Fragment #2: Notes on Historical Writing


Think of questions
Thematic
Historical event/character/personal experience

Point of view: what? Who?

Human understanding, pity
Something that’s been bothering you
Why would someone do something?

Maybe start with an image

Background you must do
Go beyond
STARTING POINT
Look for something unusual

Factual
Emotional
Psychological
