Resurch

Hey Brayden, I'm going to tell you about my resurch project. I'm resurching about the american indians. Spacificly the Indian removal act and how that took away the rites of many amrerican indians. I really wanted to learn more about american indians and this seemed like the perfict way to do it. I've learned that the indian removal act was passed in 1830 by Presedent Andrew Jackson. He made the indians go by by with it and kicked them off of there land. One of the most famous events was the trail of tears. This is when thousands of Charokee indians were fourced to walk thousands of miles. Many died and thus it became known as the trail of tears.

Hello and good morning to all of you. I am Meredyth Yorek. I know that in 1830 a law was passed known as the Indian Removal act, under Andrew Jackson. This act allowd him to fourcfally remove indians off of there land, and gaing more territory for american settlers. Many Indians lost there land and rites when this was passed, resulting in many homless people. There way of life was ruened. Because of the americans craving for more land, the rites of american indians were inflicted and they lost everything. One of the most famous cases was the Trail Of Tears. About 2000 Charokee indians were removed from there land, and were fourced to walk thousands of miles in extreem conditions. Many died and many more were wounded. Thus it became known as the trail of tears.

Younger me letter

Der Meredyth,

Hey Meredyth I know this may sound wearied but this letter is from your older self. Ya I'm writing this letter to you from the future. Don't freak out and don't worry this isn't a prank, so just keep reading. The future is awesome, I mean its incredible however while things can be incredible they are bad at the same time. Its just how the world woks. Hers a couple things I want you to know first. I am working in the movie industry as both a director and animator. I've got my own movie business and its doing amazing. Of corse I started As a an animator for dream works and moved up, but I finally reached my dream after a lot of hard work. Thats lesson #1 don't give up on your dreams. There will be obstacles and people who say that you cant do it, but that should and will make you work harder and prove to them that you can. Keep writing and drawing and doing your passion. #2 You cant be good at everything, so excel and do the best in what you are good at. #3 keep on loving and playing, and showing people the music you love. The world is going to be ruined with electronic music and people typing on a computer. Remember the classics, rock and things people actually had to use talent and learn how to play instruments. Don't let good music die out. #4 when you want something done you got to do it your self. Work hard because others wont do it for you. And last but not least be yourself and don't be afraid to do it. The worlds needs every type of person, and it needs your genius. Well I hope these tips will help.

-Sincerely,
Your older me

2. Research, research, research.  Explain your topic, why should we care about it, and what specifically is on your research to-do list this week?

My topic for the National History day thing is the Indian Removal Act, and the rites taken away from the american indians during it.  I believe that this is something that people should care about, because American indian culture is dying and is dead in some placeless today. Because of this act American Indians, who had the right to there land were forced off by americans because they were greedy and wanted more of it. The americans did not hold up there promises and responsibilities that they were suppose to do to the indians. This act resulted in many indians deaths. There home land was taken by force and they were moved to reservations witch in turn killed many of them an there culture. There there rights were taken away, there freedom, and there culture.  This week i want to finish redoing my bibliography and do some more notes.
