As writers, it\u2019s essential to look for new experiences and different points of view to spark the creation of a piece or to give insight of an existing piece. For me, personally, it would be fascinating to work with a member of a retirement home. To collaborate with someone of a completely different generation who experienced a completely different lifestyle would provide a new way to learn history. How was life during World War II, or the Cold War, or Vietnam? Or even to hear about reactions toward the colored TV or the transition from records to 8 tracks to cassettes to CD\u2019s. It would create such a personal perspective rather than relying on history textbooks.<\/p>\n<p>So to members of the audience, what was it that stood out during the reading? What inspired you?<\/p>\n<p>To students in English 409, what were the best moments of the class?
