It's a history class, and my teacher is really into the "personal" side of things. I have a lot of freedom in choosing the topic, so I can tailor the paper to a narrower focus after I talk with someone. I get the feeling that the assignment is more to try to round out the experience of the research we have been doing in class than to get hard factual value. I'm not from the South and I don't really know anyone who is, so I planned on writing about how an actual person's experience compared to what I've learned in class and from my research. I know GC is a longshot, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try.
