400-600 words; use your own words; provide pointers to where you got any information that is not your direct personal experience or "common knowledge"; due Friday September 4 at 5 PM.
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself--well...how did I get here?
How did you get here?
Think back to where your ancestors were and what they were doing in 1870, and (briefly) recount the historical, familial, and personal processes that have led you to be:
- in greater San Francisco
- attending college
- at U.C. Berkeley
- and taking a course on the economic history of the twentieth century
Submissions of less than 400 words will receive grouchy readings. Submissions of more than 600 words will receive grouchy readings. There is a symmetry here.
