So, devoted readers, I need your input. The time is coming when I have to make a decision on what to do for my senior project. For those of you who have not had the benefit of hearing me complain about this yet, every History major has to write a forty page paper during their last two quarters at Cal Poly. I am having major problems coming up with/committing to a topic. So...that's where you come in. Here are my ideas so far:
1. The Salem witch trials (and how the role of children in the trials escalated the witch hunt).
2. Joseph Kony and child soldiers in Uganda (pretty much what Invisible Children is dealing with).
4. The Easter Rising in Ireland (the beginning of their independence).
5. The "Troubles" between Northern and Southern Ireland.
Does any of these stand out? Or anyone have any interesting ideas? I know it really comes down to what I am most interested in, but I would love some input anyway. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI like the Uganda thing but you know me and History. We are besties. =)
But the last two sound really cool since you can do research there for those.

ReplyDeleteAs my only consistent commenters, you two deserve gold medals. Or maybe another pack of biscuts.
ReplyDeletehmmm. how about the relationship between propaganda in the Holocaust and the Rwandan Genocide? Oh, wait. That was my brilliant idea. That I did NOT steal from you (ahem steph).
ReplyDeleteyes, caitlin. we believe you [shakes head vigorously behind c's back]. and i will take the biscuits!
ReplyDeleteYou stole the idea about your grandpa if I do recall... but looks like no one is doing that. And I will take another pack of biscuits! haha
