    John Fitzgerald Kennedy was an American politician and World War 2 veteran. He later served as the youngest elected president of the United States from January 1961 to November 1963. The reason for his short term was his assassination in Dallas Texas, on November 22nd, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository when he shot and killed the 35th president of the United States during the 1963 motorcade. There were several things that could have help prevented this tragedy from happening. Before the motorcade began, John verbally told his secret service men to “back off.” His agents gave him more space then he should have had in the first place. Kennedy had a love for cars, so riding with the top down was a must for him. If he had not been riding with the top down, he wouldn't have been such an easy target. Lastly, the motorcade route was changed at the last minute. He was supposed to go through Main Street and onto the Stemmons Freeway but at the last minute was changed to turn onto Houston Street, then Elm Street. If Kennedy had allowed his Secret Service man to assist him, did not ride with the top down, and stuck with the original motorcade route, Kennedy's assassination could have been prevented.…

    On 22 November 1963, President John F Kennedy was shot dead as he took part in a motorcade through the streets of Dallas, Texas. Soon afterwards a man named Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and accused of having shot Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas school Depository building . Even though Oswald refused to co-operate and denied all knowledge of the assassination, he was formerly charged the next day, on the 23 November. However, he never stood trial as just two days later Oswald himself was shot dead by Jack Ruby, a Dallas night club owner, as he was being taken from police headquarters to court. As Jack Ruby went to prison and the police had no longer a suspect to question, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, set up a committee led by chief justice Earl Warren, to conduct an official investigation into Kennedy's murder. They were under immense pressure by the public to come up with a conclusion. On 24 September 1964, the Warren Commission finally issued a report of their findings. They concluded that President Kennedy was murdered by a single gunmen, Lee Harvey Oswald.…

    I believe Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone when he killed John Kennedy. According to Biography.com, Oswald was on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository when he shot Kennedy. There were many eyewitnesses that could identify Oswald. There was also evidence of Oswald’s rifle he used that had empty bullet shells next to the gun. Oswald was an outsider and a loner and had an admiration for Kennedy. I know Oswald was the lone assassin because there were eyewitnesses, evidence, and motive.…

    For this paper, the three people I interviewed were my brother Jason, my father Richard, and my grandmother Virginia. I asked my grandmother questions about World War II, JFK’s assassination, and the Internet becoming popular. The questions for my dad were on Apollo 11, Elvis’s death, and 9/11. My questions for Jason were about the Columbine High School shootings, the release of the first smartphone, and the Boston Marathon Bombings.

To start, we’ll look at what my grandmother had to say and work towards my brother.…
