you’re more of a nature person. If any of these describe you than you would have a blast in Utah! I think that the history of Utah is really interesting. In the 1600’s Indians had come in the area. 224 years later Jim Bridger discovered the Great Salt Lake. After that in 1847 the Mormon pioneers came to Utah and only 3 years later it became part of the US territory. The next big event was in 1896 when Utah was voted the 45th state and in 1996 Utah celebrated its 100th birthday! Sadly in 1999 an immense

they had seen the plates. Smith started to preach his new religion. He started off with five settlers which then grew to several hundred by the end of 1830. Smith prayed for more guidance and took the settlers to Kirtland, Ohio (to set up the “City of God”). The Mormons achieved a lot in Kirtland, but an economic crisis occurred, which lead to the Mormons being chased out of Kirtland by the Non Mormons. Next, Smith took his settlers to Missouri, where they left (due to the public hatred
Illinois allowed them to have their own laws and army; he also got permission to build his own city. However, the number of Mormons increased and the non-Mormons became worried. The non-Mormons were also disgusted by polygamy. Joseph Smith was then killed. When Joseph Smith was killed a man called Brigham Young took over as the leader of the Mormons.

landscape. In Judith Cofer’s The Myth of the Latin Woman and James Weldon Johnson’s Outcasts in Salt Lake City, we find tales of minorities dealing with the difficulties of growing up in a country not entirely prepared for their existence.

A movie to relatable to anyone that has been in high school or is experiencing it. “Grease” is the word! In 1978 Grease was filmed and it become a classic. Thirty-eight years later Fox aired Grease: Live! sending an overly excited crowd. Between the two movies there were lots of differences. Extra scenes, getting to know each one of the characters, lines taken out or switched around, and new songs. When watching Grease: Live! I was astounded that it was going to be three hours long.

So why did the Mormons ‘relocate’ to such an unattractive and diverse place?
