Destiny of the Republic was a story of the life and death of James A. Garfield. It was told in the viewpoints of many different characters throughout the story but mainly in the viewpoint of James Garfield, Charles Guiteau, and Alexander Graham Bell. Garfield was the 20th president of the United States. His presidency was cut short when he was assassinated by Guiteau, and later Bell attempted to Garfield make a recovery to continue his presidency. James Garfield was born into poverty on November

President James A. Garfield was and still is one of the most respected presidents to serve in the White House. Millard 's book is split into parts, each part a significant chunk from Garfield 's life. Millard wrote of Garfield becoming president in the first two parts, then focuses more on his death in parts three and four of her book, and I found what she wrote to be fascinating. The book switched between telling the main events mainly from three people perspectives, which were Alexander G. Bell

Faith and Forgiveness In FYS we were taught many ways to live in the world through the stories we read, speeches we listen to, and the projects we did. In the book, Ordinary Grace, by William Kent Krueger, The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, and Destiny of The Republic, by Candice Millard, I saw a few prominent themes of how one should live.

One such

This man was Chester A. Arthur. The following material is what I have learned in American Government for only but one year, I have still learned more than what I already knew at the beginning of my high school career.

While reading A History Pioneers of Psychology By, R. Fancher and A. Rutherford, in chapter 12, I came across Gordon Willard Allport who was an American psychologist. Allport is known as a "trait" psychologist, who was one of the first psychologists to focus on the study of the personality and in 1937 became editor in chief of the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. Interesting enough to draw my attention other than Sigmund Freud, even though his meeting with Freud was quit “insightful” as

Both Albert Einstein and Ernest Rutherford helped pave the way for countries to invent the nuclear weapon. Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity and Rutherford’s discovery of the atomic nucleus all helped the United States to invent the bomb. In the book by Andrew Futter, the United States began their experimenting on nuclear weapons with the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project- so called because the initial headquarters were on the Manhattan district of New York City- began in 1942 with the
