Albert Einstein is a hero. Albert is a hero because he went on a lecture to raise money for Zionism. Albert also did things to help his country. For example, he warned the US authorities of a German nuclear bomb. Albert found out that E=mc2 is the explanation for the effect of radioactivity.

Albert had many early problems as a kid. One of his problems was he wasn't paying attention in school. In school Albert was always quiet in school. Albert's parents were getting worried a lot about Albert. Albert's parents made him play the violin. In his lessons Albert wasn't doing very good in the beginning, then later he got even better. That is how Albert got smarter when he got older.

Albert Einstein was a smart person when he got older. He was a scientist too. He knew what made the needle in a compass move; he also knew a famous equation. The equation was very easy to him, this is what it looked like E=mc2. He was really concentrated on science, so every day he would go down to the science lab. In 1933, Einstein begins to work at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ. Again, in 1939, World War II begins, and Albert warns the US authorities of the possibility of a German nuclear bomb. Albert is a hero in many ways to me.

Albert had a lot of accomplishments in his life. Albert Einstein was so smart he got offered an academy teaching job in Zurich. Also in 1913, Einstein moves to Berlin to work at Berlin University. In 1930, Albert visited the California Institute of Technology for the first time. It was very exciting to Albert because he loves science and it has lots of tools he never saw before. Science was Albert's life. He did science every day. Albert was amazed with all the machines; there were also chalk boards full of equations. In 1926, the first version of Albert's controversial unified field theory is completed. Albert had more accomplishments but I can't list them all.

Albert did a lot of things to help the community. Albert went on a lecture tour of the U.S. to raise money for Zionism. At home he helped his kids with their homework, and he taught them some scientific things to. At his lab he would help some scientists to if they have problems. When he was doing job as a teacher he would tell his students about black holes and worm holes. When he would teach them that he would also tell them where they would take you. In 1952, Albert turns down an offer to be the president of Israel. There are many things that he did to help the community.

There are two things that might have been hard for him in 1902 his father Herman dies. Next, in 1920 his mother Pauline dies. Albert was really sad because one year after his mother died he got awarded the Nobel Prize for physics. Also he had to write four major scientific papers in 1905. Then in 1914, World War l begins, but then four years later it comes to an end. Albert was happy it came to an end because they had very little food. Many hard things happened to Albert when he was older.

People honored him because he did a lot of equations for them. Sometimes he would fill up a whole chalkboard for them. The town would also give him prizes and awards. Also he was happy in 1940, because he became a U.S. citizen. Next in 1945, the first automatic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, and World War II comes to an end. Albert was very happy about that too because it was hard for his wife and his kids. When Albert helped the people and they honored him.

There are three traits that would go good with him. First, he is smart because after he saw the compass he started to pay attention in school. Also because of the compass needle he got more interested in science. Second, he is appropriately dressed everyday he would wear the same thing. He wanted to save money for his home, so he washed them every night. Lastly, Albert's last trait would be old age because he lived for many years. The years were 1879-1955; they were a long time apart. Albert was an old man he had hair that was on the side of his head and a bald spot in the middle of his head. So when Albert was still alive he helped the other scientists with their problems. These are the three traits I thought were neat.

There is an important lesson you should learn from this book. The important lesson that I made up is if you don't like something or you're not good at it try harder, or do another topic. That's the lesson I made up for this book. As you can see Albert Einstein is an important person to me.
