Why I Chose This Topic The main Reason I chose this topic was because it really related to me. My topic is actually related to me. It was the only topic that interested me; because I was so close to my topic I knew most things about him. For most people there minds were running a marathon trying to find there topic, but for me, I chose my topic even before the period was up. I was persistent to get my topic. So when my class was jotting down ideas I wrote ideas that made no sense leading to the one that was the best choice for me. How I Researched My Topic In my Topic, my class was assigned to conduct a research paper. It was more than we were objected to do in the history fair. That extra work helped me tremendously. It made me understand my topic, rather than just jumping into it. My website may have looked different, if I have not done the research portion of my project. When I researched my topic I looked up websites. To my astonishment, people actually had websites about him. Furthermore, websites helped with my research. How I Selected My Presentation Category And Created my topic I selected a website because it was one of the most interesting presentations, and had a more unique way for me to display my information. Instead of using A different way of presenting I used a website because you can add all sorts of things like music and pictures, witch makes the presentation stand out. I made a website by Skimming through other websites, and using the varieties of information for the public. I also added a bunch of extra pizzazz to my website to make it much more it much more interesting. How My Project Relates To My Theme My project relates to the theme rights and responsibilities because it starts in a segregated time. It explains how he was soon arrested with little to no evidence at all. There were many conspiracies to how he was arrested. But most of them stated the same thing that it was a different time that treated people with his skin more different. People treated him like dirt on their shoe. Every time they scraped it he would hold on. He definitely had no rights at all when he was just picked off the street and held for a court judging.
