In this assignment you will provide an imaginative story about a modern-day person's life and career getting wrecked by a powerful institution, as happens to Diego Ximeno in Michener's The Source. You can make up a story or tell one that actually happened. The only requirements are:

1. Demonstrate that you have read the Michener section of the Course Reader. You may do this by duplicating Michener's plot movement, by using stylistic cues from Michener, by including official documents in your text (as he does), etc.
2. Include in your narrative some discussion of the social climate, as Michener does (i.e., he doesn't take you straight to the torture chamber--he sets the stage first by telling you what life was like for those people in that time)

500 words minimum.
