1st Quarter:

Read: Burr, by Gore Vidal.

Include the following information:

  1. Summary
  2. Description of at least 3 historic figures and how they compared to the real people.
  3. Rate Aaron Burr, based on this interpretation. Was he basically good? Selfish? High minded or 'out for number one'? Explain.
  4. How does Thomas Jefferson come off in this book and why?
  5. An assessment of the historical quality of the book: historiography. Or: How did Gore Vidal "do" his history? See examples of this on the linked page.
