"Albert Einstein"

I chose this specific character because I really like science (especially physics and chemistry), so this famous person is indicated for this essay. Also, I already know a lot about Albert Einstein, his life and inventions because a couple years ago I read a book written by Jess Brailler, named “Who was Albert Einstein” (convenient title for a book…). This is a very interesting book about a great scientist. It tells you all about Albert Einstein´s life. It's full of funny pictures and excellent explanations that anyone would perfectly understand. It even explains most of Albert´s theories, discoveries and creations, but not all of them as they are very numerous. He was a 24-hour thinker.

Although we learned many important historic characters in the Industrialization session, we didn’t mentions Einstein, who was very important, so it’ll be nice to investigate about him. Also, we will probably mention this character on the next semester in Science class, as he is crucial for many discoveries and inventions that we will most likely review. It's always nice to have your ideas fresh.

He was born on March 14, 1879. As a boy, he rarely talked but he loved reading. He loved peace and violence frightened him. Albert was always asking lots of difficult and curious questions everywhere: In his house, in school, with his partners, with everyone. His parents saw interest in science from him so they started buying books and scientific tools. Albert was fascinated, but his family hadn’t too much money.

Albert loved music. He played the violin. Albert didn´t went to elementary school, he taught himself reading as much as he can. He went to a German high school, but he didn’t like it, as all was very unfair in there.

Albert slowly started to publish papers, then magazines and finally books. Albert married a friend named Mileva Maric. He always was writing new ideas to publish them. He published many famous ideas and theories that revolutionized the world and the science world.

As Albert published more brilliant ideas, he was becoming more famous and well-known. But there was a problem: during his life, World War 1 and 2 started and Germans wanted to kill Albert because he was Jew, intellectual and pacifist (every aspect the Germans hated! Albert was constantly moving around the globe in an attempt to escape the Germans until the war was over, which he accomplished.

Albert was distracted with all his thinking and he forgot everything like eating and taking care of his hygiene. He invented the atomic bomb and with it, he stopped war. Albert leaved Mileva in Germany and married with Elsa to have a normal, pacific life after the war ended. He died on April 18, 1955, but never stopped thinking…

Consider this: Maybe the information is not that extensive, but remember: it was done only with my own knowledge from a book I read years ago. Also, the book is simple and for all ages, so this information is simple and short.
