For this project I will need to read a short story or novel excerpt that is about or has a lot of information about an event in the California history. I am choosing this as a topic because I would like to learn about California history, and will learn a lot buy finding a story, looking up the meaning of words I am not familiar with, identifying, key parts of the story, such as theme, characters, setting, etc. Once I have identified the story or novel excerpt which I will be from our readings, I will also research the time frame it was written, because then I can get an idea of how the culture was at that time and look up historical events during that time to help have a better understanding of the reading. I will use the Internet to assist me with the research part, I do not have a specific website to use at this time.
