What is History?
...
Well that was easy. Was it even necessary to start with this, he'd been 'learning' the subject for over two years... HERE... and a great deal longer in Muggle school.
Hand up, Zeke figured now might be his only opportunity to participate. "History is the study of events that occurred in the past, the people who lived in the past, the way things were in the past and how it has led to how we are today. We can do this by looking at evidence from the time like artefacts and written things which are primary sources. But more often the history we learn is the one that is considered to be most significant, but it doesn't mean that we get a true impression of a time. And to add to that, the perspectives that we're taught may be biased through what the government wants us to learn or biased because of your own personal preference or perspective to a time that we learn. If people don't like Goblins, then they're less likely to teach to Goblin's perspectives of the issues that led to the Goblin Rebellions." Yeah, yeah.... how do you like them apples?!
So.. in summation, Hisotry sucked. He wondered how many people had been ripped off by the 'study' of History. How many peoples names and actions had been forgotten? Whenever he went ANYWHERE there were billions of monuments for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, but did he know anything about them? No.
