"We really should think about getting home," Hannah said. Searching through each book had been tedious thanks to Will's insistence that the pages be handled like rice paper. He stopped short of making them wear gloves, but insisted the pages be touched only along the edges. As a result, after nearly an hour they still had only poured through about thirty books. "We don't want to over stay our welcome," Hannah urged Will again. "We'll come back." "I guess you're right," Will agreed and stood from the floor of the library and stretched. He walked to one of the floor-to-ceiling bookcases that flanked each side of the fireplace, studying them with what looked like admiration stamped across his forehead. "But you should keep at it." He turned to Nate. "You might want to do some research on the Underground Railroad too." "Can't," Nate told him. "I don't have a computer." Will drummed his fingers against the mantle. "If only you had access to something like, oh, I don't know... books? Yeah, encyclopedias for example." Will stopped drumming and ran a hand across the spine of a row of encyclopedias. "You see, before the Internet, there were these things called 'books' with all sorts of information in them." Nathan squinted at the row of books. He couldn't remember the last time he had used a real encyclopedia for research. Now he was embarrassed the logic had escaped him. "Sounds like a plan," he agreed with an awkward smile. "How are you guys getting home?" he asked, changing the subject and hoping to regain the appearance of intelligence. "'Cause I might be able to help you out there." "How do you mean?" Hannah asked. "I can drive you. Hajji's car is still in the woods." "You have a license?" Hannah asked, looking imp... ... middle of paper ... ...me of those books are as old as the house," Granddad said. "I remember watching them collect dust on the shelves when I was a kid. My dad didn't care to read about how to farm, he just did it. And I could never muster enough interest in them. I hope your friends can find some use for them." "Yeah," Nate said. "We hope they'll be useful too." "It's refreshing to see young people this interested in history. You know what they say. 'Those who forget their history―'" "Are doomed to repeat it," Nate finished. "Very good, Nathan. The only reason we don't repeat the atrocities of the past is because we have learned from them." His granddad patted his back and walked into the house. Nate wasn't concern about repeating an atrocity, but how to disprove one. He followed his granddad into the house. If there was a clue inside those old books, he needed to find it.
“We’re going to print out copies of the books we have remembered over the years that we have stored, and share with the leftover survivors that we have been found.”
“Why, blame it all, we’ve got to do it. Don’t I tell you it’s in the books? Do you want to go to doing different from what’s in the books, and get things all muddled up?”

As educators and students, we should be able to trust that the truth about our past is what is being taught to today’s youth. The majority of our youth despises history; history is usually ranked last among the favorite subjects of students. American history textbooks all seem to follow the same storybook technique; therefore, students tend to take a snooze in class rather than learning about what has given them the freedom to sit in a classroom and learn. What if what is being taught in classrooms is not the complete truth, though? James Loewen dove deep into the true history of our past in Lies My Teacher Told Me. James Loewen has studied over eighteen American History textbooks over the years, and he discovered one common theme throughout each of the ...
“Well please be careful and please stay with the rest of the group so you don 't get lost! And I hope you have a fun time there.”
"I suppose I can," Will shrugs, pushing back the covers. "Where are we going, anyway?'
Melinda smiled. “Be true to yourself, and do not let this world consume you. I look forward to seeing you again.”
History is dedicated to those who went before us, so that, upon reflection, we can learn from them, without repeating their mistakes, experiencing or inflicting their pain. This quote, attributed to an anonymous source, showcases the deep understanding that all people should have. Without this direct insight, a generation will be ignorant to the hardships of their past, and will end up in a cycle of failure. This is why history is so vitally important to our society; because we must look back in order to keep moving forward. History should be studied because it is essential to individuals and to society, and because it harbors beauty (Stearns). It is not some meager thing to sit on a shelf and ignore, but a bountiful treasure trove of wisdom. Sadly, it seems that our generation has become so engulfed in the highlight of the here and now that we have neglected learning about our ancestors. Educators of history, whether it is American, European, or another, are the key to helping students progress not only as scholars of the field, but as worldly human beings. Without the proper knowledge and guidance, history repeats itself. How do history teachers shape students to educate them about the past and keep the mistakes of our predecessors from happening again?
"This is Chanyeol's book, most likely." He muttered. "I doubt you'll read something so childish."
“No no stop!” Tiffany protested. She flitted away from his nose. “They aren’t there. FIora and I tried to stop the humansn, but they took them all. Took them to some place called the Smithsonian. A museum. I’m not sure what that is, but they said they wanted to research them.”
‘I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly. “She’ll see.’
Mr. Foghorn exhaled out of his nose and straightened his jacket. “I wish there was something I could do, I really do. The stores won’t even buy your books.”
History is very important for everyone, and everyone should learn about history. Learning History can help to learn about people situation and life from the past. It also helps to know about many events and even some fact from the past. When people want to learn history, they should search about any subject or event from the past and tries to learn the both side of the subject. They also need to try to find what is hidden from that subject, so they can learn more about it. They also need to find out who wrote the subject that they learn about, for not all the historian show the bad side of the event, and they just show the good side. When people know they both side the can have a good judgment about the event. For example, before taking the
Studying history involves both student and instructor in interactive conversations about historical events created by the actions (or inactions) taken by both elite and non-elite people in the course of their daily lives. My role as the teacher is to enable students to obtain an historical context through which they can understand the motivations behind the decisions made by historical figures, critically evaluate those motivations, and assess the significance of the actions taken as they analyze the events themselves. More importantly, I want my students to understand, intellectually and emotionally, that their present lives are the result of these historical events, events created by imperfect beings very much like themselves who often did
