I am doing a report on Elie Weasel; he was one of the men who was the first to win a noble prize for peace. He won a medal for the best work ever. He was a French American author, whose work addressed Jewish themes, dealing with the experiences of Jews who suffered in Nazi Germany. Elie Weasel was born in Sighit, Romania. In 1944 German Nazis deported Weasel’s family and all other Jews in their community to Auschwitz, a concentration camp in Poland. Both parents were killed in such camps during the war. After the war Elie Weasel studied at the Paris and worked and worked as a newspaper correspondent. In 1963 he became a Citizen of the United States. He was appointed a professor of humanities at Boston University. He wrote the first book called ”Nights”, records the inclusive experience of the Jews. He died in 1995 after he published ‘memories. |

I am working on John Peter Zenger, a reporter who was an immigrant from a faraway land. John Peter Zenger crossed the sea in 1711 with his brother. His dad died at sea. So Zenger as the oldest had to come to New York to take over his dad’s place. He looked all over for a job. He found one but it was too much so he had to go back to the drawing board. John Peter Zenger was born in Germany in 1697. He came to N.Y. in 1711, and he finally found a job. In this job he wrote an article. After a couple of articles he made a book together with the owner of the newspaper and took off on his own. In this newspaper he told of the lies the commission told! This made them mad really mad because the people didn’t believe them. The commission threw him in jail for telling the truth! He was let go in a couple of months because of Mr. Hamilton a well known lawyer that came to help him. If you’re wondering why I’m writing about him it’s because he made freedom of the press. For those who don’t know what that is, it’s when you can write what you like! John Peter Zenger was a brave man how worked hard for freedom of the press. Thanks to him we can write what we find about anyone with out going to jail! |

John was a boy that was born in Germany in 1697. At age 13 he travel many miles by boat from Germany to New York. His father died after the boat trip and left them poor. The next October a man name William Bradford offered him a job without fee and John accept it. He stayed there from 1711-1719. Bradford was the boss of John. At that time the governor was William Cosby. He was disliked among the colonist. In 1730 John published the first arithmetic textbook in the colonies. Three years later he found the New York Weekly Journal. Zenger printed his backers’ articles criticizing the government. In no time Cosby discovered that John was writing terrible and horrible things about the British. So Cosby decides to send John to jail for ten whole months. After more than eight month in prison, Zenger went to trial defended by illustrious Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Hamilton. The case was now a cause to celebrate with public interest at fever pitch. Rebuffed repeatedly by Chief Justice Delancy during the trial, Hamilton decided to plead his client’s case directly to the jury. The jury retired, only to return shortly with a verdict of not guilty. |
