two

This week, you will identify two historical or modern figures within the humanities around whom you'd like to build your course project. We explored some historical figures during our first week together - musicians, visual artists, actors, writers, architects, thinkers.

Devise a one-page synopsis of the two figures, historical or modern, who will be the focus of your project. The synopsis should also include your motivation for choosing these two and any similarities and/or differences between them.

This week's one-page assignment should be a representation of your selection process and not necessarily research-based. The research will come later.
