How can you explain this video. What is the videographer's purpose? Select one of the two presidents in this video and write an interesting but not widely known fact about him or his familly.
This video was very interesting and "creepy" at the same time. There really isn't a way to explain this video. All of the facts in the video are correct, but ironically, they seem like they could only be made up. I think the videographer's purpose was to make us think. Were all of the similarities coincidence or was it fate that both Kennedy and Lincoln were to be assassinated? Do we see the coincidences after the fact because we are looking for them, or did the assassinations happen because of the coincidences? The facts in the video are really uncanny and surprising. An interesting fact about the Kennedy family is that they have been plagued by the "Kennedy Curse". The family has undergone (then, before, and since) a series of deaths and other reverses that could not be fully remedied by wealth, sometimes called "the Kennedy curse"; it has included the assassinations of brothers John and Robert, four aircraft crashes (Joe Jr, Kathleen, Edward, and John Jr), a failed prefrontal lobotomy on Rose Marie, carried out in the hope of calming the young woman's violent outbursts but resulting in severe mental impairment, and at least three sets of allegations against individual family members and their relatives by marriage, including a murder conviction and a controversial fatal single-car crash. Just how severely these events restricted the family's influence is unknowable, but the assumption that even the last surviving brother's role was drastically diminished is popular. On the other hand, a number of Kennedy family members have since held high office, and the idea that the family's influence was snuffed out in the 1960s is an exaggeration. Megan DeJong 4th Period
I'm not sure what was the videographers point of making this video, I assume it was to inform people. Something that not many people know is that my great-grandfather was a close friend of J.F.Kennedy. My great-grandfather also ran his campiegn (or something like that)
I think that the videographers purpose was to show all of the ironic things that the two presidents had in common. He wanted to show that there was probably facts about other famous people that we could find out. One interesting fact about Abraham Licoln is that he was the first president to be born outside of the original thirteen colonies. He was born in Kentucky.
Wow. That video was really interesting. I was acctually taken aback by some of the similarities between the two presidents. I think the videographers purpose was to inform the watcher of the similarities between the two presidents. And creepy similarities at that. Here is one interesting fact about one of the presidents, J.F.K was the first Boy Scout to become President of the United States.
It was very weird how many coincidences there are between them and their deaths. i think the videographers purpose was to probably to show these odd similarities.
The John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame is a presidential memorial at the gravesite of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, in Arlington National Cemetery. The gravesite is aligned with the Lincoln Memorial across the Memorial Bridge.
After the assassination of JFK, the widowed First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, requested an eternal flame for his gravesite. She was inspired by the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which she and her husband had seen during a visit to France in 1961, and/or took inspiration from the "candle in the wind" of Arthurian legend, and the Broadway Play "Camelot."
According to William Manchester's Death of a President (1967), Mrs. Kennedy made her request for an eternal flame on the afternoon of November 24, 1963, after she returned to the White House from the lying-in-state ceremony at the Capitol. The military planners who were organizing the funeral granted her request immediately and rushed to implement it. Overnight, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ran a gas line to the planned gravesite, fed by propane tanks from a distance. On the following day, Jacqueline Kennedy lit the flame at the end of the burial service during the state funeral. She did this by bringing a lighted taper, which was handed to her by a soldier, against the nub of the torch mechanism, which was surrounded by evergreen branches. The eternal flame sprang to life immediately, safely with a steady flame. This was seen live on nationwide television and broadcast to other nations by satellite. The late president's brothers, Robert and Ted, then took turns symbolically lighting the flame in the same manner as their sister-in-law.
This video is very interesting and weird.I don't knwow how to explain this video.The viedographers purpose was to compare kennedy, and lincoln. Abraham lincoln was the first prsident to born out of the 13 colonies. John f kennedy was the first boy scout to become president.
I would explain this video as a video that names many different ways that presidents lincoln and kennedys assassinations were related. It is very interesting.
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, two uneducated farmers, in a one-room log cabin on the 348-acre Sinking Spring Farm, in southeast Hardin County, Kentucky, making him the first president born outside the original Thirteen Colonies. Lincoln's ancestor Samuel Lincoln had arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts from England in the 17th century, but his descendants had gradually moved west, from Pennsylvania to Virginia and then westward to the frontier. Symbolic log cabin at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic SiteFor some time, Thomas Lincoln, Abraham's father, was a respected and relatively affluent citizen of the Kentucky backcountry. He had purchased the Sinking Spring Farm in December 1808 for $200 cash and assumption of a debt. The family belonged to a Hardshell Baptist church, although Abraham himself never joined their church, or any other church for that matter.
This video is about two of are greatest presidents but were unforcantly assasinated. The videographers purpose was to show some interresting facts about Aberham Lincoln and John f Kenedy when they were assasinated. An interesting fact is that John f kenedy was in command of a P T boat during world war two and it crashed and young Kenedy hurt his back.
No one can really explain WHY Kennedy and Lincoln were similar. It is really amazing and interesting that there were so many similarities between the two presidents. I think it was amazing that they really stood for the same things and had the same beliefs. They had many facts that were in common. The videographer wanted people to see the similarities in a creative way. Many people don’t even know the information about the two presidents. It was just to make more people aware of the facts.
I read some interesting details about Lincoln. One of the most interesting points that I read was, apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination. In his dream he thought that he had been killed. He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket. Now that is really WEIRD!!
This video was very interesting. It was for people to know more about what happened when they were killed. Abe Licoln was the first president to be born outside of the original thirteen colonies.The family belonged to a Hardshell Baptist church.
I would explain this video as a video that names many different ways that presidents lincoln and kennedys assassinations were related.I think the videographer's purpose was to make us think about the similaritys.
I think the videographers purpose was to show the ironic coincidences that happened to both Lincoln and Kennedy. They are sort of creepy how similar they are but true facts. One interesting fact about Lincoln is that he was the tallest U.S president at 6ft 4 inches.
I was watch the history chanel about JFK and they say that there was three people ready to shoot JFK if the first on missed.They also say that JFK had polio.
this video was really interesting to be honest i dont know how to explain this video. it was like they were made up are something. but the facts were all right.
Thsi video was intresting and kinda weird.His or her purpose was to make us really think. Lincoln was the first presdent to be bor nfro mthe 13 colonies. He also predicted his own death.
The video can be described as creepy and ironic. The similarities in both of the assassinations make sense. They go along with the old saying “They die in threes” and legend that people can sense death in a house. There are also some chilling similarities that I noticed during President Obama’s inauguration. Obama was sworn in with Lincoln’s bible, dined with replicas of Lincoln china, he took the Kennedy train ride, and Senator Kennedy, John F. Kennedy’s brother, had a seizure during the luncheon. The videographer’s purpose of this video was to inform us of the similarities between the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations. An interesting fact about President Lincoln was that he was the first president born out of the thirteen original colonies.
This video has interesting facts about two very popular presidents; Lincoln and Kennedy. Lincoln and Kennedy were elected almost exactly 100 years apart. The videographer's purpose was to show people the coincidences between these two men. Also, history repeats itself. Lincoln's wife was a lunatic and a shop-a-holic.
I think that this video is very interesting, a little weird, but interesting. I think that the videographer's purpose was to show us how the two presidents have so much in common. Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be born in raised outside of the thirteen colonies. He was born and raised in Kentucky. Another fact about Lincoln is that he was the tallest president yet.
This video was interesting.I think that the videographers purpose was to show the similarities between these two presidents and to inform us about each of them.An interesting fact about the Lincoln family had a big inpact on the White House.
I choose Lincoln because Lincoln was a great president because he stop slavery. Lincoln was killed in a movie teather. Lincoln was born in 1809 and died in 1865. He was killed by a man named John Booth.
This video is weird!!!!!The facts are the same and mirror each other. He videoed this to show people how the facts are alike and to give us information. On November 11, 1863, Lincoln watched a play starring John Wilkes Booth. He later said John was one of his favorite actors. WEIRD!
It was kind of cool, but yet sad how both of them got killed. It was onlu cool because of how the dates were laid out. its was kinda like weird how their deaths were so much alike. My interesting fact about Kennedy, was that he was cheating on his wife. he had an affair. it has actually been said, but no one can prove it true. Destini Arbogast♥ 1st && 2nd periods.
This video was sad because we lost the president in both of the cases. I think maybe some of the facts could be made up in this video but i don't know, the facts could be right.I think the purpose of this video was that the maker of this video wanted us to think about the good people that we lost in this video, and in the white house.
I explain this video as a entering and unbelieving inspiring. The reason this video was inspiring because it tells you facts about the president’s life. The videographer’s purpose of this video was to tell use children also adults about the life that the presidents had. Another purpose of this video was to teach use viewers that some of the things like getting shot in the head happened on A Friday.
I think the particular video was weird and ironic. It really caught my attention. It seemed very VERY coincidental that the dates and everything was so exactly alike. It made me think the videographer was pulling a prank. I found it very interesting how the videographer found so many things alike between the two assassinations of two great presidents.
The videographer's purpose was probably just to show the weird coincidence. And to tell the world about it. It is really kind of intriguing to see the common things about it. And kind of amazing to see that one person noticed them and put them in a video.
An interesting fact about Lincoln is that his Mother died of "milk sickness". His mother, Nancy, died from "milk sickness" in 1818. Abraham Lincoln was only nine years old when his mother died. "Milk sickness" was caused by the consumption of milk contaminate d by the toxin Tremetol. This toxin is found in the White Snakeroot plant. Cows would often graze on the White Snakeroot plant passing the toxin to humans. "Milk sickness" killed thousands of settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries. In many cases over half the population of a community died.
This video really has no explanation. Someone believed these two presidents had something in common, and they dug deeper to find out more.
The videographer's purpose is to show us the creepy similarities between the two presidents. Some of the similarities were not "amazing", but they it was still cool to think how many things the two DID have in common.
I actually found some more weird similarities between the two; I can't remember if they were in the video or not?
Mr. Booth shot Lincoln in a Theatre called "Ford". Lee Harvey Oswald, shot Kennedy in a car called "Ford" Lincoln.
Booth ran from a theater and was caught in a warehouse. Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
It was very exciting, and interesting, but a little odd, and scary. Im really not sure of his purpose, maybe he wanted us to use our heads! Okay, so President Linoln had a dream about his death, and he was the tallest President so far! Kiley Moore 3rd period!
I like videos with a lot of facts in them. That is why I really liked this video. The video was very interesting and explained many similarities between the two presidents, Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy. The most interesting fact in the video is that both of the presidents' wives lost children in the White House. Also, there were many dates that were one hundred years apart. One fact that I found interesting on the web is about Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. Mary’s parents disagreed with her marrying Abraham because he had a poor background. She had been brought up in a very wealthy family.
This viedo was fascinating yet scary. I had no idea they had so much in common. I think the videographer's purpose was toshow how much in common they had and to make people think about there death's. Was their a curse or was this just coincendences? Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be born outside the thirteen states. He was the first president to wear a beard while in office.
I think the videographer’s purpose was to show how Abraham Lincoln and JFK had a lot in common. A fact about Lincoln was he was the first president that was born outside of the 13 colonies.
I got goose bumps when I saw the video. This video is all about coincidences. I will show it to my family. I can explain it in two words: creepy coincidences. The videographer's purpose was to show the similarities between Kennedy and Lincoln. Kennedy was said to be most likely to be president in his high school yearbook. I think it's amazing that even when he was a teenager, his classmates could see his incredible potential. I also think it's amazing that their prediction came true.
I found this video both really amazing and somewhat creepy and weird. It’s amazing how many things the two presidents had in common, it’s clearly mind boggling. I find this video somewhat creepy cause there can’t possibly be that many coincidences between these men. The videographer’s purpose was to show what these men had in common and showhow much irony there is in the world. The surprising and ironic fact I found was that John Wilkes Booth's brother once saved the life of Abraham Lincoln's son.
This video gave many interesting facts about both presidents. I think the videographer’s purpose was to show the similarities of the two presidents. All the facts were true and weird at the same time. It made me think about how much they were alike in there serving as presidents. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States in 1861-1865. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, two uneducated farmers. He lived in a one-room log cabin in the 348-acre Sinking Spring Farm, in southeast Hardin County, Kentucky. He was the first president born outside the original thirteen colonies. When Lincoln was nine, his mother died of milk sickness. Afterwards, his father remarried to Sarah Bush Johnston. Lincoln and his stepmother were very close; he called her "Mother" for the rest of his life, but he was increasingly distant from his father.
I think that purpose of the video was to show the interesting similarities that the two Presidents have in common. I think the videographer purpose was to put all these facts together and make us think how weird these facts are. I recently watched a documentary on Lincoln's assassination and I found it interesting that after Lincoln was shot that night, he was taken to a nearby house and lived until the next day. I thought he died right at the theater after he was shot in the head.
I am not sure what was the videographers point of making this video.One of the facts about lincoln is that he was the first United States president. This video was really creepy.
I really cant explain the video even though it was very interesting. I think the videographers purpose in making this is to show you how J.F.K. and Lincoln were kind of the same. Lincoln predicted his on death.
i think the videographer made this video, to sow how alike the to presidents are ! Lincoln led the war and in the end died , for his soldiers it was glorious moment but not so much ):
it was weird. to make us think about the past. Lincoln stopped slavery, he got tired of slavery, then later he got shot in a theatre, he is on the penny.
This video was very interesting to me. The videographer’s purpose was to show that good things don’t last. President Kennedy and Lincoln both were looked at as the best presidents ever in office, yet they were both assassinated at fairly middle ages.
The Linclon & Kenedy video was inteesting. I did not know all of that about the two presidents. I think the videographers pourpus was to inform you of the stuff you did not know about them. One interesting fact was that Kenedy was a Boy Scout when he was a boy.
The video can be described as creepy, interesting and ironic. I think the videographers purpose was to inform the watcher of the similarities between the two presidents. Lincoln was born and raised outside the 13 colonies, he was raised in Kentucky. The night Lincoln was shot , he was taken to a nearby house and lived until the next day
This video was very interesting and "creepy" at the same time. There really isn't a way to explain this video.I think the videographer’s purpose was to show the similarities of the two presidents. All the facts were true and weird at the same time. It made me think about how much they were alike in there serving as presidents. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States in 1861-1865. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, two uneducated farmers.
I thought that this video was extremely interesting and it caught my attention very well. Below is some facts about Lincoln that I found on Google.com:
Lincoln was seeing the play "Our American Cousin" when he was shot. Lincoln was the first president to have a beard while in office. Lincoln, Nebraska was named after Abraham Lincoln. Abe Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, died when the family dairy cow ate poisonous mushrooms and she drank the milk. A plot was developed to steal Lincoln's body, so a secret society to guard his tomb was formed. During the Civil War, telegraph wires were strung to follow the action on the battlefield. But there was no telegraph office in the White House, so Lincoln went across the street to the War Department to get the news Lincoln was the tallest president. He was 6 feet and four inches tall Lincoln once had a dream right before the fall of Richmond that he would die. He dreamt that he was in the White House, he heard crying and when he found the room it was coming from he asked who had died. The man said the President. He looked in the coffin and saw his own face. A week later Lincoln died. Lincoln was shot on Good Friday. Robert Todd Lincoln arrived too late to stop three seperate presidential assassinations.He met his father, President Abraham Lincoln, at the theatre after John Wilkes Booth had fired the shot. He went to a Washington train station to meet President Garfeild, arriving only minutes after he was shot. And, he traveled to Buffalo, New York to meet President Mckinly, but got there after the fatal shot had already been fired. Lincoln had a cat named "Bob," a turkey named "Jack," and a dog named "Jib. He was the first president to be photographed at his inauguration. John Wilkes Booth (his assassin) can be seen standing close to Lincoln in the picture Lincoln was the only president to receive a patent, for a device for lifting boats over shoals. Lincoln's brother, half-brothers, and brothers-in-law fought in the Confederate Army. Abraham Lincoln was shot while watching a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. The same play was also running at the McVerick Theatre in Chicago on May 18, 1860, the day Lincoln was nominated for president in that city. Lincoln's favorite sport was wrestling. Lincoln worked as a deck hand on a Mississippi flatboat.
this video is very infomative about the two presidents. the videographer's purpose of making this video is to tell the viewersof the video about the presidents and because of this fact it is kind of hard to figure out a fact that nobody else knows.
The video is both interesting and a little freaky. The interesting part is comparing the two presidents. But the freaky part is that they both got assassinated. They were both great presidents, but they were both unfortunately shot. I wonder why the person that assassinated them did it. It was wrong for them to do that, they were great presidents. I think that they were better presidents then George Bush. The facts in the video are really surprising. A weird fact about Kennedy is that he was cursed by the “Kennedy Curse.” That is what I think of the video. Brandon Plivelich Pd. 6-7
This video cannot easily be explained. I find it very odd that all of these things happened to both of these presidents. The videographer's purpose in this video is to show its viewers that there were many "weird" relations between Kennedy and Lincoln. He/ she wanted to fascinate viewers with the odd facts within this video. A fact that most people do not know is that Presidents Day is actually Lincoln's birthday, but was later commemorated as Presidents day. It is still a holiday in Illinois as Lincoln's Birthday.
I can explain this video with two words, informative and creepy. The facts were interesting yet odd. How Kennedy and Lincoln were connected is just so strange. The videographers purpose for making this video was to show you the strange facts that connect two of histories greatest leaders. When Lincoln was a boy he worked in a supply store to make money to help his family.
I think that the videographer is just trying to tell some ineresting coincedents. However, these are just a few unknown facts. Another little known fact is that they believed that Kennedy was shot by a "Magic Bullet". The reason conspiritors thought the bullet was magic is becuase after the bullet went through the back of Kennnedy's neck and out his thote, the bullet hit the govenor right bellow the shoulder at an oblong angle. What I and many forenzic scientist believe are the facts which have been proven by numerous test. The president was actually sitting higher than anyone else in the car, so when the bullet came down at the angle it did, the bullet probably hit tissue in the presidents neck and was deflected some causing it to hit the govenor side ways.
This video was interesting. I found it very interesting how the videographer found so many things alike between the two assassinations of two great presidents. It really caught my attention. The videographer's purpose was to show the weird coincidence, and to tell the world about it. Interesting facts about Lincoln was his mother, Nancy, died from "milk sickness" in 1818. Abraham Lincoln was only nine years old when his mother died. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. Another interesting fact about Abraham Lincoln is that he was the first president to be born outside of the original thirteen colonies.
This video was interstesting but sorta scary. There are a lot of ways to explain this video,but I just don't know how to say it in words. I choose Lincoln as the president to write some intersting facts about because there are a variety of them. He was born on FEbruary 12, 1809 to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. Lincoln was born out of the thirteen colonies. He was born in Kentucky. He was only nine years old when his mother died from milk sickness. He was very close to his mother and took the tragedy very hard. He also was the tallest president we have ever had. Someone tell me why that really matters????? lol
The videographer's purpose was to show all the coincidences he or she could between President Kennedy and President Lincoln. I thought this video was very weird but also very interesting. One interesting fact about Lincoln was that he was never with any organized church and as a young man in New Salem, he had a reputation to be a nonbeliever. During his campaign, this became a large issue. Nick Trefz 4th period
this video had lots of info it was kind of weird thoe it is hard to explain this movie thta video kind of made me thinck about what happend and what is going to happen. lincoln and kannedy was assassinated. wesley haddix
This video was very interesting, the video wanted to show what the too presidents had in common.One interesting fact was that Kenedy was a Boy Scout when he was a boy. Olivia Osbourn 1st and 2nd :3
I think the videographers purpose was just to show what these two presidents have in common. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to dien
This was one of the most interesting videos that I have ever seen. I believe that the videographer’s purpose was the fact that he wanted us to think. Abraham Lincoln so far is probably in the top three president selection below George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. As many of you know Abraham Lincoln ended slavery by defeating the south in the famous Civil War. What many of you don’t know is that before he was president and was just working like a regular guy, he was making more than circuit judges and the state governor by 300 dollars. So he was doing pretty well on the financial side but what he had to deal with is that his family was for slavery but he didn’t like it at all. His parents were mad at him when he told them he was an abolitionist but they eventually got over it.

The video can be described as creepy and ironic. The similarities in both of the assassinations make sense. They go along with the old saying “They die in threes” and legend that people can sense death in a house. There are also some chilling similarities that I noticed during President Obama’s inauguration. Obama was sworn in with Lincoln’s bible, dined with replicas of Lincoln china, he took the Kennedy train ride, and Senator Kennedy, John F. Kennedy’s brother, had a seizure during the luncheon. The videographer’s purpose of this video was to inform us of the similarities between the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations.
This video is hard to explain. It is very interesting and surprising at the same time. It was actually very strange to me. I think the videographers purpose for this video was to tell us how similar the two presidents were. Also, to get us to think about things.
An interesting fact about President Lincoln is that a few days before his death, Lincoln had a dream of being dead. He saw himself lying in a casket. He immediately told his wife. Just days later, Lincoln was shot and then died.
I think that their is no real explanition for this video, though it could be a curse or just a coincidence. I think the videographers purpose in making this movie is to share the facts with you. The videographer simply wanted it's viewer to be aware of the coincidence and to also be entertained. In making this video, the videographer was able to request any other facts it's viewer may be aware of.Their are many coincidences about President Kennedy and President Licoln that are untrue, like the fact that a month before Lincoln was assassinated he was in Monroe, Maryland; a month before Kennedy was assassinated he was in Marilyn Monroe." In fact, Marilyn Monroe died more than a year before Kennedy was killed.There are many true coincidence ,too, like the fact that both presidents married women in the age of 24 who could speak French. In my opinion, these coincidences can not be coincidences;there are just to many of them.
This video is very interesting. Its wierd how Lincoln and Kennedy have so many thing s that are realated. I don't really know the expaination of this video.
Abraham lincoln was He was the tallest U.S president at 6ft 4 inches. One week before his death,he had a dream of someone crying in the White House, when he found the room; he looked in and asked who had passed away. The man in the room said the President. When he looked in the coffin it was his own face he saw. Lincoln was fond of pets, and owned horses, cats, dogs and a turkey. He was the first president to have a beard.
think his purpose was to show the ironic things that happened between the two presidents. I think his purpose was to show the similarities. They died as hero's for our country cause the stood up for what they was right.
This video shows the irony in the deaths of the two presidents. I think the videographers purpose in making this video was to contrast tho two presidents.
Jacqueline Kennedy professed no particular interest in politics, she quickly became a major asset to her ambitious husband. She traveled around the world as First Lady and impressed many dignitaries with her knowledge of foreign languages. The American public was charmed by the sweet-voiced Jackie who led them on a televised tour of the White House to show off its treasures. As a student of history and an amateur artist, Jackie was determined to restore the Mansion to its 18th and 19th century splendor.
It's kinda of strange that they both died a hundred years later that some oe has to have known that kennedty was going to be President. um presedent lincoln was in a movie Theater.
I think the purpose of this video was to inform you of the coincidentally events in both president's lifetimes. Both of them died by assassin, that seems pretty ironic to me. When John Kennedy was a boy, he was a boy scout. He was the very first b oy scout to become president of the United States of America.
This video was very interesting and "creepy" at the same time. There really isn't a way to explain this video. All of the facts in the video are correct, but ironically, they seem like they could only be made up. I think the videographer's purpose was to make us think. Were all of the similarities coincidence or was it fate that both Kennedy and Lincoln were to be assassinated? Do we see the coincidences after the fact because we are looking for them, or did the assassinations happen because of the coincidences? The facts in the video are really uncanny and surprising. An interesting fact about the Kennedy family is that they have been plagued by the "Kennedy Curse". The family has undergone (then, before, and since) a series of deaths and other reverses that could not be fully remedied by wealth, sometimes called "the Kennedy curse"; it has included the assassinations of brothers John and Robert, four aircraft crashes (Joe Jr, Kathleen, Edward, and John Jr), a failed prefrontal lobotomy on Rose Marie, carried out in the hope of calming the young woman's violent outbursts but resulting in severe mental impairment, and at least three sets of allegations against individual family members and their relatives by marriage, including a murder conviction and a controversial fatal single-car crash. Just how severely these events restricted the family's influence is unknowable, but the assumption that even the last surviving brother's role was drastically diminished is popular. On the other hand, a number of Kennedy family members have since held high office, and the idea that the family's influence was snuffed out in the 1960s is an exaggeration.
This video is about how they both have in common. The videographer's purpose is that how thet were only 10 years apart.After Kennedy's military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 during World War II in the South Pacific, his aspirations turned political. With the encouragement and grooming of his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat, and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election, one of the closest in American history. To date, he is the only Catholic to be president. He was the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), and the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43.Kennedy is also the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize. Events during his administration include the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War.

The family has undergone (then, before, and since) a series of deaths and other reverses that could not be fully remedied by wealth, sometimes called "the Kennedy curse"; it has included the assassinations of brothers John and Robert, four aircraft crashes (Joe Jr, Kathleen, Edward, and John Jr), a failed prefrontal lobotomy on Rose Marie, carried out in the hope of calming the young woman's violent outbursts but resulting in severe mental impairment, and at least three sets of allegations against individual family members and their relatives by marriage, including a murder conviction and a controversial fatal single-car crash. Just how severely these events restricted the family's influence is unknowable, but the assumption that even the last surviving brother's role was drastically diminished is popular. On the other hand, a number of Kennedy family members have since held high office, and the idea that the family's influence was snuffed out in the 1960s is an exaggeration.
The video shows that kennendy and lincoln had alot in commen. These people had alot of stuff that happened to them such as they both got shot in the head. Abraham Lincoln was the son of Nancy Hanks Lincoln and Thomas Lincoln who later remarried to Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln who became Abraham Lincoln’s stepmother. Lincoln became very close to Sarah, and would call her “mother”, however was quite distant to his father.
Lincoln later married Mary Todd Lincoln, and together they had four children; Robert Todd Lincoln, Edward “Eddie” Baker Lincoln, William “Willie” Wallace Lincoln and Thomas “Tad” Lincoln. Robert Todd Lincoln was the only one of Lincoln’s children to survive to adulthood. Abraham and Mary shared the love for animals; Lincoln adored his horse “Old Bob” who was incorporated into Lincoln’s funeral procession. They also kept a dog called Fido and many other pets in the house as they were an important part of the Lincoln family.
This video is very interesting and cool.There is not a very good way to explain this video.This video would be best explained as a thinking video, a video where you have to think really hard about the subject so you can keep up. The videographer's purpose for this video was to intertain and to educate. Only two people have had more books written about them than Mr. Lincoln. Thats not that interesting well I think it is awesome I mean we don't even have a book written about us. Also Lincoln was the first president to wear silk undergarments.And Abe like him some flapjacks with molasses for breakfast, but he didn’t eat with utensils as “they have ill humors about them."
I explain this video as a entering and unbelieving inspiring. The reason this video was inspiring because it tells you facts about the president’s life. The videographer’s purpose of this video was to tell use children also adults about the life that the presidents had. Another purpose of this video was to teach use viewers that some of the things like getting shot in the head happened on A Friday.

This video was very interesting and "creepy" at the same time. There really isn't a way to explain this video. All of the facts in the video are correct, but ironically, they seem like they could only be made up. I think the videographer's purpose was to make us think. Were all of the similarities coincidence or was it fate that both Kennedy and Lincoln were to be assassinated? Do we see the coincidences after the fact because we are looking for them, or did the assassinations happen because of the coincidences? The facts in the video are really uncanny and surprising.

I'm not sure what was the videographers point of making this video, I assume it was to inform people. Something that not many people know is that my great-grandfather was a close friend of J.F.Kennedy. My great-grandfather also ran his campiegn (or something like that)

I think that the videographers purpose was to show all of the ironic things that the two presidents had in common. He wanted to show that there was probably facts about other famous people that we could find out. One interesting fact about Abraham Licoln is that he was the first president to be born outside of the original thirteen colonies. He was born in Kentucky.

Wow. That video was really interesting. I was acctually taken aback by some of the similarities between the two presidents.

The John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame is a presidential memorial at the gravesite of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, in Arlington National Cemetery. The gravesite is aligned with the Lincoln Memorial across the Memorial Bridge.
After the assassination of JFK, the widowed First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, requested an eternal flame for his gravesite. She was inspired by the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which she and her husband had seen during a visit to France in 1961, and/or took inspiration from the "candle in the wind" of Arthurian legend, and the Broadway Play "Camelot."
According to William Manchester's Death of a President (1967), Mrs. Kennedy made her request for an eternal flame on the afternoon of November 24, 1963, after she returned to the White House from the lying-in-state ceremony at the Capitol. The military planners who were organizing the funeral granted her request immediately and rushed to implement it. Overnight, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ran a gas line to the planned gravesite, fed by propane tanks from a distance. On the following day, Jacqueline Kennedy lit the flame at the end of the burial service during the state funeral. She did this by bringing a lighted taper, which was handed to her by a soldier, against the nub of the torch mechanism, which was surrounded by evergreen branches. The eternal flame sprang to life immediately, safely with a steady flame. This was seen live on nationwide television and broadcast to other nations by satellite. The late president's brothers, Robert and Ted, then took turns symbolically lighting the flame in the same manner as their sister-in-law.

I would explain this video as a video that names many different ways that presidents lincoln and kennedys assassinations were related. It is very interesting.
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, two uneducated farmers, in a one-room log cabin on the 348-acre Sinking Spring Farm, in southeast Hardin County, Kentucky, making him the first president born outside the original Thirteen Colonies. Lincoln's ancestor Samuel Lincoln had arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts from England in the 17th century, but his descendants had gradually moved west, from Pennsylvania to Virginia and then westward to the frontier. Symbolic log cabin at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic SiteFor some time, Thomas Lincoln, Abraham's father, was a respected and relatively affluent citizen of the Kentucky backcountry. He had purchased the Sinking Spring Farm in December 1808 for $200 cash and assumption of a debt. The family belonged to a Hardshell Baptist church, although Abraham himself never joined their church, or any other church for that matter.

This video is about two of are greatest presidents but were unforcantly assasinated. The videographers purpose was to show some interresting facts about Aberham Lincoln and John f Kenedy when they were assasinated. An interesting fact is that John f kenedy was in command of a P T boat during world war two and it crashed and young Kenedy hurt his back.
No one can really explain WHY Kennedy and Lincoln were similar. It is really amazing and interesting that there were so many similarities between the two presidents. I think it was amazing that they really stood for the same things and had the same beliefs. They had many facts that were in common. The videographer wanted people to see the similarities in a creative way. Many people don’t even know the information about the two presidents. It was just to make more people aware of the facts.
I read some interesting details about Lincoln. One of the most interesting points that I read was,
apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination. In his dream he thought that he had been killed. He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket. Now that is really WEIRD!!

to be honest i dont know how to explain this video. it was like they were made up are something. but the facts were all right.
Thsi video was intresting and kinda weird.His or her purpose was to make us really think. Lincoln was the first presdent to be bor nfro mthe 13 colonies. He also predicted his own death.
The video can be described as creepy and ironic. The similarities in both of the assassinations make sense. They go along with the old saying “They die in threes” and legend that people can sense death in a house. There are also some chilling similarities that I noticed during President Obama’s inauguration. Obama was sworn in with Lincoln’s bible, dined with replicas of Lincoln china, he took the Kennedy train ride, and Senator Kennedy, John F. Kennedy’s brother, had a seizure during the luncheon. The videographer’s purpose of this video was to inform us of the similarities between the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations. An interesting fact about President Lincoln was that he was the first president born out of the thirteen original colonies.

This video has interesting facts about two very popular presidents; Lincoln and Kennedy. Lincoln and Kennedy were elected almost exactly 100 years apart.

This video is weird!!!!!The facts are the same and mirror each other. He videoed this to show people how the facts are alike and to give us information. On November 11, 1863, Lincoln watched a play starring John Wilkes Booth. He later said John was one of his favorite actors. WEIRD!
It was kind of cool, but yet sad how both of them got killed. It was onlu cool because of how the dates were laid out. its was kinda like weird how their deaths were so much alike. My interesting fact about Kennedy, was that he was cheating on his wife. he had an affair. it has actually been said, but no one can prove it true.

Another purpose of this video was to teach use viewers that some of the things like getting shot in the head happened on A Friday.
I think the particular video was weird and ironic. It really caught my attention. It seemed very VERY coincidental that the dates and everything was so exactly alike. It made me think the videographer was pulling a prank. I found it very interesting how the videographer found so many things alike between the two assassinations of two great presidents.
The videographer's purpose was probably just to show the weird coincidence. And to tell the world about it. It is really kind of intriguing to see the common things about it. And kind of amazing to see that one person noticed them and put them in a video.
An interesting fact about Lincoln is that his Mother died of "milk sickness". His mother, Nancy, died from "milk sickness" in 1818. Abraham Lincoln was only nine years old when his mother died. "Milk sickness" was caused by the consumption of milk contaminate
d by the toxin Tremetol. This toxin is found in the White Snakeroot plant. Cows would often graze on the White Snakeroot plant passing the toxin to humans. "Milk sickness" killed thousands of settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries. In many cases over half the population of a community died.

This video really has no explanation. Someone believed these two presidents had something in common, and they dug deeper to find out more.
The videographer's purpose is to show us the creepy similarities between the two presidents. Some of the similarities were not "amazing", but they it was still cool to think how many things the two DID have in common.
I actually found some more weird similarities between the two; I can't remember if they were in the video or not?
Mr. Booth shot Lincoln in a Theatre called "Ford".
Lee Harvey Oswald, shot Kennedy in a car called "Ford" Lincoln.
Booth ran from a theater and was caught in a warehouse.

I like videos with a lot of facts in them. That is why I really liked this video. The video was very interesting and explained many similarities between the two presidents, Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy. The most interesting fact in the video is that both of the presidents' wives lost children in the White House. Also, there were many dates that were one hundred years apart. One fact that I found interesting on the web is about Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. Mary’s parents disagreed with her marrying Abraham because he had a poor background. She had been brought up in a very wealthy family.
This viedo was fascinating yet scary. I had no idea they had so much in common. I think the videographer's purpose was toshow how much in common they had and to make people think about there death's. Was their a curse or was this just coincendences? Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be born outside the thirteen states. He was the first president to wear a beard while in office.

I got goose bumps when I saw the video. This video is all about coincidences. I will show it to my family. I can explain it in two words: creepy coincidences. The videographer's purpose was to show the similarities between Kennedy and Lincoln. Kennedy was said to be most likely to be president in his high school yearbook. I think it's amazing that even when he was a teenager, his classmates could see his incredible potential. I also think it's amazing that their prediction came true.

I found this video both really amazing and somewhat creepy and weird. It’s amazing how many things the two presidents had in common, it’s clearly mind boggling. I find this video somewhat creepy cause there can’t possibly be that many coincidences between these men. The videographer’s purpose was to show what these men had in common and showhow much irony there is in the world. The surprising and ironic fact I found was that John Wilkes Booth's brother once saved the life of Abraham Lincoln's son.
This video gave many interesting facts about both presidents. I think the videographer’s purpose was to show the similarities of the two presidents. All the facts were true and weird at the same time. It made me think about how much they were alike in there serving as presidents. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States in 1861-1865. Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, two uneducated farmers. He lived in a one-room log cabin in the 348-acre Sinking Spring Farm, in southeast Hardin County, Kentucky. He was the first president born outside the original thirteen colonies. When Lincoln was nine, his mother died of milk sickness. Afterwards, his father remarried to Sarah Bush Johnston. Lincoln and his stepmother were very close; he called her "Mother" for the rest of his life, but he was increasingly distant from his father.

The Linclon & Kenedy video was inteesting. I did not know all of that about the two presidents. I think the videographers pourpus was to inform you of the stuff you did not know about them. One interesting fact was that Kenedy was a Boy Scout when he was a boy.

I realy cant explain this viediobut I think all of the facts were correct and I thought it was sad because they both died
I thought that this video was extremely interesting and it caught my attention very well.
Below is some facts about Lincoln that I found on Google.com:
Lincoln was seeing the play "Our American Cousin" when he was shot.
Lincoln was the first president to have a beard while in office.
Lincoln, Nebraska was named after Abraham Lincoln.
Abe Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, died when the family dairy cow ate poisonous mushrooms and she drank the milk.
A plot was developed to steal Lincoln's body, so a secret society to guard his tomb was formed.
During the Civil War, telegraph wires were strung to follow the action on the battlefield. But there was no telegraph office in the White House, so Lincoln went across the street to the War Department to get the news
Lincoln was the tallest president. He was 6 feet and four inches tall
Lincoln once had a dream right before the fall of Richmond that he would die. He dreamt that he was in the White House, he heard crying and when he found the room it was coming from he asked who had died. The man said the President. He looked in the coffin and saw his own face. A week later Lincoln died.
Lincoln was shot on Good Friday.
Robert Todd Lincoln arrived too late to stop three seperate presidential assassinations.He met his father, President Abraham Lincoln, at the theatre after John Wilkes Booth had fired the shot. He went to a Washington train station to meet President Garfeild, arriving only minutes after he was shot. And, he traveled to Buffalo, New York to meet President Mckinly, but got there after the fatal shot had already been fired.
Lincoln had a cat named "Bob," a turkey named "Jack," and a dog named "Jib.
He was the first president to be photographed at his inauguration. John Wilkes Booth (his assassin) can be seen standing close to Lincoln in the picture
Lincoln was the only president to receive a patent, for a device for lifting boats over shoals.
Lincoln's brother, half-brothers, and brothers-in-law fought in the Confederate Army.
Abraham Lincoln was shot while watching a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. The same play was also running at the McVerick Theatre in Chicago on May 18, 1860, the day Lincoln was nominated for president in that city.
Lincoln's favorite sport was wrestling.
Lincoln worked as a deck hand on a Mississippi flatboat.
this video is very infomative about the two presidents. the videographer's purpose of making this video is to tell the viewersof the video about the presidents and because of this fact it is kind of hard to figure out a fact that nobody else knows.
marshall tucker 1st 2nd ^_^
The video is both interesting and a little freaky. The interesting part is comparing the two presidents. But the freaky part is that they both got assassinated. They were both great presidents, but they were both unfortunately shot. I wonder why the person that assassinated them did it. It was wrong for them to do that, they were great presidents. I think that they were better presidents then George Bush. The facts in the video are really surprising. A weird fact about Kennedy is that he was cursed by the “Kennedy Curse.” That is what I think of the video.
Brandon Plivelich Pd. 6-7
This video cannot easily be explained. I find it very odd that all of these things happened to both of these presidents. The videographer's purpose in this video is to show its viewers that there were many "weird" relations between Kennedy and Lincoln. He/ she wanted to fascinate viewers with the odd facts within this video. A fact that most people do not know is that Presidents Day is actually Lincoln's birthday, but was later commemorated as Presidents day. It is still a holiday in Illinois as Lincoln's Birthday.
I can explain this video with two words, informative and creepy. The facts were interesting yet odd. How Kennedy and Lincoln were connected is just so strange. The videographers purpose for making this video was to show you the strange facts that connect two of histories greatest leaders. When Lincoln was a boy he worked in a supply store to make money to help his family.

I think that the videographer is just trying to tell some ineresting coincedents. However, these are just a few unknown facts. Another little known fact is that they believed that Kennedy was shot by a "Magic Bullet". The reason conspiritors thought the bullet was magic is becuase after the bullet went through the back of Kennnedy's neck and out his thote, the bullet hit the govenor right bellow the shoulder at an oblong angle. What I and many forenzic scientist believe are the facts which have been proven by numerous test. The president was actually sitting higher than anyone else in the car, so when the bullet came down at the angle it did, the bullet probably hit tissue in the presidents neck and was deflected some causing it to hit the govenor side ways.

Lincoln was born out of the thirteen colonies. He was born in Kentucky. He was only nine years old when his mother died from milk sickness. He was very close to his mother and took the tragedy very hard. He also was the tallest president we have ever had. Someone tell me why that really matters????? lol

I think the videographers purpose was just to show what these two presidents have in common. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to dien
This was one of the most interesting videos that I have ever seen. I believe that the videographer’s purpose was the fact that he wanted us to think. Abraham Lincoln so far is probably in the top three president selection below George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. As many of you know Abraham Lincoln ended slavery by defeating the south in the famous Civil War. What many of you don’t know is that before he was president and was just working like a regular guy, he was making more than circuit judges and the state governor by 300 dollars. So he was doing pretty well on the financial side but what he had to deal with is that his family was for slavery but he didn’t like it at all. His parents were mad at him when he told them he was an abolitionist but they eventually got over it.

I think that their is no real explanition for this video, though it could be a curse or just a coincidence. I think the videographers purpose in making this movie is to share the facts with you. The videographer simply wanted it's viewer to be aware of the coincidence and to also be entertained. In making this video, the videographer was able to request any other facts it's viewer may be aware of.Their are many coincidences about President Kennedy and President Licoln that are untrue, like the fact that a month before Lincoln was assassinated he was in Monroe, Maryland; a month before Kennedy was assassinated he was in Marilyn Monroe." In fact, Marilyn Monroe died more than a year before Kennedy was killed.There are many true coincidence ,too, like the fact that both presidents married women in the age of 24 who could speak French. In my opinion, these coincidences can not be coincidences;there are just to many of them.
This video is very interesting. Its wierd how Lincoln and Kennedy have so many thing s that are realated. I don't really know the expaination of this video.
Abraham lincoln was He was the tallest U.S president at 6ft 4 inches. One week before his death,he had a dream of someone crying in the White House, when he found the room; he looked in and asked who had passed away. The man in the room said the President. When he looked in the coffin it was his own face he saw. Lincoln was fond of pets, and owned horses, cats, dogs and a turkey. He was the first president to have a beard.

think his purpose was to show the ironic things that happened between the two presidents. I think his purpose was to show the similarities. They died as hero's for our country cause the stood up for what they was right.
This video shows the irony in the deaths of the two presidents. I think the videographers purpose in making this video was to contrast tho two presidents.
Jacqueline Kennedy professed no particular interest in politics, she quickly became a major asset to her ambitious husband. She traveled around the world as First Lady and impressed many dignitaries with her knowledge of foreign languages. The American public was charmed by the sweet-voiced Jackie who led them on a televised tour of the White House to show off its treasures. As a student of history and an amateur artist, Jackie was determined to restore the Mansion to its 18th and 19th century splendor.

I think the purpose of this video was to inform you of the coincidentally events in both president's lifetimes. Both of them died by assassin, that seems pretty ironic to me. When John Kennedy was a boy, he was a boy scout. He was the very first b oy scout to become president of the United States of America.
President Kennedy was catholic by
faith.
He served as captain of a pt boat during the korean war.
His widow later married a greek
tycon.
This video was very interesting and "creepy" at the same time. There really isn't a way to explain this video. All of the facts in the video are correct, but ironically, they seem like they could only be made up. I think the videographer's purpose was to make us think. Were all of the similarities coincidence or was it fate that both Kennedy and Lincoln were to be assassinated? Do we see the coincidences after the fact because we are looking for them, or did the assassinations happen because of the coincidences? The facts in the video are really uncanny and surprising. An interesting fact about the Kennedy family is that they have been plagued by the "Kennedy Curse". The family has undergone (then, before, and since) a series of deaths and other reverses that could not be fully remedied by wealth, sometimes called "the Kennedy curse"; it has included the assassinations of brothers John and Robert, four aircraft crashes (Joe Jr, Kathleen, Edward, and John Jr), a failed prefrontal lobotomy on Rose Marie, carried out in the hope of calming the young woman's violent outbursts but resulting in severe mental impairment, and at least three sets of allegations against individual family members and their relatives by marriage, including a murder conviction and a controversial fatal single-car crash. Just how severely these events restricted the family's influence is unknowable, but the assumption that even the last surviving brother's role was drastically diminished is popular. On the other hand, a number of Kennedy family members have since held high office, and the idea that the family's influence was snuffed out in the 1960s is an exaggeration.

This video is about how they both have in common. The videographer's purpose is that how thet were only 10 years apart.After Kennedy's military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 during World War II in the South Pacific, his aspirations turned political. With the encouragement and grooming of his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat, and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election, one of the closest in American history. To date, he is the only Catholic to be president. He was the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), and the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43.Kennedy is also the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize. Events during his administration include the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War.

The video shows that kennendy and lincoln had alot in commen. These people had alot of stuff that happened to them such as they both got shot in the head. Abraham Lincoln was the son of Nancy Hanks Lincoln and Thomas Lincoln who later remarried to Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln who became Abraham Lincoln’s stepmother. Lincoln became very close to Sarah, and would call her “mother”, however was quite distant to his father.
Lincoln later married Mary Todd Lincoln, and together they had four children; Robert Todd Lincoln, Edward “Eddie” Baker Lincoln, William “Willie” Wallace Lincoln and Thomas “Tad” Lincoln. Robert Todd Lincoln was the only one of Lincoln’s children to survive to adulthood. Abraham and Mary shared the love for animals; Lincoln adored his horse “Old Bob” who was incorporated into Lincoln’s funeral procession. They also kept a dog called Fido and many other pets in the house as they were an important part of the Lincoln family.

This video is very interesting and cool.There is not a very good way to explain this video.This video would be best explained as a thinking video, a video where you have to think really hard about the subject so you can keep up. The videographer's purpose for this video was to intertain and to educate. Only two people have had more books written about them than Mr. Lincoln. Thats not that interesting well I think it is awesome I mean we don't even have a book written about us. Also Lincoln was the first president to wear silk undergarments.And Abe like him some flapjacks with molasses for breakfast, but he didn’t eat with utensils as “they have ill humors about them."

I explain this video as a entering and unbelieving inspiring. The reason this video was inspiring because it tells you facts about the president’s life. The videographer’s purpose of this video was to tell use children also adults about the life that the presidents had. Another purpose of this video was to teach use viewers that some of the things like getting shot in the head happened on A Friday.
