Emmett Till, because in our class we didn't really know what happened ti that kid and when we saw the video in class and I think it shocked a lot of us how mean people could be back in those days. People will never forget about Emmet Till because he was beaten so badly he died from it. A lot of people came to the funeral because it was such a big story. I just know that I will never forget Emmet Till's Death, it was a bad event in history.

JFK assassination because I think he was a good president he liked everyone and he tried to help everyone out as best as he could. Also people saw him and his family as the perfect family and everyone wanted to be like him and also he was a great speaker and leader. Finally when he died everyone felt like that lost a father figure and role model and every person in America wondered why that would kill a person that was so honorable and such a good leader and did so much for our country. Kennedy will always be remembered as a great president and an honorable person for dying for country and our people.

Kenndedy Assassination

I think the most important person we have discussed this entire semester is the Kennedy assassination. The reason i think this is the most important event we've learned because everyone loved him as a person and as a president. I also think it was a big tragedy and a big loss. He could have made a big difference if he had not been assassinated. He could changes many things and he could have made a relationship between Russia and the United States and even Cuba.
I think that there were so many important people that we talked about. But, one person that did stand out to me was, MLK. He was such a powerful man, and had so many awesome speeches that really inspired people to follow their dreams. His speeches we're so good because the people could really connect with his reputation. He was such a strong leader and I think it’s important for kids to know all that MLK did. He was a guy that so many people looked up to, and I think that is very important to know. Not only is it good to learn about MLK but its very interesting! I think MLK was one of the most important people we talked about.
I think that the most important person that we learned about this year is Emmett Till. The reason I believe this is because thanks to him we had a great turning point here in the United States. Many african american people fought for their rights right after Emmett Till died. Because of his death they realized that this was a real problem that it could not be ignored. Now thanks to all of this everybody has equal rights. R.I.P. Emmett Till
I really do not know if I will read this summer, but I have read a lot of books throughout the year. I have read books like Perfect Chemistry and all the books to that series, and many other books that I honestly do not remember the name. I enjoy books about romance or mystery.

Important Events This Semester.

This Semester has been interesting, all the topics were important in a way. To me, Emmett Till was one person/topic that stuck in my head! I cant imagine how scary it was after his murder, it was one horrible situation and i'll never forget it, the fact that no one talks about it breaks my heart because i think that he should be remembered in a respectful manner. He was an innocent boy that died so young of something that any typical young boy would do, and to me it's like he died for acting his age. the Emmett Till Story will always remind me of how lucky america/ the world is to have changed from all that hate in the past. I know there so many racist people out there, but it's a lot easier to get along. R.I.P Emmett Till<3

important events

personally i think the most important even in history is the Vietnam war. I think this was a very important event because of all the hippies and people protesting, this split up the younger generation and when the soldiers came back the had PTSD witch made people go crazy. Also, what happens at Kent state was a big issue because people who didn't  even want anything to do with the  protesting go shot at. I think this was a turning point in American history because it was a big part and had a big affect on Americans.

Books

Personally, I like Sports related books and also action books. I like books that have suspense and also some comedy. A couple books that I have read in high school that I liked were Gym Candy, and High Heat. Both of those books are sports relayed, they are action packed and have some comedy. Books like those ones are the ones that grab my attention.




I like chick flick books. I also really like love stories. I will most likely read a love story this summer so i hope its on the summer reading list! I really don't read to many books, but when i find a good one, ill never put it down! Hopefully i'll find a good book for this summer to read !
I have no idea what book I will be reading over the summer. Over the past summers I have read high heat which was an awesome book in my opinion. I have also read Jude which was pretty good i thought. And i can't remember the other one. But ya those are the books i read and I am looking forward to summer.

Books

I don't know what book to read yet but i like mystery books and suspense. i also like horror books because it has both mystery and suspense. i don't remember any books i could recommend but the only book i am probably going to read is the summer reading book we need to read.

President lies

I think it's o.k for presidents to lie in certain circumstances if it's information we don't need to know. That's when the president should lie or when it's top secret information that does not concern us or that could threaten national security. That is why i think it's sometimes o.k to lie.

Books

I am so excited for the summer because thats when I can read a lot! I love to read romantic books and I also like action/fighting kinds of books just like the hunger games!! I love those books because you can never put the book down and I love those kind of books! Over the Summer I am going to read the 2nd and 3rd book of the hunger games and I will also read my summer reading book. :) I am so excited!! I love reading!!!!

BOOKS

I personally like horror books because for some reason whenever there is a lot of violence going on that kind of stuff just sticks in my head. Not gonna lie the only book I am probably going to read this summer, is going t be the summer reading book that we have to read for school, other than that I am just going to enjoy my summer.

Books

I can't really tell you what books i have read because i don't really remember the last time i read a book i did not have to read. I can't recommend any books for the same reason. I don't think i am even going to read a book over the summer.

Lying To The People.

I dont agree with anybody who lies to someone because at the end of the day someone always gets hurt or disappointed. Most importantly, if the govermment is going to lie to people, the'res going to be a bigger problem because then its more than one person thats angry. it depends it the lie is worth telling, usually people lie to save people's feelings, but i think its not right because the truth always saves the day, the lie just gives people false happiness for a limited time, and when they find out, they go cray cray!!

Presidential Lies

I do think it's okay for presidents to lie, but then again i don't. There are times when is it may be necessary for a president to lie. Like for example if something were going on that didn't yet to seem to put the United States in any harm or danger, then it'd be okay for him to lie. Because if the president were to tell the american people, it would make him look bad or as if they had no control over the whole situation. That would make the president seem as if he were weak or had no power at all. But if it were a situation that the president knew was going to put the U.S in any harm, like an attack or war was going to start. Then that should definitely be something that all of the American people should know and not be kept a secret. Because if the people were to find out about something serious like a possible attack was going to happen, i'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to trust the president again.
