In this article i will be talking about the John F. Kennedy assassination and these two young kids who will meet in the middle. Two kids who are different in money and race. A goal that John F. Kennedy was trying to achieve. There is a girl by the name of Elena. A Puerto Rican girl who lives in a greasy, old looking apartment in New Jersey. She has a nick name that people call her which is SKINNY BONES. She is smart and very geeky, but she is sweet. There is a boy by the name of Eugene. A white boy, long blond hair, with freckles, and glasses. He has a nick name too, which is HICK because of his freckles on his face. He is very smart with all AP classes, and is very shy. They ended up knowing each other by her running into him at school number 13 in front of his locker, all the way on the other side from her locker. Elena was supposed to go to his house to study , but his mother opened the door and looked at her and said, "You live in those building up there, right?" Then after Elena said yes, his mother told her to go home because Eugene didn't need any help because he was already smart. So Elena ran back home and saw that her mother had already gone to church and her father had just got back from work and in the living room talking to his neighbors. On the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated they were all in shock and was just watching the news on what happened. Elena's mother wanted to go to church to pray for him because he was a good man. A man who was a family man and loved his wife and kids. This day occurred on November 22, 1963 during a nice warm sunny day. It happened in front of many people who was cheering for him. They live in an apartment called El Building in New Jersey. This day was important to Elena because she was going to Eugene's house to study and would probably have a chance to see the rooms instead of the kitchen. This day was important to the Americans because John F. Kennedy was fighting for civil rights and people thought that since he had died that all his progress would be washed away and it wasn't going to happen any more. People may lose the grief, but will still remember what had happened to Kennedy. May we let his body rest in peace and let his achievements satisfy him in his grave.
