When I was a child, reading meant a magical story that I believed would come true when I grew up. Reading today is antithetic to how it was back in my childhood days. Having a want to read, meant that the library would become my best friend. As a child, my parents wanted me to stay active, which meant I was either at a ball tournament, camping, playing outside, or playing games with my friends, but I made sure I read before bed or on my way to and from ball games. When I was in preschool and elementary school my favorite books to read were The Rainbow Fish and the Junie B. Jones series. The Rainbow Fish was my favorite book because I remember seeing the cover of the book with all its vibrant colors that drew me to read it, which looking at the pictures were good enough for my attention span. Junie B. Jones book series were my favorite in grade school because I could relate Junie B. Jones life because I was the same age going through the same issues. The series was popular for children my age at our school, which we made a competition of who can read all the books first.

The Civil War was the bloodiest war in American history. It started April 12, 1861, and ended May 9, 1865, in spite of the fact that many believed it would end up shorter.

Thomas D’Arcy McGee’s assassination was unjust because many of his ideologies and suppositions contributed to Canada’s overall success as a combined nation; however, some minorities saw him as a hindrance to the ultimate creation of a Canadian Confederation. After he gave a speech for a meeting at the House of Commons, McGee was repeatedly shot as he walked into his apartment. The perpetrator was Patrick J. Welhan; he was a middle aged man part of an Irish independence group that McGee later spoke out against. McGee passed away on his doorstep on April 7, 1868; Welhan was convicted and was later hanged that month.

Ruthener Davis and Kenneth Davis were two waves. They constantly crashed against each other in an endless cycle of slamming doors and raised voices. Perhaps it was because they married young; Ruthener was only fifteen. Neither one of them were rich. They lived together in Newark, NJ in a rundown house with six kids. Anyone with those types of pressures might've came to hating their once significant other. Kenneth would hit his wife, and she would slash their tires. They'd scream and curse at each other in front of their children, until finally, Kenneth had had enough. Ruthener begged him to stay, but he'd have none of it. Kenneth left his wife, but not his children, whose social events he still attended, whose house he still paid for, and whose

Lead poisoning in children was first discovered in 1890 in Queensland, Australia. The lead source was not identified until 1904, when a researcher traced it to the paint used on railings and verandahs. The first discovery of lead poisoning in the United States (with a traceable source) was in 1914; the child had chewed the paint off of his crib. At this time they linked lead poisoning as a cause of convulsions in children. As research progressed and more children were found with high lead levels, symptoms caused by lead were expanded to include lead meningitis, acute encephalopathy, intellectual dullness, reduced consciousness, seizures, comas, and death (Chisholm, 1982).

To please the public the industry also said they would conduct research about the effects of lead, but the research was funded by the lead industry so they skewed the presentation of the results to the public. Soon there were also cases reported of lead poisoning in children from their habit of biting lead-painted toys. This time the lead industry tried to distract the public by increasing their advertisements highlighting the benefits of lead using the mascot of the Dutch Boy Painter and slogans, such as “ethyl is to gasoline what vitamins are to food.” However, by the 1970’s with the introduction of safer elements and the decrease in public support, the lead industry lost its importance in the world.
