Relating History and English

In my North American History class we are discussing the Mexican Revolution and the topic of independence. This topic could easily help me with my paper on independence. In this instance the definition of independence is changed to reflect the thinking of a country and its best interest. Here again we see the topic of independence taking many forms. In my paper I have chosen to relate the topic to my moving away from home and establishing my true individuality. While I have chosen to focus on this topic this could easily be written about as well in my paper. The connection between my history class and the english class shows how universal education is, and that topics are brought about in nearly every study at universities. I have chosen to include examples from my own life and to focus on the life of college freshman, however if needed I could easily include examples showing how universal the word independent is.
