Meeting of the Minds Day is just around the corner...
Tomorrow is our "dry run" of our meeting of the minds in preparation for Tuesday, which will be the real deal. Some of the questions to be answered by Corday are a little tougher than others, but I will try to answer them as Corday would even though the limited amount of information there is on her. Corday is one of my favorite people we have learned about this year because when something was going wrong in her country, she did not rely on others to do something about it. She took matters into her own hands and settled it, even though I'm sure she could have settled it in another way. Women then were more "behind the curtain" and would usually not take matters into their own hands, but Corday knew what she needed to do and went through with it. Not only did she stop Marat from giving out lists of names, she also made people realize how inhumane the guillotine actually was, which also eventually led to the end of its usage. Hopefully tomorrow will go well and everyone will do a good job.
