Research: a diligent and systematic inquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover or revise facts, theories, applications, etc.
Paper: a substance made from wood pulp, rags, straw, or other fibrous material, usually in thin sheets, used to bear writing or printing, for wrapping things, etc.
This is what my assignment refers to. The only problem I am having is I don't have a fact, theory, application, or an "etc." that I feel inclined to systematically inquire about in a thorough investigation. Creating a substance made from wood pulp, rags, straw, or other fibrous material seems like a more probable occurrence as I'm waiting for a revelatory idea to announce its presence. I suspect if I keep typing the answers will come. Perhaps they will creep up my fingertips and puncture my brain.
How hard can this be? I just need to find something meaningful and jump on the boat and just go for it! There obviously are endless topics and vast resources, I should totally be able to think of ONE thing.

That sounds like a dooozy. That was well written though. Whenever you find your topic you'll do a really good job on the writing part. Have you heard of any cool stories about your family history? Or maybe the most intriguing thing about your current family (maybe a weird tradition and where it came from) just a couple of ideas. Good luck though.

ReplyDeleteThe definitions cracked me up. You'll find a good topic!

ReplyDeleteI think you may have something within nothing. Topic, unstated. Rhetoric, spot on. I think this represents a cross between reality and speculation. Good job, I think you will have interesting things to write about once the concrete mix of your thesis statement solidifies. Remember to be specific and concise with your reasoning.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is difficult for anyone to pick a research topic, because it's nearly impossible to write 8-10 pages about something that you're not passionate about.You will find a topic in no time. Maybe you could research how your ancestors ended up in America? That always seems to be an interesting topic. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSister Steadman suggested that you could look at something that makes your family unique. What does your family do that's different from other families? Any family traditions? Family activities? The relationship between the children and parents? It doesn't have to be anything complicated -- there are lots of simple things that make a family what it is! You can always take a simple thing like family meals together or traditions and research where they originate or why they are important in a family. I hope you can find a topic you are interested in!
ReplyDeleteYou got this in the bag. I think you're already off at a good start, going at it with a good sense of humor. I bet you'll figure it out! Good luck!
