About the Author
Hello everyone
Andrew and his family spend a lot of time studying history and learning about life in the 1700s. Do you enjoy studying history?
Yes, of course I do. Always is very interesting and important to know about past times, in universal, world and local terms.
Do you think you would enjoy living
outside sometimes as a reenactor? Why or why not?
Really that´s not my interest. I prefer another kinda activity
Andrew has a dog as a pet. Do you have any pet animals? What makes them special? What kind of animals would you like to see someday (in a zoo or in their natural habitat)?
Having a pet is a commitment as well. It becomes part of family. Any way, I´d love an african safary and see animals in their natural habitat. It would be awsome.
Thank you Maestro
Hello , hind from Iraq.
I didn’t enjoy studying history but must history study to know the origin of civilization .I didn’t know my feeling about enjoy living outside because in my country women movement is few and mostly available for men only.
I have many dogs when I’m young but I did not have it now.
I wouldn’t like see animals in zoo , I would like see in natural place without any restriction of any type they were.

Discussion Question
” History ” is the study of the past, throughout my life it has been my favorite subject. Through history, we can learn how past societies, systems, governments, cultures, and technologies were built. Knowing the past
in the present is quite interesting and fascinating.
Not very fond of animals except cats.
Greeting Maestro Sersea
Personally, I think the study of history is important in all the processes of our education and even though after to have gotten an schoolar grade or university grade we all remembered something interesting or importan event that happened and is related to an actual facts or othertimes, we have had to does a search about history, it could be about the second war, the independence of a country, or the holocaust or either other historic events that have marked our societies, and yes, sometime, I spent a few minute reading a little bit about something that pique my interest as have been in recent days the died and funeral to the Qeen Elizabeth II, this kind of event bring us to memory important facts in this case that have been notables about her reigned worldwide.
I believe that I never could´nt live outside as a reenactor. It seems to me, they are talented actriss or actors and I am not good in that kind of job.
Thank you so moch.
