Just threw it together overnight. The assignment was to give inspirational performative rhetoric through pictures to engage the viewer in further studies of history.
Why Study History?
Why, one might ask, might it be so important to study history?
History is just one damned thing after another.
Arnold Toynbee
False.
History is a means of access to ourselves.
Lynn White, Jr.
History is the new poetry.
Thomas Carlyle
The supreme purpose of history is a better world.
Herbert Hoover
History is what we make of it.
History is what we make it.
Why Study History? Because
Our Knowledge Qf history frees us to be contemporary.
Lynn Write, Jr.
Be contemporary.
Be yourself.
Be history.
Dont just read history! Dont just study history!
Be History.
Besides, at the end of our lives, all we will have is memories All we will have is history.

Why? Well, ur better off failing history, coz either way ur gonna be sad, either studying to hard and getting a lousy grade or not studying and get the same grade. Im talking, of course, in childhood.
