In this first quarter of history I’ve
learned a lot of important tools and about the American Civil War. I think
learning how to paraphrase and use quotation appropriately will help me in this
class and many other classes. Going “deeper” into the Civil War opened my eyes
the true but horrifying facts that acutely happened. When I was younger, the
teachers only showed us half the pictures of what slavery was like, but
learning the hard but true facts really opened my eyes. The movies we watch in
class about slavery and the Civil War are great movies and shows the truth
about slavery. Also reading about the far west was really interesting. Learning
about how cowboys were acutely not the heroes and wild guys how the movies and
books portrayed them to be.
I do find history extremely interesting
to learn about. History also taught me this first quarter how empathy and
sympathy are actually very helpful critically thinking parts and how they
really do apply to history. By understanding empathy and sympathy on some level
it helps you understand history better and understanding of what people, in
whatever time period the people are in, are going through. I hope to learn next
in history is more about Americas involvement in the World Wars. The World Wars
really interest me and I think it will be cool to learn more about America’s involvement
more in depth.
