Do you advise them often?” Jonas was a little frightened at the thought that one day he would be the one to advise the ruling body.
But the Giver said no. “Rarely. Only when they are faced with something that they have not experienced before. Then they call upon me to use the memories to advise them.” (103)
We study the past and its many memories in order to help make the right decisions for the future. What is one time period or event in American History that you think offers us a possible lesson for the future? In one paragraph:
- describe a time period or event in American History that you think could offer us lessons for the future,
- include details to describe the time period or event, and
- explain what you think we could learn for the future based on the history.
The civil war is from 1861-1865. The civil war happened because the North wanted to abolish slavery but the South wanted to keep slavery. When the war was over the North won it and more than 620,000 people died and many injured. We can learn for the future based on the civil war because we don’t always have to fight for something we can always have peace with each other so no innocent people die for no reason for an example more than 620,000 people died in the civil war and this is why we can learn from the future based on the civil war.
ReplyDeleteFor your story, I think it would be good if your character was a solider. So, the readers could experience what you talked about in your paragraph during a soldiers perspective. I also think your story should be in first person. First person would be good because you can describe what is going on through a persons view and perspective.
DeleteFrom Keely:
DeleteFor your story you can have your character be from the South and talk about how your character felt losing the civil war and all your character's feelings about the civil war in general. Also, you could do flashbacks from the war for instance the beginning of the war.

DeleteThe Titanic was a very big ship. The ship also was called The Unsinkable Ship. The ship sank because of an iceberg. More than half of the people on it died. The people that worked on the ship and the captain ignored iceberg warnings. The captain said they will be fine. That's what went wrong. You shouldn’t assume that nothing will go wrong if you ignore many warnings. The captain’s name was Edward Smith. The lessons we could learn is never to believe a ship is unsinkable and to listen to warnings. The captain could of saved about 2000 people. If he listened. In the future we should listen and not take risks if you have many people. Only take good risks.
ReplyDeleteRobert, I think that you should have a third person view of your short story because that would give better detail of what had happened during the Titanic sinking. Also, you should add more literary elements to your story to make it sound better, and to grasp the reader's attention.
DeleteRobert, I think that your story should be told in the 1st person of a passenger that maybe survived and maybe didn't, your choice, but have the perspective of the passenger and tell about the rush to get on a lifeboat
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteRobert,for your story I think you should have someone from the titanic who survived the sinking of the ship. Something else you could do for your story is make your story a short story because, the titanic sinking happend in one day, not years or months.

DeleteImagine sitting down on a bus and being told you had to move, because another person was considered superior to you. This is what happened during the 1950’s, when blacks and whites were segregated. A movement to stop this segregation on buses was the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Rosa Parks, an African American, refused to give up her seat for a white man, and was arrested. This lead people from Montgomery, Alabama and points beyond to boycott public transports. The movement was lead by Martin Luther King Jr. and lasted for 381 days. It made bus companies infuriated, since they lost a lot of money. Finally, in 1956, activists won the battle when the Supreme Court passed a rule to abolish the transportation segregation law. A lesson we can learn from this for the future is people crave freedom, and it they aren't granted it, they will rebel. The African Americans were fed up of not being treated fairly, which lead them to start protests and boycotts. The easiest way to avoid such chaos is to give everyone freedom.
ReplyDelete1.If your character is from Alabama make it seem like they don't like whats going on
Delete2. Make sure to say what happening at certain time
Man I have a so many ideas for this. One of my ideas is that you could be a white that is not very well liked and does not support racial segregation but other whites don’t like you but you did the right thing. Another idea I have is be a black that doesn’t really care about racial segregation until they get hurt from it. I feel like I have so many ideas for this one but I don’t want to be the guy that fills a lot of space with a suggestion.
DeleteGabby, I think you could make your character someone on the bus that Rosa Parks was on when she refused to move. Also, maybe put in more detail about how blacks reacted when the Rosa Parks thing happend.

DeleteThe Civil War is a big part of American history and history teachers have surely bored you about it at some point in your life. If not, then soon enough it will happen. The war was fought between the Northern existing states (the Union) and the Southern existing states (the Confederacy). The North was with Abraham Lincoln and against slavery while the South had an economy based off of slavery and separated from the Union to form the confederacy once Lincoln was voted president. On July 21, 1861, the first shot of the war was shot by the Confederate artillery and the war lasted 4 years (ended in 1865) with the Union winning the war and banning slavery. But, this war wasn’t won without tons of blood being spilled on both sides with a total of more than 620,000 casualties. The bloodiest battle on American soil was even fought during this war; the battle in Antietam, Maryland which had circa 23,000 casualties. I think that there are lots of lessons to be learned from this time period but there is one in particular. If we won’t be able to stand as one nation and work out problems with each other, then a lot of unnecessary blood will be shed.
ReplyDelete-Maybe do an Infantry grunt's point of view during Antietam? If you don't know what a grunt is, it's an infantryman.
Delete-Or, be in an artillery battalion for the union or confederate forces
-Do first person so that you may describe what you see, and yes I mean limbs on the ground, blood, etc.
Good job on the paragraph, Civil War is a fun topic.
Your character should be 1st person.Let them experience life in the war and express how it affects them.Give more information about the cause of the war.

Delete1. You could do a African American who fought in the war, but who still faced discrimination after the war.
Delete2. Try doing first person narration let the reader see what the African American had to deal with.
One lesson we have learned from history is taking risks sometimes pays off. The Thriller music video was released on December 2, 1983; at midnight on MTV. This was the music video’s worldwide release; where 13 million people were watching on their television. The music video had major success and was played twice every hour on MTV, since the demand was so high. The usual 1983 music video costs about $100,000 to make. The Thriller music video cost $500,000 to make; which in 1983 was worth 1 million dollars. If the music video failed 1 million dollars would go right down the drain. This music video, and song helped propel Michael Jackson to become the megastar he is today. So if you take risks they can sometimes pay off.
ReplyDeleteI think in your story, the person telling the story could be someone who worked for MJ (his manager or someone that helped out with the music video), so people can see it from that perspective. It would be cool to see the process they went through and the work that went into it in the making.
Delete1. Your narrations should be third person so you can show how people felt during that time.
Delete2. You should do a short story because you should be able to talk about your event in a short story.
1. you should write your fiction in 1st person so that it would seem as if you were in that time period
Delete2. Also, tell in your story some reactions to the music video that some people had and who helped Micheal Jackson become successful.
The 1990s were a great decade. Technology was rapidly developing and use of the internet was becoming popular, people could connect more-which lead to a pop culture revolution. The United States oversaw a decade of economic balance and overall happiness. On July 30th, 1997, the newly divorced Princess Diana was riding in a 1994 Mercedes-Benz s280. Henri Paul-The deputy head of the Ritz Hotel had been ordered to drive, he was intoxicated (drunk). They departed from the hotel, and everything went haywire from there. The car spun and hit the stone wall of a tunnel backwards, finally coming to a stop. The impact caused substantial damage, all four of the passengers died. What can we learn from this? Diana was found not wearing her seatbelt and it is said that if she was she could have prevented injury, this also sparked an ongoing protest against drunk driving.
ReplyDeleteI think that you should add more backstory from the time period. Why where people drinking so much? You may also what to add what happened to the other 3 people. It might make it more interesting.
DeleteGood job! I think you could do many things with this era. First you could have first person narration and be someone that witnessed princess Diana's car crash. Or you could be third person narration and have the setting be a music company and write about what it was like during this pop culture revolution.

DeleteI think maybe you should be someone who survived the car crash with them. Maybe try 1st person narrations so you can make us feel like we were in the car accident.
DeleteIt was a big ship, a good 883 feet long ship with many people aboard. About 2,208 passengers. With only 705 sad,cold and scared innocient people fighting for their lives were left. This ship was suposedly “unsinkable”. It was also known as “the ship of dreams”. But it had sunk in the Atlantic…. The below freezing water had killed most. This ship is the Titanic, and it’s still underwater today.
ReplyDeleteGood information, I like how you described how the passengers were feeling when the ship was sinking. I wish you had more to say though. Maybe add more about the people on the ship (Captain/other important people who were there) and describe how they acted. Or maybe talk a bit about your character. Were you on the ship?Was your family on the ship? Or was it third person and you're just describing what you see?
DeleteActually the "unsinkable" part is not true. They said that is was gonna be the fastest cruise ship that was ever made in that time period. Also if there was a number of passengers aboard the ship it would be an exact number, it wouldn't be an estimated number. The ship of dreams turned out to be the ship of gleams! You could make your character the girl that refused to go on the life boat. It should be 1st person narrations. Otherwise, good job!

DeleteNice job Ashleigh! For your story you can have your main character be someone that survived the sinking of the titanic. First person would work greatly for that so we could really understand what was going through your main characters mind when the ship was sinking. Nice job on your paragraph!

DeleteThe Great Depression was the worst stock market crash as of so far. It had looked pretty good with the economic build-up in the early 1900s (1900-1920s) with everything, but it was a severe drop that affected millions along with thousand of businesses. Not only was the U.S. affected, but others among the world too (the U.S. affected the most, second was Europe). To make the matters worse, dust storms often appeared killing crops and destroying small towns known as Hoovervilles (name derived from Herbert Hoover the early president). These towns were fake in figurative words, because people made houses out of whatever they could find, borrow, or steal. One Hooverville had its own mayor and church. Though this was all bad, the democratic president, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) was going to be their hero. He took money from rich people and the government and turned it into jobs. He also produced a chat show that helped restore the community's confidence. Now during this time the story of the 3 little piggies came which basically stated that if we work together, we are stronger and can cope easier with difficult times. We are the 3 little piggies. We together as a society are stronger.
ReplyDeleteHayden amazing paragraph, I like the 3 little piggies part when you talk about how we are stronger together and how you talked about FDR making jobs from the rich peoples money. Like you explained about the dust storms in the Hoovervilles you could also describe more of your setting. I recommend that you write a chapter of a novel about the great depression because like you said it was from 1900 - 1920s. You could also talk more about the dust towns and how life was like in you chapter.
DeleteHayden great job!!! Your character should be a person who is going through the great depression. You should have 1st person narration so the reader can understand all the stuff people went though in the great depression. I think your story should be a novel because the great depression is over a long period of time.
DeleteSo Hayden your character should be a man from a middle class family who went into poverty in the start of the great depression and then found a great job to get out of it. The narrations should be 1st person. Great Job!

DeleteIn April of 1912, the sinking of the Titanic occurred. Many individuals thought that the titanic was an unsinkable ship with its “double bottom” made of two coats of steel and durable watertight compartments that resided in the bottom of the ship. Some people even thought that the odds of the Titanic sinking were a million to one! Knowing this, it would seem palpable that White Star Line would have equipped a luxurious ship like the Titanic with enough lifeboats to hold all of the passengers and crew members on board. In reality, there were only 20 lifeboats on board when there could have been up to 64. If the crew had been taught how to evacuate the passengers off the ship in case of an emergency, hundreds of more lives could have also been saved, but because they weren’t, the loading and lowering of lifeboats was chaotic. One of many lessons that can be learned is that many innocent lives could have been spared if the crew members of the Titanic were prepared.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have a character that is a survivor of the the accident. And maybe this character can be remembering this event like it was yesterday and have the character explain very clear and with specific details of the event
Delete1)You should maybe express your feelings a little more in your story.
Delete2)Maybe in you story you should talk about how a family member was on the ship and how you miss him or her. 😉👌
ALI! Fantastic Job! I think it would be interesting if you had your character be someone that was waiting for a character that was ON the Titanic... that would add a lot of room for detail and for feelings. Maybe family, or friends. I think first person would fit that well. Also, ADD MORE DETAILS. There are so many places that detail can be so... well.. detailed!
DeleteIn the 1930’s United States was shutting down. People’s life savings were lost in the matter of minutes from a stock market crash in NY. This lead to bank failure, unemployment and people’s lives gone. In 1933 3,000 people were unemployed and didn't have much money. Then it only got worse from there in 1934 a dust storm came swiping people’s belongings and 350 million tons of soil away. 1935 the production of the depression came and in 1936 people were ragged, hungry, and especially broke. People were living on streets in boxes and selling their own children to forage the little money they needed. In 1937 automobile workers, they went on strike and became very violent. In 1938 things slowly started to turn around. In 1940, things did turn around, people started getting jobs and getting their money back. Some still poor but better than nothing at all to live with. The stock market was never fixed but people finally got their jobs back or a new job to get more money. What people could learn from this is not to put all your money in one place and distribute it all so that you don’t lose it.
ReplyDelete1. Try first person narrations I think it would work great in a story like this.
Delete2.Try to have you fiction plot be rising action through the time period. Like making your way through being poor to becoming rich.
This is a good idea! You should do this story in first person narration. Maybe you want your character's main conflict to be surviving the depression. Your character could lose their money and belongings and you can show your lesson that way. Your character can try to find work in several different places which will help you show your setting. Good job!
DeleteGood idea! I think that you should have a very detailed setting of your environment. Also, your character should be really poor and struggling to survive and have to sell one of your children or something like that.

DeleteWhen the prosperous years of the 20’s was complete , an epidemic took over. Once the stock market crashed on October 24, 1929 which sent America into peril over the next week . Banks shut down and people lost all the money they had trusted the banks with. Each day was a struggle for most families, by 1933 15 million people were unemployed. Finally some hope was found when Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president in the Great Depressions fourth year. FDR started right away creating the New Deal which created jobs and created a stronger banking system . In 1933 FDR started ‘’ fireside chats’’ which made Americans feel relieved. Roosevelt understood the needs of his people also how to motivate them . Finally in 1939 America saw hope again. The Great Depression was finally over , thanks World War II many Americans were put back to work . A lesson we all can learn from this epidemic is that, in all bad times there will always be a resolution.
ReplyDelete1. you did a really good job, Anna. I think you should focus more on what people had to go through to make ends meet during the Great Depression, like how they survived and get food and shelter.
Delete2. Also, I would include one of the most important ways FDR helped the country during that devastating time to show how much America has improved since the Great Depression. Over all, Great job!!! :) :P
Anna, Great job:) You should talk more about how the people got food and shelter. But Amazing job ;):):):):):):):):):):):):):)):):):):):):)):):):):):)
DeleteOne lesson I learned from Thomas Hewitt a.k.a. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Or Ed Gein the serial killer which inspired the films was that sometimes it is alright to challenge authority.I learned this from Ed Gein's mother because when he was very young his mother would abuse him and keep him away from people.Whenever Ed tried to make friends his mother would find out and abuse him. Ed Gein would be physically beaten by his mother if he challenged religion. She would make him afraid of god and always read the bible so he wouldn't go to hell. If you are being abused it's alright to ignore them and break the rules. Ed Gein didn't always listened to his mother even after she died. My lesson I learned is if someone is abusing you physically or mentally challenge them so you don't end up like Ed Gein.
ReplyDeleteGood job I learned that the lesson is that if someone is doing something wrong to you challenge them so you do not end up like Ed Gein. I think that in your story you can make up a character who was maybe a friend of Ed and then he had to suddenly stop then later on in his life his family gets killed by Ed and he saw it and now he wants to kill Ed.
DeleteGreat lesson Hoodini! Maybe you should do a first person narration story of one of the victims of Ed who finds out about Ed and his doings and tries to stop him but it is to late.
DeleteGreat lesson Hoodini! Maybe you should do a first person narration story of one of the victims of Ed who finds out about Ed and his doings and tries to stop him but it is to late.
DeleteGreat job Hoodini! You should give some more background info about the killings that way the reader gets a more clear understanding about the time period. I think you should go ahead and do a first person narration about somebody that might have been a witness or is friends with Ed. Great job once again!
DeleteThere were many time periods in the past, I mean common it's the past but there is a certain one that sparked me to write this paragraph on it. The 1950-60’s. Those were the hard times with racism and segregation. Colored people were treated horribly and they were discriminated and treated really badly by the whites. It was a very hard time and blacks had a hard time being themselves but it taught people a good lesson because some folks still have hope that the world would have gotten better in those times and they were right. The Civil Rights Movement was in process and blacks have their freedom now. There were many people who had loosed their hope because of how they were tormented and felt about being mistreated by the white. The lesson you can learn from this time period is that you're never give up on your hope and believe whatever you're going through will get better!

Here are some suggestions for your Historical Fiction Story: For your main character you can have them list or say all of the problems that they are going through during this time period and how this time period is effecting them. Also, this story could be told in first person. That would mean that your main character could express their concerns and how they are feeling to the reader.
DeleteYour topic is very strong and you could have your story in first person so that the reader can experience the terrible feelings of racism and segregation. An idea for your story is to have a moment where your character is listening to a conversation that involves racism and segregation.

DeleteI love your message (Never lose hope). If i were you i would go into great detail with how unfair and horrible life was for black people then. Also talk about what types of differences there were. Maybe your character could be someone standing up for equal rights and youre trying to convince the class to start a riot or something.
DeleteThe Bolshevik Revolution was a revolution that overthrew the tsarist government and turned what became the U.S.S.R. into a communist government. It took place in 1917, in the middle of World War One. The people were starving from food shortages caused by the war, and were unhappy with their government. The Communist Manifesto and Vladimir Lenin were both major forces that pushed the revolution into action. Once the revolution was over, the communist party took over. Things were looking up until Lenin had a stroke and died, which created the opening for Joseph Stalin to take over. Joseph Stalin ended up killing millions of his own people in work camps and accusations for betraying the country. He turned the U.S.S.R into a superpower, but killed many people in the process. This goes to show that sometimes, when you try to fix a problem, it only gets worse.
ReplyDeleteExplain what the U.S.S.R is and how did Stalin turn it into a superpower.
Deletemaybe you could use first person narration
Deletethe narrator could be one of the starving people
maybe the setting could be wherever the war was started
On January 29th 1919 the 18th amendment was ratified. There was to be no legal alcohol usage in America. In 1920 Prohibition begins to take place, and the name of Al Capone is born. Bootlegging begins to take place and become a multi million dollar business to be in. Alcohol was made up of Camphor, embalming fluid, mercury, and jake. They would have horrible alcohol but be able to sell it as if it were gold. In the days of prohibition there was also a major period of time going on called the Roaring 20’s. Rebellion was inevitable but the government thought that this would save crimes from happening. Some towns even closed their jails in this belief later finding they were wrong all along. Which brings us back to the historic Al Capone...
ReplyDeleteGreat job!,for your historical fiction I think you should have a character from your time period who was affected from this ban. An idea for your plot could be to have someone who's family owned an alcohol company and lost it all in this movement.
DeleteI think you should have:
Delete1) have your character be a illegal alcohol seller
2) have your story in first person
The Holocaust was one of the darkest times in history. During the Holocaust over six million Jews were tortured and killed. The chancellor of Germany at the time was Adolf Hitler. Hitler thought Germany had lost the first world war because of the Jews.That one small idea sparked to become an era of death. The Nazi regime forced Jews into ghetto villages. They weren’t allowed to interact with anyone, they were discriminated and they were branded with stars to indicate they were Jews. Eventually death camps were built, also known as concentration camps. Hitler thought that this was the last solution to make Germany pure. Thousands of Jews were crammed into small trains and sent to these concentration camps. The camps starved Jews forced into labour and beat them to death. The Holocaust was one the most tragic times in history. I think there are a lot of lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust but the one that stands out the most to me is that one small idea branched out to become something huge. Hitler wanted to achieve something and he did it by just saying a few words. Those words convinced many people that Jews were bad.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Chuck! Maybe for your character you can have him as someone who was with the Nazi but knew that what the Nazi's were doing is wrong. You can say how the Jews reacted. Also, you could add about what other countries thought about it and how they reacted. But overall great detail and good facts!
DeleteHey Chuck,
DeleteYour paragraph is very sophisticated and engaging. I was thinking that you should have a 3rd person narrative so that your character is expressing her or him there feelings. But overall great job with your beginning introduces me straight into your topic
A great lesson from history is the 'Great Depression'. When this happened, no one was financially stable except for the rich. The Great Depression happened because millions of people invested in material things with money that they didn't have, which snowballed off into the large stock market crash of October 29th 1929. The stock market crash wiped out millions of investors, especially the ones who borrowed money to make money. This phenomenon went on for a little more than a decade, leaving thousands jobless, homeless, without food, without medical care, and more. People were so desperate to get money some people even sold their children! So next time you wanna use your credit card for a big purchase or to buy a stock in an upcoming company, you might want to think twice. If you don't you could end up without a home, and without a family.
ReplyDeleteFor your historical fiction piece, you could use third person narrations, so you can express the feelings of many people. Also, you could do a novel, so you can really express how this effected people even a few years after the Great Depression.
DeleteFor your story I think you should focus on the struggles people went through during the Great Depression. Also, you should include details on how people tried to overcome their struggles during the Great Depression.

DeleteMiracle on ice was a very big deal even to people who don’t even know what hockey was, all they knew was that every winter Olympic games since 1964 the Soviet Union won the gold medal. 1960 was different Herb Brooks was the last person cut in 1960 and they won the gold medal “come that close and get nothing, he’ll stop at nothing.” and that is what happened he coached the team in 1980 putting the players through hours of hard training finding not individual talent but teamwork the result; 20 college kids who have been training together for 6 months versus an Extremely Highly Favored team that have been together for the past 20 years and won the last 4 gold medals for Olympic ice hockey, and the US beat them in the 1980 Olympic semi finals, and to the world the best game of hockey ever played.
ReplyDeleteI suggest 3rd person narrations so you may include the other team's and the U.S. team players feelings. You should use present tense narrations so that you can use strong verbs and adjectives to describe the players' sensation of winning, or losing.
DeleteWorld War Ⅱ started on September 1st, 1939 due to the tensions between countries after the previous world war. The United states entered the war due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, over 2,000 people died during the bombing. The war was fought between the allies and the axis powers, the axis powers were made up of the Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria; and the allied powers were made up of U.S., Britain, France, USSR, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, and Yugoslavia. The reason World War Ⅱ started was due to the previous World War Ⅰ, and Germany’s defeat and political instability. Hitler’s rise to power and the rise of the Nazi party was due to the fact that he promised the people of Germany that they would become great again. One of the lessons I think can be learned from this time period is that it is best to try to help a former enemy than do nothing.
ReplyDelete1. I think that your character should be maybe a friend of Hitler.
Delete2. I think 3rd narration would be more easy for you to write
I think that your character should be a German spy in America. I think this should be a 1st person narration because it would be cool to see the events going through his eyes.
DeleteHave you ever made a problem worse by trying to solve it in an even more detrimental way? That’s what the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor. On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor. The duration of the attack was only two hours, but the damage was severe. More than 2,400 Americans had died, and approximately 188 U.S. aircrafts had died. Why did the Japanese attack? Instantaneously, this is probably your question. The Japanese were tired of negotiations with the U.S. and wanted to expand their empire within Asia. But, the U.S. had put an extremely restrictive embargo, hoping to lower Japan’s aggression. So, instead of agreeing, the Japanese decided to launch surprise attack in attempt to destroy the naval base of us even before official the announcement of war. After this, the U.S. merged into World War II and also declared war on Japan. So, people can learn that we shouldn’t get enraged and make the problem worse than it already is. Instead provide a smart solution.
ReplyDeleteSuhan, you did a great job on explaining the main conflict and adding a lot of detail. Your setting is a little blurred....Specify that this was during WW 2. For your character, I think you can do a 1st person narration about a Japanese fighter who was sent to attack Pearl Harbor. Great Job!!!
DeleteHi John,"Have you ever made a problem worse by trying to solve it in an even more detrimental way?" my answer to that is no. You have a good story and you most likely already have an idea for what your going to do but I think you should have a first person where all your a Japanese citizen but all but one of your friends die and your tryng to survive thing after thing of random events that almost get him/her killed
Delete1. I think around the middle of the story your should put a flashback of you experiencing the attack.
Delete2. Maybe your character could be one of the people attacking pearl harbor.
The industrial revolution had a huge impact on our world today. Without the industrial revolution we would not be able to mass produce products and make a lot of money from that product. Steam engines were invented during this time to transport large shipments of products and people. The industrial revolution also brought a lot problems to the manufacturing industry. Workers worked long hours for little pay. Kids had to work in factories to help pay for food and their family's home. During this time a lot of pollution was released into the air due to the increasing number of factories .
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion the industrial revolution was a big part of american history because it helped to make the manufacturing industry more efficient but also negatively affected the working class with cheap dangerous labor.
mein leiderhosen,
Deleteyou have a interesting topic. during this time i think it would be a good idea to have your main character a boy who was forced to work who ran away and it should be a first person only its being told by your main character after they died.
The industrial revolution was a time of evolution when for the first time in history every thing was not made by hand as businessmen realised the technology to build machines that make things rather than people was possible. In the 1600s it looked like China had the upper hand in the industrial revolution and would be the first to make the advances in machinery, however China had very few resources extra than what they were already using to develop new machinery, and very cheap labor so it never happened. The ridiculously high minimum wages in Great Britain paid as much per hour as over a day in China so paying engineers to make the technologies had a much greater worth to them. The Americans where the second ones into the revolution due to American engineers acting as people with no education working for the factories and well doing so mesmerizing every part of the machines. After that they came back to America and used the technologies for themselfs. Soon America not only caught up but far passed everyone else. Before the industrial revolution 9 in 10 people lived on farms, after just 4 in 10. The industrial revolution brought the price down on many goods, however was also infamous for bring quality down with it. The industrial revolution had put many people out of jobs, many women with the new knitting machines and where charged by angry mobs and burnt down sometimes getting rid of all known machines and planes for more at that time.
ReplyDeleteGood topic. I suggest you should be a Protester. You could describe their feelings and emotions towards whats occurring in the time period. Use lots of adjectives.

I also think you should do your story in a 1 person narrative to really show the reader how it felt to in that time period.
Don't people always say “learn from the mistakes from the past” well today im going to explain to you how i think pearl harbor does just that! Pearl harbor was an event when the japanese executed a surprise attack on a strategic military base and it killed 2400 people. It also damaged almost all of the battleships, planes and buildings in that area. The reason this happened is that the people in the radar tower were new and ignored the signal for the planes coming plus they saw a japanese u boat attempting to enter, earlier. I think what we can learn from this is this had been preventable if we analyzed each cue and took action and besides dont put new people in a radar tower when there is a possibility of an attack!
ReplyDelete1. Maybe you can make your central idea more visible which means we can tell what your central idea is.
Delete2.Maybe you can write your story in a third person like one character in a american position one in a Japanese position.
You should do a short story for your historical fiction. Maybe describe the feelings of the people on the beach and how they felt when the bombs struck.
DeleteWorld war 1 was from 1914-1918, and was caused by the assassination of Austria-Hungary's archduke Franz Ferdinand by the hands on a serbian nationalist group called the “black hand.” Austria-hungary would then invade serbia. Austria-Hungary had a good reason to invade since killing the heir to the throne is a pretty big deal. A Lot of people might say “well, why didn’t they talk it out.” The problem is that the serbian nationalist assassinated the heir to the throne, and Serbia wasn’t going to turn them in either. I’m sure Austria-Hungary wasn’t planning for a massive war like World war 1. Austria-Hungary didn’t have many choices and so they had to declare war. War isn’t always good but it’s necessary and we may never have a world without war.
ReplyDeleteYour charecter could be a person who's in the war, fighting. Or maybe a family member at home while someone is out fighting. Your story could be a short story, told in 3rd person
DeleteYour narration should be first person. Have the main character be a relative or friend of the character fighting in the war. You could be very descriptive. Describe their emotions. Good topic.
Delete-Jeff
Izzy, your character should be someone who is in the holocaust. You should describe the camps and the feelings of the character. You should do a chapter about getting to the camps and what they did to the Jews. I think you have some great story ideas to work with.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Isabella on your paragraph! I think you should do 1st person and maybe have a part about the torturous ways used on you. If you have a family in the story, how did their condition affect you? Anyway good luck and have fun!
