As a young girl growing up I loved learning about historical events. As I got older I realized how passionate I'd become for history. History influenced me because it was not like all the other subjects I had taken, it was different. I loved learning about the past because I could visualize the significant events as if they were a movie playing in my head.History had always intrigued me and by my Freshmen year of high school learning about the Ancient times through modern times, which made me realize how amazing each civilization was. My teacher could sense that I was getting bored, so she suggested that I take AP U.S. history, because she knew I felt uncompleted in regular history classes.Though I knew it was going to be demanding I felt like
Significance: Slavery brought Africans to America, challenged this country to look at all men as equals and made us leaders in the world for civil rights of mankind. Cause: The ability for ships to sail to America and the greed of slave ship captains made slavery in a new frontier, America, inevitable. Effect: The widespread supply and demand for slavery caused civil unrest within Africa and turned many groups against one another. Eventually these groups became part of the slave trade and provided slaves from their own tribes. Significance: This vicious cycle caused economic and political unrest, ultimately weakening Africa’s economic, political and social stability.
This demonstrates how the Holocaust destroyed families being together, and how it affected how history developed through the years. In addition, the Holocaust shouldn't be forgotten because it made people aware of tyrant leaders. For example, when the SS men stripped the Jews, "An SS came towards us wielding a club. He commanded: 'Men to the left! Women to the right!'
He confesses: “What I am about to say to you has taken me more than twenty years to admit: A primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn’t forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student” (598). Richard Rodriguez also explains that how he tactfully avoid hi family’s inquiry about his new-found love for books. He would hide inside of a
Pet Peeve Speech In school the idea that we all learn differently and in our own ways is stressed to us from kindergarten right up to your senior year. I don't disagree with that at all, in fact I feel deeply that we all do in fact learn in ways unique to us. The teachers and staff here at Iron Mountain High School do a fantastic job of catering to the needs of individuals who have troubles grasping concepts or just can't seem to understand something the first time it's explained to them. Once again I'm fine with that, but not everyone needs that much help. Not everyone wants that much help!
Many of the memoirs of the Holocaust such as have this same tone throughout them. The memoirs sound like a modern day text of the Hebrew Bibles Book of Job, a test of affliction and abjection against all natural worldly circumstances to find the meaning of the suffering of individuals. “Listen to me, kid. Don’t forget that you are in a concentration camp. In this place, it is every man for
I hated to do this so as I said before, this teaches that lesson of what’s right and wrong, therefor learning civility. As I got grew up I learned something every year. In first grade I learned that when older people help younger kids out for a whole school year you can really learn a lot. We had 8th grade buddies that were there every morning waiting for us in our classroom to talk to us before the school day started. Our teachers were very old and wise so they knew that this wouldn’t just be a learning experience for the 8th graders but also the 1st.
It also shows you real newspapers from back then and how it outlasted the Jews and blamed their problems on them. When one looks for information on the Holocaust they go to the Holocaust museum. It does a great job on portraying the Hardships the Jews had to face in Nazi territories. One can only admire their strength during this. This is why the Holocaust museum is an Historical

All it really takes is for one teacher, just one, to give you the extra push that you need to succeed academically. For me it was my high school history teacher Mr. Zigler. From my freshman to senior year of high school, Mr. Zigler would tutor me in all subjects to help me succeed and to help me get into advanced placement classes as well. Not only that, but I trusted him with everything, it was like he was my personal therapist in school, being that I didn’t have that at home. It was with his help that
