October 17

MONDAY: First ENTRY due on Monday. WHO is my person? What is his/her personality like?
Where was he born? Where did he go to school? Who may have influenced his/her career? How do people treat him/her? How does he/she treat people?

Sample: Betty Janson (Maid of J.P. Morgan)

March 1892, New York
I quickly dusted Mr. Morgan’s bookshelf. He will be home soon and will not be happy that his grand home is in such a disarray. My boss, Mr. John Pierpont Morgan grew up in a very affluent part of Connecticut. Raised in the best boarding schools in America and in Europe, he is used to rigor and order. We, his servants, must comply to his structured way of life. Even the smallest speck of dust would send everything into an uproar.
You could say that his father’s strong influence on his education led to his success. Learning French wasn’t enough; he also had to learn German! Yes, Mr. Morgan was pretty much groomed for this type of life...

CONTINUE TO BRING IN RESEARCH. WE WILL WORK ON PEER REVISION TOMORROW
