Time Travel: If I Could Travel Back in Time

If i could travel back in time i would learn as much as i can.I would go to my child hood, important dates in history, and try to find important political dates in history as well. and try to find where did my family came from. I could enter a time machine, I would love to be able to go back in time when I was a child. Taking the knowledge I have now from the life lessons I have experienced, I would definitely be able to change my life and take advantage of things like my parents and a high school education. Your parents try to explain to you the importance of school and an education when you are a child, but it is only after when you become an adult that you realize the value and importance it has and how it will benefit your life and future. I guess you can say as a parent, you are going back in time with your children, except you are hoping that they will learn from your experiences and live their life how you wish you could have. I would go back to 1774 when Marie Antoinette became queen, and show her my history books, and beg her to PLEASE avoid diamonds, ignore her brothers-in-law, keep a sharp eye on the owners of printing presses, show less favor to her son Louis Charles in front of poor Marie Therese so that the little girl isn't so prone to bitterness, follow the advice of her mom and Joseph II, try to keep Catherine II on her good side, be more gracious to Gustav III when he visits her later on after his tour of Italy, take no guff whatsoever from those nasty women from Paris, and most of all, be much more understanding and supportive to her husband, who was really a very good guy in my opinion. If she took my advice, maybe that would change how things turned out in 1789, and the French Revolution either wouldn't have taken place or at least wouldn't have been so violent, bloody, unfair and irrational Throughout the Famine years, nearly a million Irish

    My first thought goes to my loving father. He helped me through thick and thin. He has always been there for me. I will always go to him for help. He has helped me through frears, for example when I was scared of the dark. We have been on fishing trips, vacations, everything. He has taught me so much when it comes to school and even sports. He has coached me in softball, basketball,volleyball and soccer. So yea, when I think of someone who has influenced me greatly. My first thought will always be to my father.

    How would you imagine your life as a king or queen in the 1700’s? Surely you would love to have royalty but that’s not the whole point of it. Marie Antoinette, born in Vienna, Austria, in 1755, became Queen of France at the age of 19! She married Louis the XVI(16) when she was just 15 years old, a man she never knew just because governments were interested in forming alliances with other countries which meant to unite their leaders with the offspring of other royalty. Marie Antoinette loved children and eagerly looked forward to motherhood but took eight years to have children. Later on in the year’s causes of the French revolution was partly Marie Antoinette fault which led to the end of the alliance between Austria and France!…

    In 1848, I’d take a chance to explore a few mines that would be filled with gold during the California Gold Rush. After, I would take the gold I had found and build a beautiful hotel near the Yosemite Valley because of it’s amazing view of the mountains. When the Civil War would occur, I’d support the Northern Union States and send them money to use for supplies and defense. In 1865, I’d encourage settlers to travel on the new California Pacific Railroad West to live at my hotel during the critical times in the war. In addition, I would have sent an American flag to President Abraham Lincoln’s grave by train as soon as I found out about his April fifteenth…

    Powers of the king.—The King, Louis XVI, was absolute. He ruled by the divine right theory which held that he had received his power to govern from God and was therefore responsible to God alone. He appointed all civil officials and military officers. He made and enforced the laws. He could declare war and make peace. He levied taxes and spent the people’s money as he saw fit. He controlled the expression of thought by a strict censorship of speech and press. By means of lettres de cachet (sealed letters which were really blank warrants for arrest) he could arbitrarily imprison anyone without trial for an indefinite period. He lived in his magnificent palace at Versailles, completely oblivious to the rising tide of popular discontent. . . .…

    I would have played with dolls a little longer. In addition, wore less make-up and no high-heel shoes. I also would worry less about the number of friends I had or who I was dating. I would have listened more to my parents because they knew more than I could have. All of the things that did not benefit me would be reduced or eliminated. Wow, how different my life would be if all this was possible? Despite the ill feelings and setbacks, I do not regret my past. The choices I made molded me into the person I am today.

    If I were given the opportunity to change something, I would definitely choose to go back and do over the years I was in high school. During my time there, it was more important for me to do things that were more fun than sitting in class and learning. I thought that being in school was only useful for socializing and passing time. I only went because my parents forced me and so I never put any real effort into it, my adult life suffered very much because of it. Not having a high school education set me back in a lot of ways, and it closed many potentially successful job opportunities. After finally realizing what I lost, I decided to come back to school. I finally see doors opening for me now, that could have been open for me since the beginning…

Even though this movement is not greatly discussed in the history books, it does have great significance.…
