  1. When I learned that Alfred was born in Sweden, it made me think that the reason the winners of the Nobel prizes is decided in Sweden is because he was born there. I thought it was cool that his father was an inventor. When Alfred moved back to Sweden he conducted experiments with nitroglycerine which killed many people. I wonder how he felt... It's cool that he invented dynamite. In his will he wrote that he wanted his fortune to prizes for physics, chemistry ,phsiology or medicine, literature, and peace. I never knew there were so many categories. Reading about his life was really interesting.
