you as history

Interview someone in your family (preferably a grandparent or someone older) or someone who is important to you. Ask them a range of questions, asking them about their family history and their personal stories. After your interview, write a 3 page typed (double-spaced 12 point font) paper placing your family story or a particular story in its historical context.  Try to think about what historical forces or social structures that began in the nineteenth century are still impacting the story/stories you have chosen to highlight.
