My final project is about the things during the popular front like communism, the Slave Narratives, The Ballad of Americans, and the comic Wonder Woman. Although there were ways that they were subdued or manipulated for them not to show up in our history they did. Not only did they show up but the government was called out for trying to tamper with them. This spread talks about these difficult things in our history and evolved them to what we know now. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my final project, one of the things I wanted to include was the Slave Narratives. I\u2019ve discussed them in the most recent blog post I\u2019ve posted; however, I thought it would prove my point even more about things being hidden from us. The fact that they tried to change the story of these people’s lives after all they’ve been through just to make them sound better is scary to me. <\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then just to included that the narratives were not the only thing intrigued me even more. For my first tool, I chose soundcite. I picked this tool because what could be better than to \u201chear it from the horse’s mouth\u201d and have the things you\u2019re talking about explaining your point itself. Just like in the last blog post, I think this is great supporting evidence. The second skill I used was picture annotation. This was one of my favorite skill assignments as well as the pictures I used also very clearly shows the viewer real-life examples of what I\u2019m trying to convey to them. The third skill was Voyant tools. When we first did this skill assignment I thought my grade was going to go straight down because it looked like complicated computer programming stuff. However, after seeing how simple it was I loved it!! I loved the different types of graphs it could make and once I became more comfortable with my historical question I wanted to try and implement some clear data. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first came to the class I wasn\u2019t thrilled. History isn’t my favorite subject and before this class, I honestly thought \u201cif it\u2019s in the past leave it there\u201d, not anymore. Now I\u2019m excited to fully understand the New Deal <\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. This short decade that I often looked over was filled with so many moving parts I was blown away. Before coming to this class all I knew was that Franklin Roosevelt was a president but I couldn’t tell you when he was one. Now I can tell you that he as president in 1933 and reran and got selected for another term. He also created the Federal Writers Project, the Federal Theatre Project, and the Federal Art Project. Those projects then went and made things of their own. The Federal Theatre Project make The Revolt of the Beavers that 1930\u2019s wasn’t a fan of but the class loved <\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span> .<\/strong> The Federal Writers Project made the American Guide Series which preserved each states individual history while also helping the nation feel more united If those weren’t enough, he also organized the New Deal which helped so many citizens even if it wasn’t an easy task during the time <\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. <\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also took from this class that we preserve history in so many ways with the ever-advancing technology we have access to. We can preserve it through archives like George Masons. We also can preserve it through memes like the \u201cabsolute unit\u201d sheep <\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span>  No matter how we preserve our history, the most important thing I took away from this class was that our time and history is precious. Time is forever ticking away and monumental things are happening every day. We should use what we have to our advantage and preserve as much as we can because before we know it those moments could get lost. Even though I\u2019m not a history type of person, I\u2019m very thankful I took this class. Thank you Professor Jess for giving me new perspectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
