On the way to the Orchard House, we stopped at SLEEPY HOLLOW CEMETERY and visited AUTHOR'S RIDGE. Here, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau are all buried. It was really amazing to see all these influential figures in one place. Nathaniel Hawthorne's headstone looked SO appropo with old red roses laid out across its base.
I am a high school English teacher in NYC and during the summer of 2008, I took an extensive cross country road trip to visit literary sites. Now, in the summer of 2013, I will explore Vietnam and study the effects of the Vietnam War from both an American and Vietnamese perspective. I will use this exploration to create an interdisciplinary unit on the Vietnam War, using Tim O'Brien's wonderful work "The Things They Carried." Thanks for visiting.
