Biography

Title: A President Who Dared

Author: Edmund Lindop

        This story took place in Cape Cod, Mass. The main characters are John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie.

        John F. Kennedy had five sisters and three brothers. His older brother Joe was real athletic but John was an excellent swimmer. He learned to sail boats expertly.

        He and his brother signed up to be in the Navy. During World War II one of his brothers was a pilot and was killed on a mission.

        Later on John ran for a political office and became president of the United States. As a president he sent hundreds of dollars to many countries.

        John R. Kennedy and his wife took a trip to Dallas, Texas. While in an open limousine, with hundreds of people all lined up on the sidewalk cheering, there were two gun shots fired from the top of a warehouse. John F. Kennedy got shot in the head and the throat.

        They rushed him to the hospital and a half an hour later, he was pronounced dead. He died at the age of forty six. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.

        I liked this book because I like the fact that he sent hundreds of dollars to countries.
