sobbing I would've been so lame and would've done ||sensitive topic|| 9/11 if I would've been allowed to. I did a presentation on it for my Modern American History class. (got a hundred on it :nod:)

That would be a good topic! No joke that it's a hard subject, but it has a lot of history behind it. Unfortunately it didn't fit the theme for this competition, so that's why I went with the Meiji era.

Mind if I dm you, if you don't mind me talking abotu my subject if it's not too hard on you? I'd yap in here but I don't want to accidently cause someone to feel traumatized or anything.

And I've never heard of the Meiji era! I think I need to learn more about it!

I'm not on Discord, but I'm always free on owls! It's not at all too hard for me. I really enjoy talking with others about it as I've learned some new info over the past few years.

Same here! I'm very excited to learn more about it as well. There's a show I watch called Ruroni Kenshin (highly recommend the original!) that's about this era.

It wouldn't be too bad if they took out how it represents commentary on social issues

That sounds like something my English teacher would do. Though honestly, she isn't really a teacher as she uses AI on all her assignments then complains about how bad we do on her quizzes when all that the AI wrote has nothing to do with the book.

Bleh! No AI!

That's awesome! Is there a focus? cultural, military, art?

Not sure just yet, but probably about how it was a revolution.

Fantastic choice!

I miss history classes I even wanted a double major in history, but I know that I would later feel regret for it BUT- hey, if it's something you enjoy, pursue it :nod: I guess

Hii

History classes got repetitive for me when it was just about our country over... and over... and over... and over again
