ENTRY 2

I have finally made a decision  on what topic I am going to be doing my research paper on! The topic that I have chosen is the Spanish-American War mainly because I have great deal of interest in history and especially this topic since my country was a part of it (Philippines). I have printed out three resources that I am definitely going to be using on my research paper and whill use for my resource folder. I printed out one article from the history channel website, one from the Hispanic Division of Library Congress and another a website call "office of historian". One of the most important one was the article I printed out on why and how the war ended. So, so far I htink I'm making good progress on the "research" part of my research paper.

ENTRY 1

As of right now I'm not fully sure of what I want to write about for my research paper this semester. There are two topics that catch my eye but still haven't made a decision on. I want to pick the topic on the U.S. was with Spain in 1898 mainly because I have a lot of knowledge about it but I also want to do the immigration and American dream one because I am immigrant myself. I should have a decision by Thursday when the class meets again.
