Huzzah! Well, the story is going to be about Nathan's impact on people even today. I'm going to have people's personal stories in sections, followed by pieces about my Nathan Hale Hajj this summer, leading up to explaining just who the heck I am talking about. lol
So what I need, and I might start a new thread for this or just have people PM me, is:
Who you are (name, age, location)
How many years you've been a fan
Memories of how you discovered Nathan, as detailed as possible (ex. I was five years old, stretched out on the living room floor practicing my letters in a green alphabet book when I heard my mum and brother reading about him in the history book...)
What his significance/impact in your life is and why you love him
I chose Nathan not just because I like any excuse to write about him, but because I've noticed that while many historical figures have a following, Nathan's seem to be unique, going back even to Seymour.
I can assure you this story is strictly for a class and no personal information will be used outside of the paper. It won't leave the classroom unless there's a demand, and I have y'all's permission of course.
