introduction
Best known for:
He is best known for being the lead singer of the world famous rock band, the beatles.
Three Key Qualities:
-Peaceful-knew how to deal with hardship & challenges-compassionate
What I find interesting:
I find him interesting because he also wanted peace and no war.
he never had any music lessons. he taught himself as he went along.
I CHOSE THIS PERSON BECAUSE...
I wanted to know how the beatles were changemakers and I love music.
Famous Quotation:
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John's mom gothit by a car whenhe was seventeenand died. he washeartbroken.
I think that if it was one of myparents, I WOULD BE SO SAD BECAUSE I LOVE THEM AND HE PROBABLY LOVED HER.
THE BEAtles wrote songs that made people feel good. they understood people's feelings really well.
I think that it feels good to write and listen to songs that make people feel happy and good.
before the beatles were famous, they had to play in dark clubs until late at night and people were yelling at them. they played so long that they drank and ate on stage. they didn't even take a break.
i think i wouldn't give up even if people were yelling at me because it was just one club and other people could want to listen.
JOHN, PAUL AND GEORGE WEReN'T CRAZY ABOUT their DRUMMER. SO THEY ASKED RINGO TO BE THeir permanent DrUMMER.
I THINK THAT John, paul and george wanted to have a good band and so they asked ringo who had filled in for them before.
when John got famous, he used his fame to fight for people's rights. he wanted peace and no war in vietnam.
I think I would fight for people's rights too!
john's family was fighting when he was younger, but he was a happy kid.
i think that he was thinking about happy things, like his dreams.
many people still listen to the beatles and people get inspired by them. Also, i think other musicians learned from their songs and style of playing.
