History Is Not Boring Novels & Stories

Suddenly they're talking about the equinox festival, and I'm spared. "You can always change your major again," Harvey says. "Yeah, I'm thinking I'll give history a go again." "What part of history would you most want to learn about?" I set my fork on the rim of my plate. "The Victorians, probably, and not just because this is a very Victorian town, and I live in a very Victorian house." He asks, "What is it about them?" "Their attention to detail, obsession with death, misuse of poisons, gothic novels — they're so theatrically strange. I think it'd be fun."

The thought of those still lingering made me feel a bit anxious, but at least I had time to prepare. As I sat at my desk in my room, the warm afternoon light streaming through the window, I flipped through my notes for History. I always found it fascinating—learning about the past, how societies grew, and the events that shaped the world we live in. But as much as I enjoyed it, the sheer amount of information I had to memorize was overwhelming. I sighed, setting my notes aside for a moment and stretching my arms above my head. "Okay, Nicole, focus," I muttered to myself, picking up my highlighter and going over the important dates in bold on my paper.

They were all excited about it because they knew they were going to be helping, uprising each other so well, and with love. "So Nicole... What did you think of that? I mean we all know you are as spruce as we are here, so wassup"? Anaisha asked her out of phenomenon but she didn't believe her story. "No! Damn you! I'm dead serious here, there are things that still lock me up like History, that subject can be shit at times, Teddy surpasses in it, I mean, the only topics I can comprehend is the First world war, second world war, the.. What's this thing called whereby there was an economic crisis in the US? Or its ahhm 'the hyperinflation😀 yes, that topic is clear, nothing screws your mind in

Quan snapped out of her reverie when the bell struck twice. Mrs. Hilda left the room and a few moments later, another teacher entered the second grade. Mr. Kei is a friendly and humorous face, but even so, he remains firm. Quan liked this one teacher for his lesson: Dark History. Dark History is not always as dark as its name, but other students still like it because it is quite interesting. Sometimes the lessons learned are not always in public books outside of school.

"Why did you get it?" "Well at a certain point in my life, I felt lost without purpose, like apart of me was missing, in hopes of making my present clear I went back to the past. Digging up history and researching for myself since the only black history taught in school revolves around slavery since they want that to be the root of who we are when in reality we are more," I started loving how interested she was when it came to me.

That was all that he could do. Evan felt his face twist with discomfort as he considered the dire change in their host and his demeanor. Whatever happened, it wasn’t good. He was sure they were about to hear about it, but his stomach wasn’t settled with whatever it was already. He never had liked history because of this. There was just way too much tragic stupidity associated with it.

be. “What are you reading?” I asked, my gaze drifting to the book she’d set aside. She glanced at it, her fingers brushing over the cover before she answered. “It’s just a novel about a historical figure, nothing too exciting.” I leaned in a bit, intrigued despite myself. “You like history?” She chuckled softly. “I suppose I do. It’s just that... I find it fascinating how much we can learn from the past. There are so many lessons hidden in the stories of those who came before us.”

Solange He nodded, swinging higher now, “yeah, finding yourself, deep stuff, bro, school’s kicking my ass too, all those classes piling up, like who needs math when you’re gonna end up flipping burgers anyway?” I laughed for real this time. It was not just a small fake laugh. It came from my chest and surprised me a little. I pushed my swing harder with my feet so I could move up to his level. The chains made that small metal sound as they moved. “Math? Try history,” I said. “It is boring as hell. Memorizing dates like my life depends on it. Kings, wars, treaties, old dead people. What’s your worst class?”

Astrid I’ve been in this class for twelve minutes and already I want the ground to swallow me whole. It’s boring. But how else would it be when Professor Baikey—with his hawk-like stare and that voice that sounds like he’s speaking through his goddamn nose—is the one talking about history? My least favorite subject. The air smells like paper and stale ink and boredom. Professor Baikey paces the front like a drill sergeant in a stiff, salt-and-pepper suit. His shoes click against the tile like a metronome of doom. My fingers twitch around my pen.

I massage my temples, feeling a migraine forming. This is a history lesson I never thought I would willingly be looking into. I mean, I hated history in school. I loathed it with passion and if I wasn’t forced to, I never would have made myself go through the multitude of books talking about my dead ancestors and how they came to be of power. The things that you do for love, really.
