Paper Plan

I am really excited to begin this paper, I just don't know what I'm going to do it on yet!!! I would like to get a broad overview of all of the books we are being asked to look at before I begin, and then pick the one that strikes me or I connect with the most so I have a really thoughtfully done paper. I love that we are being given such creative license on this project, I've never been given that kind of freedom in an english class, and it really excites me!! This class has been very much a creative writing class but also focuses on the structure and deep thinking of how writing works too. I love the contrast. I can't wait to begin my paper, but before I give a real plan, I would like to do some more research first!!

Since I am very interested in true stories, the idea of doing something on Persepolis is being given my attention. Someone who can remember that much of their childhood, and who has gone through so much pain because of events on a political scale--things I didn't even pay attention to as a child, is very interesting to me.

I'm a little confused on how on topic we need to be, whether we just need to analyze the books we've read or come up with our topic and use the book as some type of source.
