My history with formal writing: A challenging subject I had been putting off the research paper as long as I could, now I was in real trouble. The night before the due date and all I had was my name and four blank pages. The essay was to summarize the life of a famous person in history.

American historian Dominick LaCapra closely connects the writing of history with the writing of trauma. Sacco succeeds at “reconstructing the past as objectively as possible” (LaCapra 186), particularly when depicting victim’s testimonies. It is under this framework that allows Sacco to include this type of tragic humor; he is not poking fun at the civilians/victims, but instead reveals the absurdity of the entire war.

I believe that cursive writing is a thing of the past and there is no reason that we should continue to use it. Whether in school or in the work force, cursive is almost extinct as we approach the year 2018. I myself was taught cursive as early as second grade with the belief that I would use it everyday.

My Reading and Writing History pt.1 Just like with many aspects of myself many things helped in the contribution of my reading and writing skills. It was a bit difficult in the beginning learning to read and write in English since I learned to read and write in Spanish first.

“Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it.” Oscar Wilde states that the writing of history is not an easy task that can be executed well by many. This is evident in the biases that are incorporated into many authors’ writings on history.
