“Strange and marvelous things you see…or have seen: Walt Whitman’s “Ethiopia” made generationally personal”…
Choose two historical events and add your own personal memory and perspective upon them. What was so “strange and marvelous” about them? What might you tell your children and grandchildren about these events? What words of “present-day wisdom” might you impart to them from this memory?
Please make this exercise a personal reflection, as each of our memories are indeed personal. You may use the Internet in the event you need additional background information as you write.
