James Naismith




The inventor of Basketball 
by Darwin

I researched James Naismith for my biography bistro, and I'll show you what I learned, the first was why he made it then the second I tell you about his religion and the rules of basketball, the third which is his coaching career, and the last was his family.

First, I will talk about his religion, James Naismith was a coach at a YMCA December 1986 when he made basketball, he wanted a sport to play indoors in the winter, he was a muscular Cristian meaning they believed that the balance of physical Vigar, manliness, and Cristan faith.

Second is the rules of basketball, By his religion he didn't like the winter because there wasn't anything to do, so he made basketball, The rules where that you can't push, shove, and no running with the ball but you couldn't dribble yet to score you need to shoot in a basket tethered to the railing of the gym which was 10 feet high of the ground.

Next I will talk about his coaching career, the basket wasn't a peach basket but an apple instead, when basketball started to catch on he was the only coach at Kansas to have a losing record of 55 to 60, He used a soccer ball for the ball then changed in 1894 to a basketball, basketball was played in the Olympics

Lastly I will tell you about his family He was married twice his first wife was Maude Evelyn Sherman, they married in 1894 she had 5 children then she died in 1937, two years later he married Florence B. kiwaid the same year he died from a cerebral hemorrhage, months away for it becoming an Olympic event.

Thank you for reading my paper, I hope you learned something.

Charles Darwin


by Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin he is an interesting guy first of he made the theory of Evolution and his taste of exotic food let's talk about it so Charles Darwin Known for his adventurous spirit, he was a fan of exotic food, including armadillos, iguanas, pumas and giant tortoises, he famously declared a 20 pound rodent to be ‘the best meat I ever tasted’ he was a member of the ‘Glutton club’. and his theory he was famous for his theory of evolution by natural selection, which revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and is the foundation of modern evolutionary Biology.

So, he had a lot of kids like 10 kids sadly his first Daughter died he was devastated by her death by tuberculosis ate age 10, his second daughter Mary lived for only 23 days, the Darwin's last child Charles waring born when Emma was 48 years old, was a down syndrome baby who died of scarlet fever at 18 months old.

He was born in shrew bury, England his father, a doctor, had high hopes that his son would earn a medical degree at Elinburg university in Scotland. Charles Darwin, known for this theory of evolution, grew his beard at age 56, possibly as a deliberate effort to disguise himself. Charles Darwin dropped out of med school at the University of Edinburgh because he was deeply uncomfortable with the brutality of surgery and the sight of blood, as well as feeling little interest in medical practice.

He was religious and had some views evolved over time, starting with belief in God as first cause. His last words were ‘I am not the least afraid of death remember me tell all of my children to remember how good they have been good to me,’ last sentence, he also sadly died in 1882 at age 73 with symptom of ischæmic and cardiac failure, Although less, he still had episodic nausea and vomiting,

Charles Darwin's visit to the Galapagos Island in 1835 while on HMS profoundly influenced his development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. I hope you like it thank you to the people on the internet.
