History 121 Paper Assignment 3

Paper 3 Assignment Sheet – History 121 

You should choose a famous historical figure from European history (it could be someone we’ve studied, or not, but they have to be important) and an important event or events from the current day, and write a paper that analyzes what the historical figure would think of the current event.  You cannot just guess about this; you must find out what the historical figure thought and believed and use that information, and you must show what they might have thought about your current event. 

You might do something on what Alexander the Great would think about the war in Iraq, for example. 

You may not choose the following: 

Adolf Hitler
Martin Luther
Jesus Christ  Y

ou must have citations and a bibliography. 

You must have at least 5 sources, only 2 of which can be internet sources. 

Due:  Wednesday, May 11th.
