The written genre that could help me achieve my goals is narrative specifically crime fiction. Because the people are so curious to know how the characters will behave in that scene and some get really excited by seeing other’s actions and some get terrified by it. I personally think that this genre can help me write better in general because I am a law major myself and I really like solving the mystery, puzzles, murder stories, and revengeful stories fascinate me. The narrative genre for Crime fiction describes the terms like a detective story, murder mystery, mystery novel, and police especially on the investigation of any crime or an accident. Like how everyone is aware that a person has to make a police report after his/her accident so they know what actually has happened. The people or community I would like to hear from about my topic will be police officers, detectives, and intelligence agencies. Because that’s their everyday work and they can guide me with the best information.

Part 2:

The article “Second Deal” by History.com editors described the achievements and accomplishments of America’s economy during Franklin Roosevelt’s era. According to this article, New Deal projects and programs, such as the CCC, the WPA, the TVA, the SEC, and others new deal was introduced by FDR and how these programs helped America to build up its economic system back to where to it was. FDR was newly appointed as the president during the Great Depression. He gave a speech to his public which afterward gave people confidence and courage. He told people to stop withdrawing money from banks and after 3 days, told them to put back whatever they’d saved during these days back to the banks. He enabled the Federal Government to built dams along Tennessee rivers to protect them from flooding as well as giving payments to the farmers. Provided Jobs to the unemployed and they weren’t allowed to compete with private industry, so they focused on building things like post offices, bridges, schools, highways, and parks. Also gave work to artists, writers, theater directors, and musicians. African Americans and women entered the workforce. They shared a powerful belief that helping their government means helping their families, the economy, and the nation.

Part 3:

I agree with this article because this technique actually helped America and had impacted its economy by employing more than 8 million Americans by giving them different kinds of jobs. He introduced many programs so he could take his country out of crises. The Second New Deal was focused on economic recovery as I’ve said before. It ensured the public that they would be protected against unemployment and poverty. FDR introduced the Works Progress Administration (WPA), giving millions of Americans jobs constructing bridges, pools, stadiums, roads, and such. It also sent out many artists to paint buildings and paint murals. The Social Security Act (SSA) was also one of the programs that ensured unemployment insurance, aid to the elderly and disabled, and to families. It provided health coverage and income assistance too to poorly. FDR also helped farmers and other workers by the Agricultural Adjustment Act(AAA) helped to raise crop prices by lowering production.

As he was doing all this, he got a lot of hate and contravention from his opponents and some conservative justices that because of this depression, America was facing trouble regarding public relations with other countries. And that excuse gave his opponents to take a stand against him, which led the country’s economy slipped one more time and country went into its recession time but later on  Japan bombed pearl harbor which led America to entered WW2 and that’s how WW2 helped the USA to get out of that depression and as well as winning the war. The New Deal brought many women into government enforcement that they never expected. Women having their voices heard which happened just because of FDR. However, in other areas, women were unsuccessful. They were able to do men’s jobs because at that time all men went to serve their country for WW2 and women were used to do their Household and office working that’s how They got independent. When the banking system was at its peak to crush, FDR  immediately went to action. FDR closed all banks temporarily and he told everyone not to withdraw any kind of money instead of saving them. FDR also closed all the stock markets, no one was allowed to buy or sell anything, if someone did then they would be responsible for the frauds.  As he was doing that, introduced insurance called “The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation” (FDIC) which led to saved everyone’s deposits. So in the end, it shows that this article is right about whatever happened in the past and how FDR came over it with the help of his people ad his brilliantness.

Part 4:

“They created a brand-new if tenuous, political coalition that included white working people, African Americans cans and left-wing intellectuals. More women entered the workforce as Roosevelt expanded the number of secretarial roles in government. These groups rarely shared the same interests – at least, they rarely thought they did – but they did share a powerful belief that an interventionist government was good for their families, the economy and the nation”

“On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered World War II The war effort stimulated American industry and, as a result, effectively ended the Great Depression”

“Still, the Great Depression dragged on. Workers grew more militant: In December 1936, for example, the United Auto Worker strike at a GM plant in Flint, Michigan lasted for 44 days and spread to some 150,000 autoworkers in 35 cities”.

Why are you interested in this question?

New Deal was the plan introduced by President Roosevelt during the great depression. The reason I am interested in this topic is that it had some powerful and important accomplishments in American history indeed. It put people back to work, saved capitalism, restored faith in the American economic system, and at the same time, it built a sense of hope in the American people. There’s some stuff that I want to learn more about like what actually was the reason for the stock market to crash and how did the Second Deal took America out of those crises they were facing at that time?  As per my knowledge, President Roosevelt introduced many programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA), and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Which helps America’s economy better.

What do you expect to find in your research?

The things that I am looking forward to finding more are as I’ve said it before like what were the main reasons that cause Great Depression and how Second Deal was such an accomplishment for Americans back in the days? How patience people showed with the government because indeed it was a hard time. As we all know that President Roosevelt got triggered by his opposition that how his ideas wouldn’t really work out but they actually did. And how they(Americans)  got their economic status back as it was before.

What will you do if you find information that goes completely against what you had expected to find?

I try my best to cite from the websites that are actually accurate, try to avoid sites where people easily can put wrong stuff sometimes like an encyclopedia. But I am really satisfied with the cites I’ve used and moreover read a lot about this topic so I believe that I have a good amount of knowledge about this topic. I will mention all my sources but if accidentally I put false information that doesn’t really go with my topic,  most probably I will let someone read who has more knowledge about this topic than me, or else I research on my own by citing different sources and see whether they have the same information as mine.

What genres do you think might give you good information?

I think all genres can go with my topic because everyone is aware of it and every historian has written something about it. But obviously for others if they want to read about it, I would Prefer US history books, New York times websites/articles, and online cite like www.history.com and loc.gov. They have the best information for almost every historical incident.
