MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK
Dear Vinny of America,
Since the end of World War I there has been many changes with our new and first president. His name is Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He was a military hero in World War I. Ataturk has made many changes with our country. The men can no longer wear the fez in public and the women may not wear the veil. He gave the women the right to vote, and told them to go out and get a job and education, which many of the men were not very happy with. He did this because he felt that the men and women should have equal rights. The women are very unsure of themselves because they have never gone to school or had jobs so they don’t know what to do. Ataturk adopted the western clothing look and moved our capital from Istanbul to Ankara. One of the biggest changes that he made was introducing a new alphabet based on a Roman alphabet used in western European languages. Even though he has made so many changes with our country I kind of like him. Hope to hear from you soon.
From,
Kyle Marsalisi
