Midterms...Is it really in two weeks? I need to manage my time better. Okay, topic. My first choice of topic would be to Examine the role of identity in multiple texts. I feel like identity has such an extravagant makeup that it could possibly take (how long is this paper?)...five pages at least. However, I don't think I'm that good of a writer so I would like to pair along with this....wait for it...the development of American/societal values throughout history (and the history of the Literature we've read thus far).
This idea popped into my brain when we were talking about midterm topics in class. I don't know why it did so, but it seemed like a cool idea so I wrote it down. I think that the character's intended or unintended identity has some sort of foundation laid inside of the values of the character or story. So, this topic match-up might be a horrible idea but I'd like to give it a try, if there's hope that it will turn out good.
Thoughts?
That seems like a very cool idea. Any more details? Which texts do you think you'll choice to work with for the essay?
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you develop this a little more. I'm happy to bounce some ideas back and forth.
