Historical Character life Diary

Select one historical character from the list below and write a day-in-the-life diary entry (2 full pages). Your diary should reflect an awareness of the historical circumstances in the life of your figure as well as the perspective and beliefs of that person. You should include clear citations from the readings in the form of footnotes identifying the author and page number. Your diary entries will be graded on your clear understanding of the perspective of your historical figure, your knowledge of the historical circumstances around their life, and a demonstration that you’ve completed the reading.
