I liked the 2nd PowerPoint the best because it had the most information and the
most detail. I think it was also the prettiest because it had the most paintings and illustrations.
Also whenever it was talking about a location it had a map to show you said location. I liked
how they didn’t just talk about napoleon they also talked about what was going on in France. I
liked the open ending it was a good way to end the PowerPoint. I loved the paintings it had they
were beautiful. I found the second power point to be the prettiest because it had lots of
illustrations and artwork and lots of information.
