Milton
Description
Hello this is George Bartley, and I was walking through the wax museum when I ran across the figure of John Milton. Naturally I had to stop, and I watched him as he came to life and began speaking.
Mr. Milton, this is indeed an honor! Do you mind if I speak with you tonight?
Certainly not. I would definitely appreciate the company. And and what is your name?
My name is George Bartley, and I was in English and drama major in college–SO THE English major part of me is quite humbled to speak with you.
AH, Mr. Bartley, then I would be most obliged to satisfy you with an account of my life. I grew up with privilege, expectation, and a mind hungry for knowledge. My father, a scrivener, provided tutors, music lessons, and an education that he hoped would prepare me for greatness. You might say that from an early age, I believed that I was destined for fame, or even immortality.
