Objective:

to summarize what you've learned about what is distinctive about the New England Region by analyzing two persons who have been shaped by the New England Region, and, in turn, have helped to shape its character.
 

Directions:

Choose two characters, one from the book, In the Memory House, and one from the list provided at the website, whom in your opinion illuminate the special character of New England as you've come to understand it through the readings and discussions this semester. Identify and explain the characteristics in their stories which seem to relate most closely to the character of the Region. The best answers will weave ideas from our previous texts into the discussion.
