I agree with Rob Hanlon - a famous Scot like Sir William Wallace or King Robert The Bruce would be fab!
Think it would have to be Charles Dickens accompanied by the muppets. Dickens could narrate A Christmas Carol whilst the muppets acted it out.
Oh easy, Samuel Clemens (aka: Mark Twain). We'd have such a great conversation and laugh a lot at all the human tomfoolery.
Sir William Wallace aka 'Braveheart'. Because he is, unquestionably, the greatest Scotsman to have lived,and died, for his Country. I would ask him to tell me, in his own words, what really took place in his fight for Scotland to be free.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
