And you just had your 50th reunion, that's cool! I was in 2nd grade when our teacher announced to the class that President Kennedy had been shot and killed. She had us bow us heads and pray for him and our country. A few years later, I remember hearing screaming girls/women blocks away and was puzzled about all the commotion. A Beatles movie was playing at the theater. My husband, who's four years older than me, remembers having nuclear bomb drills at school. They had to get under their desks. Say what?<br />The '60s were crazy, and the drug scene a travesty. When I was in 7th grade, one of the other girls and her friends were crying and crying all day long. I later found out that her older brother had died from a heroine overdose and someone dumped him in the trunk of his cars. I'm thankful my teen years were in the '70s. Your essay sure triggered a lot of memories.

So much wonderful music. So much innocence and naive hope. Tune in, turn on, drop out. Sadly, it was a kind of social experiment that went off the deep end committed suicide.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23130594.post-61268425569147353362011-06-29T12:16:56.863-05:002011-06-29T12:16:56.863-05:00A bit before my time, but I do love the sixties mu...A bit before my time, but I do love the sixties music.

I was floored when you asked directions to Kuhn Street without realizing what you'd said, and when the soldier said he knew he'd killed the enemy because he cut him in half. It's a good essay, and I only have one critique: there's a lot going on here, which makes sense because it was the 60's, but while I understand that you found it a world gone mad, I still feel that it lacks an emotional thread tying it all together. What did you learn? How did it all make you feel? How did those events affect your life? Not that these questions need to be directly answered, but I'd like to have some greater sense of the answers through you letting us see more of your emotional weather as you reflect. Great material.

However, one or two of the personal memories are just that -- personal memories -- and don't fully carry the weight of your essay. Specifics: the two stories about the crashed/disintegrated planes; they no doubt were shocking to you, but how do they connect with the zeitgeist of the '60s?<br /><br />The same is true of of your experiences with the life insurance company -- where's the connect?<br /><br />Everything else is succinct and evocative -- exactly what a personal essay should be.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577289744870707642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23130594.post-17938100295108989972011-06-28T08:19:18.015-05:002011-06-28T08:19:18.015-05:00Bob, I like the piece, but I could suggest you use...Bob, I like the piece, but I could suggest you use the "circle back" technique to reinforce the emotions.

I lived through the '60s, and those images were vivid. I wonder how those who didn't, however, might see it.

Not everybody made it to Woodstock, for sure. If anything's missing, it's the music, which is so distinctive from that time. You mention the Beatles, but there was so much more.<br /><br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
