J.F.K.: A Personal Story
By Haley Zink

1. Throughout this video there were many different primary sources used. In my opinion the top primary source would have to the book the Jack Kennedy wrote. Profiles in Courage: President John F. Kennedy was the book he wrote. It is a source that tells what Jack Kennedy was really thinking since he wrote it himself. To really get to know him, that would be the best way to do so.
2. There were many pieces of interesting film in my video. The one that mainly caught my attention was when J.F.K. was at war. He was the captain of the PT-109. At one time they got bombed by Japan. The boat ended up sinking. 11 out of 13 men survived it though. No one knew they were still alive so the 11 were stranded on the island. Jack kept them alive, and fought to help them. The only problem was how to get in contact with the navy. Jack decided to carve a message into a unripe coconut shell. This shell was given to the natives who gave it to Australian coast watcher. They contacted the British who then contacted the navy. All were then rescued. As Jack was President, he kept the exact coconut shell on his desk in the white house that he carved the SOS message into. This was a very interesting part of my video.
3. My question is what father would be able to put his daughter into the position of having physcosurgery for an experiment for doctors? I do not understand how a father could do that to her daughter. She was permanently damaged from that and soon died after. I would have to blame the death of Rosemary Kennedy on her Father Joe Kennedy.
4. My response and last question will be under Morgan’s question.
