Edit the descendants of immigrants in this paragraph.

The Kennedys are descendants of immigrants from Ireland to the United States. 1848 A poor Irishman named Patrick Kennedy crossed the ocean and came to Boston, USA. He is only 26 years old this year. He soon found a job in a barrel factory, made some money, and settled down to get married and have children. Ten years later, he died of cholera, and the responsibility of taking care of the family was borne by his widow. A little later.

Patrick Joseph, the only son of this family, grew up a few years ago. In order to earn money to support his family, he dropped out of school and worked as a porter at the dock. After saving some money, he opened a beer house, became a small boss, and began an American dream of getting rich. Patrick Joseph is good at business, and the pub business is booming. After that, he began to dabble in politics. After running for the state legislature, he married Mary, the daughter of a wealthy hotel owner, and gave birth to his son Joseph Kennedy. Patrick Joseph is far-sighted. In order to give his children the best education, he sent his son to Harvard University.

After graduation, Joseph Kennedy became the chairman of a bank with the support of his father, and claimed to be the youngest bank chairman in the United States. The later history is the history of the Kennedy family, and Joseph made a lot of money by engaging in various speculations. In order to make it easier for children to enter the society in the future, he also moved his family to new york. After accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, Joseph began to pay attention to political activities. He paid special attention to a potential presidential candidate. This man is the later famous franklin roosevelt. Joseph knew Roosevelt before and thought that he was the leader needed by the country. Helping him run for office also helped him enter politics. So Joseph began to help Roosevelt raise funds and accompanied Roosevelt on campaign trips many times. For some reason, after Roosevelt was elected president, he was not entrusted with an important task, but was appointed as the chairman of the newly established CSRC. Joseph took a fancy to the position of finance minister. Nevertheless, Joseph remained loyal. 1935, he "wrote" a book about the election campaign, I support Roosevelt (actually written by a reporter), and then sent it to Roosevelt. Roosevelt only replied to a short message: "The book is good, I am very happy." Joseph took this reply on the note as a treasure, framed it and hung it at home, boasting whenever guests came. His loyalty to Joseph was rewarded by Roosevelt, who appointed him as the ambassador to Britain in 1937. This is something that an Irish Catholic descendant never dared to think about before. However, although Joseph is good at making money, he is still very clumsy politically. After less than three years as a diplomat, he was recalled to the country. Roosevelt didn't appoint him to any post, and he disappeared from politics. But he is unwilling, he wants his four sons to go into politics; Reach the pinnacle of one's career [1]

They have nine children, and naturally four boys have political potential. The four boys are the eldest son Joseph Kennedy, the second son John F. Kennedy, the third son Robert Kennedy and the fourth son Edward Kennedy. Joseph knew from his own experience that in order for his sons to have status, they must have money first, so that they would never have to worry about their lives. He set up some trust funds and provided $20 million to his children and wife.

The death of Kennedy's brothers and sisters

In the father's mind, the most qualified of the four sons is the eldest son Joseph Jr., but the ruthless war shattered his wishful thinking. In the war against Germany, Joseph joined the army and became a pilot. 1944, he was ordered to blow up the V- 1 missile launcher of Nazi Germany. During the mission, the plane he was flying exploded over Britain because of a malfunction, and he and the co-pilot were blown to pieces. This is a disaster that befalls the troubled Kennedy family in the future. Two weeks later, the bad news came. The second daughter Catherine's new husband, Lord Haddington of England, was shot and killed by German gunmen while fighting in France. A few years later, the widowed Catherine had a new boyfriend, the Earl of fitzwilliam in England. 1948 may 13 two people rented a small plane to go to France for their holiday, and both of them crashed in the strong wind in the mountainous area and were killed. After the death of the eldest son, the family's hopes were more pinned on the second son, John Kennedy. According to what John F. Kennedy later said, "My brother Joseph is a natural candidate for politics. If he were still alive, I would continue to be a writer. If I die, my brother will become a senator. If anything happens to him, my other brother will run for us. " A son inherits his father's career and a younger brother inherits his brother's career, just like a political sequence diagram.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy's greatest political achievement was being elected president of the United States in 1960. His father Joseph is the chief planner and director to realize the president's dream. He spent a lot of money to mobilize the press and publishing circles and bombard his son. His son eventually became the youngest president in American history. When John F. Kennedy formed a cabinet, his old father asked him to put his brother Robert in the cabinet, and Robert got the position of attorney general as he wished. This is the political pinnacle of the Kennedy family.

1963165438+1On October 22nd, the Kennedys went to Dallas to canvass for re-election. At noon 12: 30, a bullet hit Kennedy's head from a building beside the street, breaking his skull. Kennedy was stabbed to death. For more than 30 years, many people have been dissatisfied with this conclusion and made various speculations about Kennedy's death. Some people think that another gunman ambushed nearby during the assassination and shot Kennedy in the head. As for the manipulator behind it, there are even more stories, Cuban exiles, Cuban agents, CIA, mafia. Soviet intelligence agencies and other statements. Oliver stone, the great director of Hollywood, also filmed a film called Kennedy on 1993, suggesting that the power figures within the US government planned this conspiracy. The film even got an Oscar nomination. It seems that the mystery of Kennedy's assassination will not be clarified for a short time. [2]

After the assassination of President Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy became the head of the Kennedy family. His mother whispered to him; "Son, it's your turn now." 1968, Robert decided to run for president, and it seemed possible for the Kennedy family to have another president. Unfortunately, at a public meeting, a young man shot him in the head, and Robert died in the hospital. The murderer is a Palestinian refugee named Saihan, who hates Robert's strong pro-Semitic tendency.

Edward Kennedy lost the election.

Three brothers were killed, leaving only Edward Kennedy, who is also trying to sprint to the political peak.

[Kennedy Jr.]

Kennedy Jr

1969 was elected as the deputy leader of the democratic party in the Senate, and he is expected to become a hot figure in the presidential election of 1972. But 1969 An accident happened in July, which ruined his future. One night, he and a beautiful blonde, Miss Copney, drove back to the hotel, and the car fell into the river while crossing a small bridge. Edward escaped, but the girl died in the car. Edward didn't report the case in time. This incident damaged the reputation of the Kennedy family and forced Edward to give up running for president.

In the next generation of the Kennedy family, the situation is also quite bad. Several people are "addicts" who are crazy about taking drugs. Robert Kennedy's son Bobby 1983 was also sentenced for taking drugs. His brother David is even worse. The next year, he died of drug abuse. Originally, the last hope of this family was pinned on John F. Kennedy Jr. He was handsome, very popular and had the strength to revitalize the Kennedy family politically. Some even estimate that as long as he announces his candidacy, there will not be many people who can compete with him. But this air crash almost cut off the last hope of the Kennedy family. Perhaps the troubled Kennedy family should pin their hopes for a comeback on the next generation.

Children were killed in Joseph Kennedy.

Fitzgerald, a famous American writer, once said, "You name a hero and I'll tell you."

A tragic story. "And the Kennedy family with a history of 200 years can undoubtedly verify this statement. Joseph Kennedy gave birth to four men, five women and nine children. They seem to have political talent, but at the same time they have become targets of some destructive forces. 1944, Joseph's son and naval pilot Joseph Kennedy died in a plane crash in World War II.

1948, Joseph's daughter kathleen kennedy died in a plane crash in France.

1963, John F. Kennedy, Joseph's second son and the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas.

Edit the family role of this paragraph.

This family is full of competition and eager to prove itself.

Father is always competitive, and he always feels that he is not good enough if he doesn't be the first. As long as any child

[residence]

residential building

I was locked in the kitchen and ate alone without winning the first prize. No matter how many firsts children win, they still need to win again and again with their own actions, and at the same time strive for the constant recognition of their parents. -Joseph Kennedy's fifth child, eunice Kennedy Shriver said.

This family has a strict discipline: when eating, all children must sit down five minutes before meals and wait for their father. Mother Rose posted the news of the day's events on the newspaper in the corridor leading to the restaurant, so that the children could read some articles when they passed by and take part in the debate at the dinner table.

The Kennedy family has two clippers, which can only sail during training and competition. Every time I set sail, my father would watch it through a telescope in the harbor and make a comment at the end. Once, Robert accidentally fell into the sea while turning a corner. He was still far from the coast, but little Joseph didn't save him, but set sail. The children abide by the motto of "all for victory" and absolutely obey their father's orders. Among the three brothers, Joseph, John and Robert, the motto "Everything is for victory" often causes fierce competition among them. When Edward Kennedy was a wet behind the ears, he shouted, cursed, cursed and groaned from his brothers' rooms, scared to death. In order to win the father's appreciation, anything can be used as a reason to struggle.

Lack of family warmth leads to narcissism.

Joe (Joseph's nickname) leads a football team instead of a family. He is a coach, a manager and a referee. Rose's job is to chatter around the children, and the purpose of constant intervention is only one, so that the children can win every game at any cost. -Ronald Kessler, author of Joseph Kennedy's biography "Father's Sin", said:

In the family of Joseph Kennedy and Ross Kennedy, the father's image is severe, dictatorial and cold; Mother is also born with a look of refusing people away. Some psychologists have analyzed that such a family is an excellent hotbed of narcissism. Joseph used all means, including sarcasm, sarcasm and ridicule, to control the children. On the other hand, Ross Kennedy is a fanatical Catholic, and all the feelings belonging to ordinary people seem to have disappeared. "Ms. Kennedy never said that she loved her children," said Liula hennessey, the children's nanny. "All she wants is for them to show her respect." Otto Kernberg, the most authoritative person in narcissism research, listed some images of indifferent parents in his classic research work Marginal State and Pathological Narcissism, one of which was Rose Kennedy.

Inner restlessness implies adventure genes.

Like all adventurous people, the actions of Kennedy family members may be due to the inherent high return of adventure. Dr moyers, a professor of genetics, said. Tired and uneasy, Kennedy was always looking for new excitement. 1993, that is, one year before the death of Jacqueline Kennedy onassis, molecular biologists discovered DRD47R, a gene that is considered to be directly related to risk-taking. The news immediately caught Jacqueline's attention. Jacqueline told the biographer that she was particularly interested in several points in this discovery. For example, in 50% of people with distraction characteristics, some changes have taken place in the DRD47R gene, which may be the case with her son John. Among alcoholics and drug addicts, there are more people with this gene than those without bad hobbies. The Kennedy family with the above hobbies is obviously higher than the normal level. "The best evidence that the DRD47R gene may exist in the Kennedy family is the frequent and exciting risk-taking behavior in this family." Dr. Robert Moyesis, a professor of molecular genetics at the University of California, Evelyn, said, "Individuals with this gene tend to be extroverted and have more courage to try than the average person. Therefore, they have also made remarkable achievements. Obviously adventure also has its negative effects. "

abstract

After being "abandoned" by the historical channel which specializes in making documentaries, the controversial 8-episode mini-series "The Kennedy Family" finally found a new owner: Reelz channel. Cable TV immediately announced the broadcast time: April 3, 20 1 1.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reelz Channel is an independent cable TV station, which belongs to the family business Hubbard Media Group. This company is located in Minneapolis and has many local radio and TV stations all over the United States. Therefore, compared with the history channel, the Reelz channel comes from the late former US President John F. caroline kennedy, John F. Kennedy's daughter, Kennedy's niece Maria Shriver, and Hyperion Publishing Company may have less complicated troubles behind the scenes.

Greg kinnear plays former American President John F. Kennedy in Little Miss Sunshine and Ghost Town. Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy is played by Tom Cruise's 32-year-old wife katie holmes. Katie Holmes, "Mrs Tom", sometimes wears a noble dress, sometimes a flowered skirt and shoulders ambiguous with Greg kinnear, and sometimes a white dress to show off her gentleness, much like Jacqueline Kennedy. In fact, the former first lady is highly respected by the American people because of her friendly personality, beautiful appearance and fashionable dress. Robert Kennedy (Kennedy's younger brother) is starred by barry pepper, the actor of Saving Private Ryan.

The Kennedy family was originally planned to be broadcast by the history channel, but it was suspected of tampering with history and confusing people. Since its publication in June 5438+February 2009, it has caused great controversy among historians who study the Kennedy family and the political left. Theodore Sorenson, an adviser to former President Kennedy, called the play "revenge" and "malice" on the front page of The New York Times.

Although the history channel immediately invited experts to review and put forward suggestions for revision, under external pressure, in order to avoid getting angry, the broadcast plan had to be cancelled. A spokesman for the History Channel said: "Although the film is of super high quality in terms of performance and production, after watching the final sample, we think that such a dramatic interpretation does not conform to the historical brand image that the channel has been building."
