P.T. Barnum

By Jesse

P.T. Barnum was a circus leader. I will be telling you more about him and his career in this presentation. So, I hope you enjoy it and let us get into the presentation.

P.T. Barnum was born in Bethel Connecticut on July 5th, 1810. Into a family full of laughs and pranks. He died in Bridgeport April 17th, 1891. As a successful circus leader with his loving family.

One time when Barnum was a kid his family and neighbors played a prank on him. They said he was inheriting a grand place called Ivey Island and that he was so lucky to be getting it. But it was just a mess and so the Ivey Island prank became a historical thing. later in his life, he married a women named charity and they had 4 kids. Caroline, Helen, Frances, and poulaine.

P.T. Barnum once bought a museum, and it was his first business success. When he started his circus, he joined someone else and made P.T. Barnum's great traveling museum menagerie caravan and hippodrome. In this circus they had acts Such as animal shows, acrobat's, animal tamers, and musicians. Sometimes if the actors could not perform, he would step in for them. He was also featured as the main character of the Greatest Showman.

That was my report about the Greatest Showman Phineus Tayler Barnum. He was a good person and a wonderful performer. I hope you enjoyed my presentation now, bye.

Nikola Tesla

By Jesse
Nikola Tesla is one of the most important inventors in the world. His inventions are used in our electric systems, radios, and hydroelectricity. It would not be like what it is like today without him

Nikola was born in Croatia in 1856. He grew up on a farm and first noticed electricity when he pet his cat and got shocked. His mom invented things around the house. He was a curious child. Nikola also liked inventing things. In college he studied electrical engineering. He left college without a degree after his father died.

Nikola moved to New York to work with Thomas Edison, but they did not get along. It took Nikola 7 years to invent an electric motor with an alternating current (A.C.) instead of a direct current (D.C.). Once he invented it, there was a debate about whether A.C. or D.C. was better. Nikola worked with Westinghouse to show that A.C. was better because it could transmit electricity farther. Nikola’s final inventions include the first hydro powerplant on Niagara Falls and the first wireless radio communication.

Nikola died poor after giving his invention rights to Westinghouse. He died in New York city in 1943.

It is cool that he made inventions that changed the world. Even though he died poor, he now has a car named after him so maybe his work will be appreciated.
