    John Fitzgerald Kennedy was an American politician and World War 2 veteran. He later served as the youngest elected president of the United States from January 1961 to November 1963. The reason for his short term was his assassination in Dallas Texas, on November 22nd, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository when he shot and killed the 35th president of the United States during the 1963 motorcade. There were several things that could have help prevented this tragedy from happening. Before the motorcade began, John verbally told his secret service men to “back off.” His agents gave him more space then he should have had in the first place. Kennedy had a love for cars, so riding with the top down was a must for him. If he had not been riding with the top down, he wouldn't have been such an easy target. Lastly, the motorcade route was changed at the last minute. He was supposed to go through Main Street and onto the Stemmons Freeway but at the last minute was changed to turn onto Houston Street, then Elm Street. If Kennedy had allowed his Secret Service man to assist him, did not ride with the top down, and stuck with the original motorcade route, Kennedy's assassination could have been prevented.…

    At 12:30pm, on the 22nd of November, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is shot once through the throat, before being mortally wounded by a second shot, this time to the head.

    On the day November 22, 1963 I was waiting in the streets of Dallas, Texas. I remember I was on Main Street at Daley Plaza in Dallas. I had been waiting there for almost two hours and I had the best spot to see Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy roll down the street waving to the crowd. I knew that Kennedy was coming to Texas because we were a major state that he had to win in order to have a good chance of re-election. In those two hours I heard that Kennedy was giving a speech outside of his hotel in Fort Worth and that he was going to take a plane and be arriving shortly. All I remember seeing right before the Kennedys arrived was that there were thousands of people in the streets just waiting to get a glimpse of the president. I also remember people…

    The 35th president of the United States was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was traveling in a presidential motorcade with his wife and the Connally couple when a gunshot was heard. Most people in the crowd were not too concerned, misinterpreting the sound as that of a firecracker. Just as Kennedy was waving to the crowd, a second shot pierced Kennedy through the neck. By the time a third shot hit Kennedy in the head a few seconds later, the presidential limousine had already been covered with blood and pieces of brain. Kennedy was immediately sent to Parkland Memorial Hospital, but the wound was fatal (Swanson). The White House Acting Press Secretary announced…

    Kennedy was headed to the Trade Mart in Dallas on Friday, November 22, 1963. John and his wife, Jackie Kennedy, were riding in the back of an open top limo, flown in from Washington D.C., through the streets of Dallas. Texas governor, John Connally, was driving the limo and Connally’s wife was riding in the front seat of the limo. Once the limo passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, the limo slowed down as it reached an overpass. Suddenly, as the car was approaching the Texas School Book Depository on a nearby hill, a shot was fired out of the sixth story window. President Kennedy was shot at two times by a rifle. The first bullet hit the back of JFK’s neck, went through his neck, and out his throat. From there, the bullet went into Connally’s back, hand, and thigh. Connally later recovered. A second bullet was fired a few seconds later. It hit Kennedy in the back of his head. He died instantly. Both women were unharmed but the bullet. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, a nearby hospital. Governor Connally sustained three broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a broken wrist. The bullet was lodged in his left thigh. Kennedy was declared officially dead at 1:00 p.m. the same day. This was the fourth presidential assassination in the past two hundred…

    1. Schmitt’s purpose in writing this travel narrative, is to show the differences between the Chinese and American cultures, when it comes to many different things. Main examples in this narrative are; living under the same roof, loss of a loved one, and funeral etiquette. In the Chinese culture it is excepted to come into common areas in your under clothing. Where in America, this would not be appropriate at all. In most places in America, law enforcement would be called on some one outside of their living area in nothing but their underwear and shoes. The narrative shows the many differences in funeral etiquette. One such being, white floors being the preferred color for the loss of a loved one. The family is still very grateful for the gesture, and wants the author to attend the funeral service. Second, wearing of the black swatch of cloth on your sleeve, to identify you as a member of the funeral party. Third, walking in a precession with the casket to the crematorium, and then having to pay extra, so that the loved one is cremated alone. Final, taking the black swatch off of the sleeve and placing it into an outside fireplace, then taking a leaping step forward to help the loved one “ transcend the gap between life and death“.…

    Arguably, John F. Kennedy is said to be one of the greatest presidents to ever hold office in our country. Even more than fifty years after John F. Kennedy’s death, the public’s fascination with him withstands. More importantly, people found interest in the enduring mystery of who his assassin was and the reasoning behind the killing of a President so beloved to the nation. Providing evidence to this claim are more than two thousand volumes that have been published about his assassination, of which, a majority of those included a conspiracy theory (McHoskey 395). Harvey Lee Oswald did assassinate John F. Kennedy, but he was affiliated with the Soviet Union and was not just an independent gunman. Many Americans…

The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).…
