President JFK's death

Mary Potter is a podcast that explores different historical events. In this episode, Mary compares two articles about JFK's death. The first article, "American History," is a memoir that focuses on emotions and perspectives. The second article discusses the conspiracy theory behind JFK's assassination and provides factual information. Mary gives examples of figurative language used in "American History" and shares details from the assassination article. She concludes that the assassination article is more detailed and informative. Mary also mentions that she learned new information about the timing of JFK's assassination and highlights the presence of Jacqueline Kennedy. The episode ends with a preview of the next topic, Queen Elizabeth's death. Hi, my name is Mary, and you're listening to Mary Potter. Was JFK's death all a conspiracy?

The first article is called American History by Judith Ordiz-Coffer. It is a narrative memoir about a girl named Elena and her obsession with her crush. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is an informational article about JFK's death and the conspiracy theory behind it. These two texts are both about a historical event, but the purpose of American History is to show others' point of view, emotions, and much more. Well, the purpose of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is to talk about his death and how, where, and why it happened. A quote that I seem to enjoy that shows lots of figurative language from American History is, That night, I lay in my bed trying to feel the right feeling for our dead president, but the tears that came up from a deep source inside me were strictly for me. I felt like this quote was an amazing quote to include due to the fact that it's showing how sad she is, but it's not being sad for the death of JFK. It's being sad that she can't be with her crush, which is also sad. A quote that illustrates purpose from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy I chose was, In Texas, at a school book depository building at 12.30pm, Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired three shots from the sixth floor. I felt like this was important to include in this podcast because this article gives more, well quote, gives more information and detail like where he was shot, how many shots, like who, and I felt like it just like enriches it, enriches, enriches the story, or article. In American History, the author uses figurative language to enrich the message, while the author of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy uses informational facts. Judith Ortez-Coffer uses figurative language in her memoir to give the perspective of people's, characters' feelings, emotions, and can help you, in a way, create an image in your mind. One quote that illustrates perspective in this quote is, In American History is, What do you want? Her voice was tiny and sweet, sounding like a little girl, but her tone was not friendly. I felt like it showed like how, it was using simile, and I felt like it was showing like how her voice is very sweet, and like honey, and like, you know, honey, sugary, but she's not very kind, this character. A quote that illustrates perspective from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Oswald killed a policeman who questioned him on a street near his rooming house in Dallas. I felt like this kind of demonstrates the author's perspective of like a way to give detailed information, while also kind of like giving it in like almost a third-person point of view. So, another thing, I felt like, you know, the JFK assassination article was more favored over the American History, because the article has more detail than the narrative. So, in this article, with the help of this article, I already knew that JFK was killed and assassinated, but I learned when he was assassinated, which I did not know. The detail from this article is important because it shows the time, and I thought that was pretty important. A quote that I liked that kind of demonstrated what I learned was, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy rarely accompanied her husband on politician outings, but she was beside him on that day, which is just really sad. This detail from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was important to me, because it says who was with him and was most likely to experience the most trauma. And that's all for today's episode. So, today we explored two texts, American History and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. We compared and contrasted the way they use figurative language, detail, and information they use. Again, this is Mary, signing off until our next episode, where we'll be tackling the issue of the Queen Elizabeth's death. Thanks again for listening to Mary Potter.
