Five Paragraph Essay: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (Ana)
People often wonder why I Climbed on the back of the car…... (pause) that's not the only thing you know me for. Some say i did great things. Incase you don't already know, i'm jacqueline kennedy and I will tell you. I was born on July 28th, 1929 in Southampton, New York. My father ,John bouvier, was a stockbroker for the New York stock exchange. My mother ,Janet Norton lee, was a horsewoman. She won many trophies doing what she loved. I had a younger sister named Caroline. I also had step siblings from my mother's 2nd and 3rd marriages. Over the years I was known for many things. What you may not know is that I loved to take photos and write. The biggest is probably for being just one of the many first ladies of the United States. After what was probably the most exciting time of my life I decided to pursue my

writing profession.
At a young age I had written a poem that was published in the local newspaper. I also had many others. In high school I wrote for the high school newspaper. I remember I won an award for my cartoon “salmagundi”. In the year of 1951 I entered in a contest for Vogue magazines prix de Paris. The prize was to spend half a year in New York the other half go to Paris France for a job as the junior editor for the magazine. I was one of the twelve finalists and I won! My mom wasn't to happy about me leaving the country so I had to turn down the prize.
After college I started working in the fall of 1951 as the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for the Washington Times-Herald newspaper. I spent my time Roaming around the city. As I roamed I took pictures of people I encountered, asked them questions on the issues of the day, and wove their answers into my newspaper column. Among those I interviewed for my column was Richard M. Nixon. I even covered the first inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower, then went on to cover the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. During this time, I met John F. Kennedy, who was a congressman.
After we met, we eventually got married on September 12, 1953 at St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island. Then John took me on a wonderful honeymoon to Mexico! In our first couple months while john was recovering from back surgery encouraged him to write a book. The book got published in 1957 and later that year John and I welcomed our first born little girl into our lives. We named her Caroline. Then in January of 1960 John announced that he was running for president. When it was time to start campaigning I went with john, but I soon found out i was pregnant again. So my doctors at the time advised me to stay at home.about nine months later John beat Nixon, and our second child was born. We named him John F. Kennedy Jr. On January 20th I became the First Lady of the United States.
The first thing I wanted to do was make the White House feel like home.

So I turned the sun porch on the third floor into a kindergarten school for Caroline and 12 to 15 other children. There was also a swimming pool, a swing set, and a tree house on the White House lawn for Caroline and John Jr. I thought hard on how to restore the White House, I wanted people to have a greater appreciation of the history of America's most famous residence and its past presidents and First Ladies. I also wanted to bring youthful spirit to the White House, which I believed should be a place to celebrate American history, culture, and achievement. I would sometimes even plan important dinners and events at the White House and invite artists, writers, scientists, poets, and musicians to mingle with politicians, diplomats, and statesmen. Some even say I majorly influenced the world of fashion.My unique and refined sense of style made me a trendsetter, although I discouraged the excessive focus on my appearance by magazines, newspapers, and the general public. I guess you could say I still had a bright future ahead of

me.
Just as my future was bright, it took a turn for the worst. When I had my final baby boy, Patrick, he suffered from a serious lung ailment and was rushed to the Children's Hospital in Boston, where he died two days later. It took me a while to get over my babies loss. But I didn't have long before another loved one died . It was John. We had been in Dallas Texas getting ready to leave. John said he didn't was our bodyguards in the back of the cAr to let the people of Dallas know that he wasn't afraid of them. Things were going great until we hit Elm street. Shots rung out. I was sprayed with chunks of my husband's brain. Half of his head was in his and my lap. But John's brain and head fragments weren't just on me they were on the back of the car. That's what I was doing. I was getting some of his head to try to put it back together if there was any chance. I wouldn't leave his side! But there was nothing the doctors could do. He was dead.
I did remarry after that terrible day. But once again I was widowed. My children were older and so I decided to take a job as an editor at Viking Press in New York City and later moved to Doubleday as a senior editor. That is what I did for my last days here on earth. I developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I died on May 19th 1994. I am buried at Arlington national cemetery, Right next to my beloved husband John f. Kennedy.
