YuChuan Zhou

This this personal introduction. The most important thing in life is a course to know yourself. After entering university, entered into a new environment -- totally different from my hometown of an environment. Whenever I encounter problems in interpersonal, my mind emerge out of such a question: what the hell am I how? After repeatedly the feeling of frustration, I found that I own a lot of changes have taken place. I don't know these changes is good or bad.
My name is YuChuan Zhou. I love people call me Zed. Im from China. China is a long history country, it makes me love history. I also really want know about America’s history. That’s why I took this class. I have been here about two years. All right, let me tell u my stories. There are two things, I want to share them.
First one, it’s about “Fleet Week “ and “Blue Angels” This year the event begins with a roar around noon Thursday when the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels precision flying team begins its practice runs over San Francisco and the bay. The Angels fly again Friday, Saturday and Sunday as part of an air show over the waterfront.
The Angels are the most visible, and sometimes the most controversial, part of Fleet Week, but they are not the whole show. This year’s event includes a parade of ships Friday morning at 11, public tours during the week of two U.S. and three Canadian Navy ships docked along the Embarcadero, band concerts, and displays of the military capacity to provide humanitarian aid during a disaster and other events. God that’s so cool.
Second one:Dining Experiences,Ghiradellhi’s chocolate factory. The Bay Area’s history with chocolate dates back to the California Gold Rush, when Domingo Ghirardelli opened the city’s first chocolate factory in 1852.

    The purpose of this essay is to explain the historical development of the Thirteen colonies in the time period 1700-1800. It will be shown that the development of the colonies of the south and north differed in this time period. As the colonies developed, the need for independence grew leading to the Revolutionary war in 1776. Slavery was very diverse. In the south slavery was separated into two subcultures: the upper south and lower south. Slavery, however in the north was less vital to the colonial economy. In 1760 monarchism was well established in American culture. Americans were proud of their British culture. In most aspects colonies were already governing themselves for example Pennsylvania State House was a strong visual reminder of the power of the colonial assembly.

    Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum's Salem Possessed explores the pre-existing social and economic divisions within the Salem Village community, as an entry point to understand the accusations of witchcraft in 1692. According to Boyer and Nissenbaum, the village split into two factions: one interested in gaining more autonomy for Salem Village and led by the Putnam family, and the other, interested in the mercantile and political life of Salem Town and led by the Porter family. Boyer and Nissenbaum's deft and imaginative look at local records reveals the contours of communal life in colonial New England and provides a model through which to understand the witchcraft accusations as part of a larger pattern of communal strife. Such a tight focus on communal and social causes for the events of 1692, however, loses sight of the religious, gendered, and individual forces that played equally pivotal roles in the outbreak.…

    Historians mark the year 1789 as the end of the Revolutionary period in America. Liberty had triumphed, and Americans under the leadership of a bright and resolute few, had fashioned a republic capable governing itself. Modern Americans tend to view the early years of the Republic with a sense of sentimental nostalgia. America had become a nation-- or had it? On the surface, this may have been the case. Certainly the events of the Colonial period brought forth drastic and long-awaited change, however the historical developments of the 19th century were equally as revolutionary. Independence was an extraordinary feat, yet it was not until the 19th century that a distinct American identity emerged.…
