Napoleon... the Theme Park

Today, I read a blog post on a new Theme park that is going to open at France in 2014. This theme park is called "Napoleon's Bivouac". Basically, it is a historical theme park that would help you learn about the history of France during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, and also have fun. I really want to visit this place when it is open since I am a person who likes to learn about history, but I also love to have fun. If I had a chance to visit that place. One attraction I would like it to have is a roller coaster. I think a roller coaster is a really good way teach people about history. There might be paintings on the wall or sound to give information. I also think that a roller coaster would be very fun because most big theme parks have extraordinary roller coasters. A history-themed park can help people learn or appreciate history because kids nowadays like to have fun and go to the theme park. Most of them do not like sitting in a classroom and just reading it from text books. That is why, with a historical theme park, it will attract children from all around the world, they could have fun and they would also get historical facts without them noticing it.

Courage : Born with or not?

Some people may think they are born with courage because they don't remember doing anything to develop it. But actually, courage is something you can develop and you might not even notice it. In school, your teacher might ask you a question and you raise your hand to answer it. By doing this, you are already developing courage; intellectual courage to be exact. Another example is talking to people who you are not familiar with, or making new friends; by doing this is, you showing emotional courage, or the courage to open up to others. In the story, "The Wizard of Oz", the lion thinks he doesn't have courage. But by travelling with Dorothy to the palace of the wizard, he is already showing social and emotional courage. In conclusion, I believe that courage is not something you are born with but it is something that you can develop.
