Napoleon Theme Park

In Social Studies class, we read this article. It talks about a theme park based on Napoleon Bonaparte. It's supposedly going to be finished in 2014 and is supposed to inspire people to like history. I think it's a good idea. It inspires many young people in France to learn about their history. It also makes them more patriotic and supportive towards their country because the theme park will most likely show them the good things that Napoleon did. I like how they do this; some people don't prefer learning about history through books and notes.I believe that this also inspires people in other countries to make something like this theme park. It's an effective way to make people enthusiastic when learning about their country's heroes/past. Personally, my favorite part of the theme park would be the battle reenactments; it's really cool to see how the battles happened.

courage!

It's been a while since you saw a post from me, right? Well, I'm back!


So my topic for today is- 
"Do we have to be born with courage or can we develop it?" 


In my opinion, I think that it's something we can all develop. This is because we have to show courage every day! For example, some people in our grade have gotten injuries or surgery, and they have to show physical courage when they are getting it taken care of or when they have to get up and do something. Another example of how we use courage is intellectual courage, like speaking up in class and answering questions! We build onto these types of courage every day, whether you realize it or not. As you get more confident in yourself, your courage gets stronger. Have you gone through a lot of difficulties lately? If so, you've probably felt sad, frustrated, or stressed. If you're able to deal with these feelings, you've been displaying emotional courage. There are many other types of courage, such as social courage [speaking against something that is wrong], moral courage [doing the right thing], and spiritual courage [believing your beliefs and respecting others' beliefs]. They all have probably played a big part in your life already, and you might not have even realized it! So, in conclusion, courage is something we all have, we're not just born with it. We develop it every day.
