toys travel around the world image
The Thinke
Ok I am always on the look out for new ideas for non fiction books that people would want to read and most importantly buy! My main love is fiction but I want to write more non fiction. I want to challenge myself to do something that would make an interesting read. Was toying with the idea of doing 52 jobs in 52 weeks or 52 voluntary jobs in 52 weeks but this has proved impossible to organise due to money issues. I am already doing a challenge where I am doing something different every week but I am looking for some fun ideas. Can you think of any personal challenge ideas that work work for a non fiction book? I'd really love to travel around the world but of course that isn't possible but there must be some amazing ideas out there. Best idea gets 10 points and a signed copy of my first book to be published lol
I am currently doing something unusual every week for a non fiction book. Things like one week with no telly or one week alcohol free, a day trip a day for a week, that kind of thing. I am also adding a short story to each weekly challenge and hopefully the book will be self published after 52 weeks.
Answer
have a conversation with 52 strangers you'd normally not notice or even avoid. When you report on them, don't use their real names and shift the details so you're not doing them any harm or revealing their real secrets, but let the readers get to know these invisible types
visit 52 different churches/temples/mosques/atheist discussions
Do 52 random acts of kindness (clean up spilled trash, repaint a rickety old fence, plant flowers by an abandoned house, pick those flowers three months later and give them to a sad-looking person)
Draw out 52 routes to walk from your front door, and take those walks with a sense of curiosity and adventure; make us see buildings, plants, people, and events we'd otherwise take for granted.

How did the United States behave on the international scene around the turn of the century.?

How did the United States behave on the international scene around the turn of the century. Were we an imperialist power? Give three detailed examples to justify your answer.
Answer
20th century America was wildly imperialist.
After the Spanish-American War in 1898, America became an imperial power, owning Hawaii, Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The Open Door Policy was established during TR's presidency, in the early 20th century. Theodore Roosevelt mediated the fight between Japan and Russia in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. The San Francisco School Board also had a conflict with the Japanese about the same time, which resulted in the Gentlemen's Agreement, in which it was agreed that segregation would end in exchange for a halt in immigration to the American mainland. America built up it's navy, the "Great White Fleet" and travelled all around the world, showing off their shiny new military toys.
