Margaret ('Molly') Brown

The Unsinkable

By: Tea

Margaret Brown is very well know. She was known as Molly Brown, the most and some of her other names were Maggie Brown and Margaret Tobin. A fun fact is they made a Broadway musical on "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". Margaret was most commonly known for being making the survivors committee, which I will talk about later. You will be learning about Margaret Brown's early life, her titanic experience, and just the end of her life.

Here are some facts on when she was born and where she was raised. She was born on July 18, 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri (near the Mississippi river). Her personality is that she doesn't care if she fits in she just loves her dramatic hats. She's a go get it kind of girl. She then moved to Colorado.

Molly had her first child in 1887 and then her next in 1889. Her kids are two years apart. Her titanic experience was a big part in her life. She helped many, many people stay alive She was super awesome because she raised $10,000 and started a survivors committee, elected for chair before even reaching land.

Molly was most known for her social welfare, for women, children, and workers. So, she sadly passed away on October 26, 1932 from a brain tumor. She was age 65 when she passed away which was pretty good for back then.

I feel that Margaret Brown was a wonderful and a go get it girl. When I read about her I want to just go about and do something amazing. Just reading about her make my jaw drop while I'm gasping about her being so amazing. Margaret just exhilarates me!

"Hi, I have just got back from the Titanic. Honestly I wish that the captains would have taken control but if they weren't going to take control then I was going to take control so that's what I did. That was very frustrating but if i freaked out it would be no help so I just had to keep peoples morals up! So do you have any questions?"

Isadora Duncan

Isadora Duncan; Modern Dancer

Biography By: Téa

I am researching Isadora Duncan who is a Modern Dancer. She is the Mother of Modern Dance. A fun fact is her dancers were called Isadorables. Then when they got older they wanted to change their name to Isadora Duncan's Dancers. I am super excited for you to read my essay on Isadora Duncan.

Isadora was born on May, 27 1877 in San Francisco. Her first memory was of a fire, when she was 2 or 3. The Duncan's father surprised the Duncan's by giving them a mansion in San. Francisco.

Isadora Duncan's father was a banker. Sadly he lost his money very quickly. When Isadora was 5 months old Joseph (Isadora's Dad) went bankrupt. Isadora's dad left them so the cops would about money. The Duncan's father surprised the Duncan's by giving them a mansion in San. Francisco.

She rejected ballet classes almost immediately when she began them. Isadora Duncan agreed to adopt some kids because they wanted to learn how to dance Isadoras's way. When she had to leave them she either left them in a boarding school or with her siblings. She wanted to create her own type of dance. She never extended her leg fully always just a little.

She wanted to take a ride a car she liked so when the car arrived; She threw on her shall and jumped in the car then when the car started to move the shall(which was around her shoulder), got stuck in the tire and got tighter and tighter around her neck after a few seconds she passed away.

Isadora Duncan's life had a few bumps in the road but she is a great person and she had a great life. I think she is amazing because she preserved for what she really wanted to do.
