But one day she was just tired of people just telling her what to do. So she stood up for what it is right. Nothing can be worse than people telling you where to sit, where to drink, and where to go to school. It was brutal being treated like that.

The Industrial Revolution had modernized technology and the 1871 Great Fire Of Chicago burned thousands of urban wooden structures. These events impacted the way he thought about design.

He was tutored by the Aristotle, and invaded and conquered most of Europe and Asia (as well as Egypt). Jane Goodall (Camilla Ffrench) was a primatologist who observed and lived with chimps for over 30 years. She now fights for them, so the forests they live in aren't torn down and they are protected from poachers. Marilyn Monroe (Eden Bruening) did not act to get money. She wanted to be a wonderful actress and have a good time doing it. She did not like being just a face on the screen and that is why she went to New York City in 1954 to improve her career and find more opportunities in life. Jacques Cousteau (Alexandra Kaminski) was a famous oceanographer. He created things like scuba gear, and underwater bases. He also made a TV show about his explorations. He died in 1997 and is remembered by millions.
