What Fictional Hero Did You Look Up To?

          I honestly do not look up to any fictional character. I grew up with two older brothers and rarely every watched TV; I especially almost never watched cartoons. I always played video games with my brothers or played outside and rode my bike with my cousins when it was warm outside. I played a lot of games inside the house rather than sit down and watch TV.

           

There is a show though that I used to watch quiet a lot when I was between the ages of 3 and 6, Barney. I loved Barney and I would watch it whenever I wanted to watch TV. I had all the video cassettes of each show and whenever I wanted to watch it my mom would pop in the video. He was funny and I enjoyed singing along with him, but I did not look up to him. 

            Barney is a somewhat educational show since he sends educational messages through his songs and dance routines. For examples, kids can learn to count while singing along to his counting songs. I remember every episode will end with the kids in the show discussing what they had learned that day. I think that is very interesting because it teaches kids to think about what they had learned. I would recommend for kids now to watch Barney because I find it educational and fun to watch!

Favorite Moment in History

In 1848, a group of abolitionist activists, mostly women, but some men gathered in Seneca Falls, New York to discuss the problem of women’s rights. They were invited there by the reformers Elizabeth Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Most of the delegates agreed: American women were autonomous individuals who deserved their own political identities. “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” proclaimed the Declaration of Sentiments that the delegates produced, “that all men and women are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” What this meant, among other things, was that they believed women should have the right to vote.

“What is your favorite moment in History?” that is a little hard for me to answer since I was never really interested in History. Since I have to pick, I would have to choose the women’s suffrage campaign/when the 19^th amendment was passed.

            It gave us women the right to vote and before the suffrage movement, only men had a voice in deciding political, social, and economic issues. It gave us the right to be seen as equal to men. Whether we are a man or a woman we are all human and the same. Men should not be superior to women. Without women, men would not have come into this world.

            I would not like to have lived in a world where men were the most important and women were basically worthless. I am glad that the 19^th amendment was passed.
