Choose an historical event (something between 1965 to 2005) in the history of America, and write an essay, in narrative form, from the perspective of a participant/observer of the event. I want you to write the story from your perspective—not the perspective of a main historical figure (i.e. don’t tell the story through the eyes of someone like Kurt Cobain, or Martin Luther King). Your narrative should be limited to one day. Assume the audience knows the basic importance and relevance of the event to history. The idea is for you to tell a story using facts of history—like a movie “based on” a real event.
