  2. 3 Interesting facts are
    1. Post WWII , New York City emerges as an economical and cultural world center
    2.preparatory school is a school that prepares students for college.
    3.The average wage at 1950s was $2,992 in America

    My prediction is that the book we are going to read sets the scene in the 1950s and the main character goes to a preparatory school.

  4. 1. Post WWII
    2. Economic growth
    3. In the 1950s, the first U.S. satellite, successfully orbited the earth.

    My prediction is that the book we are going to read sets in the late 1950s, and it will describe the 1950s in different ways.
