How would I compare and Contrast P.T. BArnums Tom Thumb and Jenny Lind?
Both were people who became famous by being defined by physical attributes. “Tom Thumb” for his size and Jenny Lind for her extraordinary voice. Although many people assume that “General Tom Thumb” (Charles Stratton) was only exhibited as a freak, he was an intelligent man whose conversation interested those who knew him. Miss Lind was a renowned soprano whose fame reached beyond those who usually attended the performances of classical singers. She was a “star” in the modern sense of the word.
