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.

Juxtaposition: John Hathorne's Grave, Salem, MA
Ironically, right outside the Witch Trials Memorial is a graveyard. Guess who is buried there? None other than the Witch Trials judge responsible for so many deaths: John Hathorne! So, they put the innocent next to the guilty and it certainly does add some dramatic value.
