right in my forehead. The staff that was there started to laugh like crazy. I got in the car and I just kept feeling my forehead and not even within a minute I got a huge welt on it luckily it was over my bangs so you couldn’t really tell. It was swollen, red, and ugly. I will remember this day because it was hilarious.
