One of the school course requirements is to take a history class. The history class I am taking this semester is Western Civilization. I have an awesome professor who really make the class interesting. Sometimes making history interesting is hard especially when your teaching it to kids who are less than enthusiastic to learn the material. A few weeks ago my professor talked about a list of books he wanted us to pick from. The assignment was to go to the library pick a book and write a book report on it. I picked the book Flags of Our Fathers. The book was a good level read for me. The book was based of World War II specifically the Battle of Iwo Jima. It was a very bloody battle that killed many American lives. The book was a good read. It kept my interest. I was worried that when I was reading a history book, I would find it boring and unable to read. However, if you have to read a history book, I definitely recommend this book. It offers a great insight towards the time period. It was relevant to the time period we were learning about in class.
The book was easy to locate in the library. Although, I did ask for help because I wanted to make sure I found it quickly. Next time I go into the library to retrieve a book I will probably be able to do it entirely by myself. I am definitely familiarizing myself with the library.
