Reading/Listening:
Hamilton Disc 2, tracks 13-23 ("Hurricane" - "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story")
Study Questions:
1. Let us return to the question of storytelling, narratives, and legacies. What does Hamilton want the title character's legacy to be? Why is this story important at the particular moment of its creation (2015)? Why might it be important now, two years later?
2. On 8.2, we will be having our midterm. The exam will consist of short answer questions as well as a longer essay question on Hamilton. As part of your preparation for the midterm, I would like you to develop three short answer questions, one for each unit that we've done so far: Portable Enlightenment Reader, A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution, and Hamilton. I would also like you to develop an essay question about Hamilton that frames the play in light of our earlier two units. I may select questions from those that you develop.
