This assignment should be at least 300 words and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative which you find compelling.  For full credit, your journal entry must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there.  Rather, I am looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, and/or discuss some original insight.  Include citations as needed.
