“We must study through reading, listening, discussing, observing and thinking. We must not neglect any one of those ways of study. The trouble with most of us is that we fall down on the latter – thinking – because it’s hard work for people to think… All of the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.”— Thomas J. Watson, Founder of IBM
A courtroom artist’s job is to sit in court and draw images based on what they see in a trial. This includes pictures of the judge, lawyers, witnesses, and the person on trial. This is an important job because in many countries, cameras aren’t allowed in the courtroom. News channels must rely on their drawings to show what is happening in court.

That means that this book eventually led to the end of slavery.

The dodo was one of the strangest-looking animals that ever lived. These large birds had a long, green beak and lived on the island of Mauritius. Unlike most birds, they could not fly.
They got the name dodo because the sailors who discovered them thought they were stupid creatures. Dodos had no natural predators, so they weren't afraid of anything that might hurt them. This made it easy for people to hunt and kill the poor birds.
