essay

imagine that you are a Puritan, Quaker, a Native American or a European explorer, who stumbles upon a Delorean, time travels to the future, to the year 2017, and happens on the scene of the worst mass shooting in modern American history in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In your DB response, you should write in the first person, and address the following questions:

What do you think of modern American gun violence? Does it surprise you, shock you or does it make you feel sad or disappointed in the America you helped to create? How would you define America today versus the America you know? How does this violence compare to violence in your own time?

In your 250 words response citing at least 1 of the course readings related to the historical figure you choose (the person may be specific or simply an ordinary Puritan, Quaker, Native American or European explorer," you should also consider the following comment, which you also happen to read in a local newspaper from a law enforcement official, about the violence:

"This is a uniquely American scene."

You must also respond to one of your classmates in at least 100 words.
