Process Paper
I choose John F. Kennedy’s Assassination as a topic because it’s something I truly enjoy learning about. I always enjoyed watching videos and documentaries about his assassination; due to this, JFK has become one of my favorite presidents. It’s something unexplainable when I learn more and more of what happened that day or when I learn about the president himself. It seems that even though he isn’t alive, he still has that pull factor about him; his good vibes are contagious.
I conducted my research by looking at as many articles as I can, then I narrowed it down and did a process of elimination. When I did find something useful, I would paste the link into my Google Docs, so I could access them later. As I compiled my list of sources, I would take a break to use the information I have and build my website. I watched many Youtube videos of the actual assassination and anything pertaining to it. A lot my research was actually finding pictures to put onto the website. Most, if not all, my research was done on the computer.
I decided to do a website because I know I’m not really good at organizing an exhibition board well. Also, I’m not technologically advanced enough to edit a legitimate documentary and I knew that I would do horrible on the paper (take this as an example). Plus, I know that my acting skills are subpar, so the live performance was automatically out of the question. The website is the comfort zone of all the categories; I wanted to make something I know I’ll be confident about.
The assassination of JFK was something that dealt with both encounter and exchange. When he was assassin, the United States had to encounter the culture of conspiracies; Americans had to deal with a dead president and a new one emerging only hours later. Johnson had to encounter a bigger role, perhaps the biggest of them all, in the American government. The exchange was perhaps the literal exchange of presidents and their ideologies. The had to be a new presidential administration and its supporters. Ultimately, the assassination had brought on many new cultural and political newness.
