The American Dream 2.0
Is it owned or borrowed?
Once we interviewed our person we wrote a two page essay of their experience, including powerful quotes we took note of. After we did some research on the decade our person came of age in. Myrna came of age in the 1970's so I did some research on my decade. We made connections with the historical events that occurred in that time period to the obstacles our person ran into. Myrna faced gender inequality and in the 1970's the Women's Liberation Act happened. So in all we did a two page personal story of our person and did a two page essay of the historical part. It ended up being four pages of essay which was a bit of a challenge at first but once I started writing it wasn't an issue.
