Topic Selection Post

I choose Edgar Allen Poe for my National History Day Project because I am interested in him and his poems. Edgar Allen Poe is important to history because without his efforts, there wouldn't be other great poets out there. I think his poems are about his feelings and about his life. For this week's research, I found an article at http://www.internal.org/list_poems.phtml?authorID=5. I will read and summarize it for next week

what i thought about NHD

I thought NHD (National History Day) was REALLY stupid. i hated it. i hated everything about it. It was THE worst experience i have ever had in high school so far. I wish NHD was mandatory. This was my first year doing this and it was pretty hard. The things i learned form this project was that you should choose a good partner, choose a topic that you REALLY want to do, and lastly,...NEVER PROCRASTINATE. NEVER, because if you do..your gonna be so far back that you might not catch up with the other people.

Zora Neale Hurston

Born on Jan. 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama, raised in Eatonville, Florida. She was a novelist, an anthropologist, American folklorist, author during the time of the Harlem Renaissance, best known for the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. Zora Neale Hurston struggled to finish her schooling and eventually joined a Gilbert & Sullivan traveling troupe as a maid to the lead singer. in 1917 she was 26 and still didn't finfish high school. she needed to present herself as a teenager to qualify for free public schooling, so she lopped 10 years off her life, giving her age as 16 and the year of her birth as 1901. Apparently, she had the looks to pull it off. She graduated from Morgan Academy (high school division of Morgan College (now Morgan State University) in 1918. Attended Howard University and received her B.A. in anthropology from Barnard College, Columbia University in 1928.
