I agree with Gretchen’s post, which basically said what I meant to say in my first post and in this post, but she said it much better than I did.  I think even if JFK isn’t necessarily the most interesting figure in terms of achievements, we could find a lot of points to bring up about the nature of legends and legendary figures, which is the most important for this project.  This week I did some very superficial research on several of the other candidates such as Theodore Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart, but I don’t think they have as many talking points as JFK.  The myths she mentioned would work well for discussion, and I found some strongly conflicting love/hate opinions of him, which would be interesting to bring up in class.  I think he would be a good choice for our project.
