Based on my research, I would like to dedicate my paper to Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was born on October 18, 1938, in New Orleans, Louisiana. His dad died of a heart attack and later sent to an orphanage to live with his two older brothers. He was a United States Marine, who later in his life killed John F. Kennedy. He was murdered by Jack Ruby while he was in police custody and being taken to County Jail. Lee Harvey Oswald had also tried to kill right wing ex-general Edwin A. Walker but he missed. He then moved to New Orleans for a couple of months, then moved back to the states. Before the killing had happened, he got a job at the Texas school as a Book Depository in Dallas. Where he attended the shooting of President Kennedy. He was mostly known because of the killing of John F. Kennedy. No one could find out why Lee H. Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy. Based on some interview his families and friends went through, they all said that Lee praised President John F. Kennedy. Michael Paine, one of Lee’s friends, who took Lee to a meeting of the American Civil Liberties Union, says Oswald “thought President Kennedy was doing quite a good job in civil rights, which was high praise coming from Lee.“ A Warren Commissioners, Senator Richard Russell say “he was a general misanthropic fellow … he had a desire to get his name in history and all.” As I surf through the web, I realize there was no evidence that said that Lee wanted such thing. He even denied that he was part
Lee Harvey Oswald: as a child showed signs of violence and rebellion He was described as a “latchkey” child who came from school to an empty home. He had no father figure and his mother constantly worked. Lee and his mother often move from one place to another. There was an occasion where Lee was sent to a youth detention center for 3 weeks of psychiatric evaluation and he was described as a “kid who had never developed a really trusting relationship with anybody. He really interacted with no one. You got the feeling of a kid nobody gave a darn about” (Rockwood, 2013). He was obviously neglected he spend majority of his time at home alone, he prepared his own meals and his mother was never home. He never felt the love from his mother or brothers and dislike being around others and at age 14 he was diagnosed with "personality pattern disturbance with schizoid features and passive - aggressive
For my final essay, I have decided to write about the assassination of John F. Kennedy because I find this event one of the most engaging events in U.S. History. There are multiple conspiracies about the assassination of JFK. One of the conspiracies say that the CIA played a role in his death. After three years of his presidency, he was assassinated before he could even reach his 1000th day as president of the United States.
Lee Harvey Oswald was born on the 18th of October in 1939. In 1956 Lee had entered the United States Marines. Within 2 months he scored 212 on a marksman's test. He departed from the military in 1959. Roughly 8 days later he departed the U.S and headed to Russia. He had spent some time all over the world until his final destination in Dallas, Texas. In November 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald set up his rifle on the
On November 22,1963,President Kennedy was in attendance at a Dallas parade.One of the biggest tragic moments happened in U.S. history before the naked eye.President John F.

On September 11, 1959, he received discharge from active service, claiming his mother needed care, and was put on the reserves list. Just before he turned 20, in 1959 he traveled to the Soviet Union. He saved up $1500 of his Marine Salary so he could go to the Soviet Union. In March 1961, Oswald met Marina Prusakova, a 19-year-old pharmacology student. They both liked each other so they started to date each other. In less than a year they were married and had one kid. They settled in Fort Worth, Dallas. In July 1962, Oswald was hired by the Leslie Welding Company in Dallas. He did not like the work and quit after some time. On October 12, 1962 he started working for the graphic-arts firm of Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall as a photoprint trainee. He liked this job a lot more than he like the welding job. Oswald was fired about 5 and a half months later, on the first week of April 1963. In March 1963, Oswald used the name "A. Hidell" to make a mail purchase of a used Carcano rifle for $30.00. He also bought a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver by the mail. On April 10, 1963, Oswald attempted to kill retired Edwin Walker, a Major U.S. General that was anti-communist. He fired the Carcano rifle at Walker through a window from less than 30 meters away as Walker sat at a desk in his Dallas home. The bullet struck the window-frame and Walker's only injuries were bullet fragments to the forearm. Although he was never August 9, 1963, Lee
On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK), was allegedly shot by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald somehow single handedly shot Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, using a Carcano Model 91/38 which is a cheap, military surplus rifle with a telescopic sight. Afterwards, Oswald killed the policeman who had questioned him. When Oswald was finally found and taken to the Dallas Police Station, a large crowd of angry citizens and news teams had amassed. A pugnacious man by the name of Jack Ruby fatally killed Oswald with a .38mm revolver, because of Ruby’s supposed rage over the assassination of the president. Ruby was charged with first-degree murder. Some reporters called Jack Ruby a hero. Moreover, Lee Harvey Oswald was convicted in the court
John F. Kennedy was a man of high standing; he was the 35th president of the United States. He was also a man of inherently good fortune, attending Ivy Prep schools and post-secondary institutions, some of which are prestigious Ivy-leagues, which include Princeton University, Stanford University, and Harvard College. Mr. Kennedy was also a well-decorated man holding medals such as the Purple Heart, World War II Victory Medal, and much more. He held office as U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953, Massachusetts U.S. Senate from 1953 to 1960, and then U.S. President from 1961 to 1963; it is quite evident that he was a man of good fate, as he has swiftly built his way up to presidency in a considerable amount of time. However, his fate began to crumble during his presidency as the Bay of Pigs coup against communist Cuba failed, which resulted in a loss of confidence and trust from the American people. Mr. Kennedy expresses his opinion on the event and the press in his Secret Societies speech, where he asks the people of the news reporting industry to work with the

It was shortly after the shooting when he was arrested with a gun in his possession at a nearby movie theater. He was then later accused of killing President Kennedy.

Conspiracies suggest Oswald acted alone, was framed, or worked with an organization to commit this crime.
After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, there were a lot of conspiracies regarding the mastermind behind the assassination. President Kennedy was assassinated due to him seeking a way out of the Cold war and starting negotiations with Soviet Union. Charlene Fitsimmons, a friend of JFK was told by an agent named Gary Underhill that he was killed by CIA and that Oswald was a CIA agent. He was helped and was set up by CIA to go for it. According to Gary, there were clear evidences of how they made their way through and he couldn’t believe that they got away with it but they did.

Oswald was shot and killed on live television by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner with links to local organized crime bosses.

In his exhaustive effort to answer these questions, Mr. Mailer uses seven hundred and ninety- one pages examining the life of Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald’s father (Robert Edward Lee Oswald) died soon after his birth (1939) leaving him and his two older brothers (Robert and John) in a fatherless home with an unstable mother. Within a short time, his mother (Marguerite) sent his two older brothers to an orphanage. Oswald was three when his mother sent him to an orphanage.

Yes, because some people saw that Lee Harvey was seeing him on the sixth floor when John F. Kennedy was shot. The police evidence suggested that Lee Harvey Oswald was not part of the conspiracy, but assassinated the president was his own initiative.
