JFK

The brutal assassination of John F. Kennedy was a huge changer for the American people. It shocked the nation and it shook the faith of many Americans in their institutions and way of life. My answer for part one is that I do believe that innocence was lost after John F. Kennedy was killed because after it happened people were questioning many different things including why someone would do such a thing as killing the president of the United States. In the article we had to read it mentioned though Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone communist, shot John F. Kennedy, many Americans nevertheless blamed themselves for the death of the president. There was a sense that Americans had been tolerant of violence and bigotry in their midst. This had a big psychological and sociological effect on the people, causing them to over think things and to start questioning America and the people in the United State. I also it made people all around the world judge America and the American people in it. What is happening to our country was a very common question for many Americans. Many people also believe that the assassination of John F. Kennedy was the start of a big conspiracy and that our government was corrupt with agents in the police force, the F.B.I. and that even major leaders in our country were a part of. It also even tell today makes people wonder what else has our government done that was wrong and got away with it? What else have they done corrupt or wrong? Who else have they eliminated, or killed, to keep things quiet or to keep things the way they want it. I believe that John F. Kennedy’s assassination was not the only wrong thing that was done in order for the people behind this conspiracy to get what, or where they wanted.

On September 11, 2001 an event happened that will be remembered forever by people all around the world. It is the day that Al-Qaeda terrorists took over some planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center, also known as the Twin Towers, killing so many people that were in the two buildings and some that were around there when it happened. I do believe that people were devastated when it happened I don’t believe that people felt the same way about this tragedy in history as they did about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. For both events the people of America wanted someone to pay for the even that had occurred. But the reason for me saying that the American people weren’t affected the same way was because it was an American that killed President John F. Kennedy and it was terrorists that crashed into the World Trade Center. I believe that the American people were affected more by the assassination because it was done by an American. Not saying that it was more devastating than the crashing of the Twin Towers because that affected people and families all around the country because of how many people, family members, were lost in that attack.

              I don’t know who the person was that pulled the trigger on the fatal head shot that killed President John F. Kennedy but after watching the movie on his assassination and reading articles I don’t believe he acted alone. I believe that the whole thing was a conspiracy and that there was more than one shooter at the time of the president’s death.  From watching the movie and listening to some of the evidence, there is absolutely no way that one shooter could have pulled it off. Plus there were more than a dozen witnesses saying that there were shots coming from a different direction than what the police and government were telling them. Then if you look at the tape you can see that he wasn’t shot in the head from behind, he was shot from the front which means that the bullet couldn’t have been fired from where the government and police told the people it came from. It had to have been from a different place which also proves that it was a conspiracy.  I believe that John F. Kennedy was shot because of his beliefs and what he was trying to do in office for America. He wanted peace for everyone but I’m guessing that other people didn’t agree and they wanted a war so they eliminated him and put someone in his place that wanted the war. I also believe that is why they shot John’s brother RFK, because they wanted similar things and didn’t want the war. The people behind the killings just kept on killing the people in their way and all the threats until they got what they wanted at that time. People today are still searching for clues and answers to this assassination and the conspiracy.
