Historical Narrative Assignment

You will locate an example of historical narrative-it may be an excerpt from an autobiography, it may be an interview, it may be a monologue from a film, it may even be a story told to you by an elder family member/close friend. What is important, is that the narrative be a personal account of narrative related to an event in history.

If the narrative is a monologue in a film or an oral story told to you via an in person meeting, you must draft a quick summary of the event or locate a copy on the internet and include the link for me to view. If the narrative is in writing, or a typed interview, simply include that written story in the beginning of your paper.

Your paper must include the following:

2 pages total:

1st section: How the account impacted you-what about the story affected you? How did it make you feel? What thoughts did it bring up for you?

2nd section: Please relate the narrative studied with a theme we have discussed in our class. It may be an element of narrative we have discussed, a narrative theory we have discussed, simply choose 1 topic, concept, or narrative style we have covered in class that you specifically located in their historical narrative.

3rd and final section: The so what-Why is this narrative you are studying important? How does this person’s narrative reflect a bigger picture?
