Many people see history as boring, dull and unimportant, a series of dusty books, not relevant to our current way of life. But history is made by ordinary people, like us, whose actions have resulted in the leader of that time being hailed as great, Julius Caeser William the Conqueror, Elizabeth I. Those individuals alone did not form history, it was the part played by our ancestors that made them great. Indeed, it may well have taken a wordsmith like Churchill to galvanise a defiant spirit within the British people, but, without the physical and psychological efforts of those same people, none of those hopes and dreams which Churchill so bravely spoke of would ever have come about or seen the light of day. Without the active participation of those ordinary people, the dream would never have become reality, and the historical person from history might never have been so great and it is those people I want to speak on behalf of to bring history to life, to show how our life, which we may take for granted, has been formed in today’s modern world
In order to do this, I want you to step back in time, as if you were talking to your fellow man, hearing their accounts of a key point in history, a crossroads in time that has brought us to our current age, our language, our culture of today. The names and characters may be fictitious, but what they talk about is not. They are talking about things which to them would be fresh in their minds, important things, events which would have affected their lives. They speak in the hope that they, and the things they lived through, will never be forgotten.
