The Geezer Bandit became important to me during a conversation with my dad when he first told me about him. I had no prior knowledge of him before this conversation, my dad told me all the things he did and that banks had increased their security. I thought this this guy was just another bank robber at first. Then when I was lying in bed that same night listening to music trying to get to sleep I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was thinking about how he had changed the bank system for good. At that time I realized that even though he had done some bad things, they have had a positive out-turn on the bank system. I truly believe that what he has done is a good thing.
Al Capone
He is important is the same way as the Geezer bandit, he has done some very, very bad
things in his life. Because of him the FBI was formed and the judicial system had a complete
overhaul because of him. Now I believe more in what the Geezer Bandit did, but I think that
Al Capone was important to america.
Ellis Island
To me this icon represents both the worst sides and best sides of US. The worst side
being how they treated some of the immigrants when they came to the island. It was extremely
bad conditions, but while the conditions where bad it was one of the most important time
periods for america. During the time that Ellis Island was open the US got some of the widest
diversity in any country in the world. That is why it shows the worst and the best of the US.
