In 1935, a man was riding his motorcycle when he saw two boys in the road. He tried not to hit them, but he fell off his motorcycle and died from the accident on May 19. His name was T. E. Lawrence. When he was in his twenties, Lawrence went to the Middle East to study. World War I started, and he helped the Arabs fight against the Ottoman Empire. In 1962, they made a movie about his life. The title is “Lawrence of Arabia.” It is almost four hours long, but many people think that it is one of the best movies ever made. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
