Leaders
What do citizens need from their leaders in government during a crisis?
I think that during a crisis, a government needs a leader who is calm, logical and honest. They need to be able to do what is best for the entire country. During the Cuban Missile Crisis John F. Kennedy was a good leader because he was calm in his speeches and he discussed all of the options that our country had and tried to choose the option that would work out the best for us. He eventually came to an agreement that the Soviet Union would dismantle their missiles and America could not invade Cuba. After September 11th America needed a strong leader. We needed someone who would take control to keep our country safe which is exactly what was done by starting the War on Terror. Like I said before, in a time of crisis a country needs a leader who will do what is best for the country.

JFK Murder
Dear grampa,
For my history class i have to ask you a couple questions about the murder of John F. Kennedy. First, i'll tell you what i know about it. Kennedy was murdered in 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. He was shot in the head and neck. One of the bullets hit Governor John Connelly. Oswald shot Kennedy from a building where he worked that looked down on where the president was riding in a convertible car. Oswald was arrested and killed two days later by Jack Ruby. There are several people who think that JFK's murder was a conspiracy while other think it was only Oswald who was involved. What is you opinion? How would you describe the impact that John F. Kennedy's death had on the country?
Response: There is no way that John F. Kennedy's murder was a conspiracy. It was one guy, Lee Harvey Oswald, he's the only one who did it. The only way it could have been a conspiracy is if someone else in politics had hired Oswald to kill the president. Everyone was shocked and people were sad. America loved Kennedy as a president. There was a famous picture of his son saluting Kennedy's casket after he was murdered.

bomb
There was a lot of fear in the United States at the beginning of the Cold War. People were afraid because they didn't know for sure what would happen. When the Soviet Union created their own atomic bombs that made people in America scared because the Soviet Union could attack us at any moment. Tsar Bomba destroyed homes and buildings hundreds of kilometers away. Witnesses of the ground where the bomb was said that everything had been smoothed out like an ice rink. People in America were scared because if a bomb like that went off in our country it could destroy people and homes and cities. It caused people to be scared for their lives and the lives of their families.
