Our dependence upon technology and the fear it fosters as technology becomes a more prevalent entity in our everyday life is the critique of contemporary culture--for example, the strange chemicals in the school that kill a worker cleaning up the asbestos or the conversation between Jack and Babette in the bedroom that is constantly interrupted by a blaring television set. I hope this helps you get another perspective on the novel. Good luck.

Google it.\nDon't ask us to do your basic research.\nAnd ditto that if you're writing an essay, you should know this. If you have a text book, read it.

I'm also writing a thesis,but in Theories of New Media, and I'm very much involved in Theories of Perception. Anyway, I use a number of books about psychoanalytical theory. In my opinion, Lacan and Deleuze opened some very interesting problems, how modern society pushes a persons' mind into schizophrenia/schizophrenic thinking and acting. The another interesting problem is, how computer-era influences person's mind. \nHope I helped :) Good luck!

I once wrote a compare and contrast essay on romaine lettuce and iceberg lettuce. It was actually quite interesting, and I hardly had to do any research! \nOther topics: apples vs. tomatoes, written book vs. audio book, laptop vs. computer, US vs. Iraq, pen vs pencil...just look around the room, pick any two objects, and write about them!

The first thing you need to know is just what the teacher is asking for. If it is completely open, you have great choices. What about a character comparison between the main character and his protagonist. What about an indepth look at differnt themes with pertinent references to current world issues. It is a sci-fi book, look at what social aspects Bradbury predicted and what has actually become real. Otherwise you could compare Bradbury's writing style with one of his contemporaries.\ngood luck

1) importance of studying morals and ethics- helps you understand human behavior. Each culture has their own set of morals and ethics. In ancient times (think Old Testament), it was within a man's right to do as he pleased with members of his household... Today, not so much.\n\n2) Don't know much about postmodernism, so I'm not much help there...\n\nGood luck on your paper!!

A lot of people might tell you to sign up for creative writing courses, but as far as developing skills and techniques that will directly benefit you in other classes (and later in life), I recommend any classes that deal with "literary criticism" or "expository writing." They basically involve reading a lot and then writing essays on what you've read.  You get to be creative but at the same time there is a structure to this kind of writing that you won't usually get with creative writing classes. Not everyone likes having to write this much, but if you haven't been required to do a lot of writing thus far, you'll definitely feel proud of yourself who you produce a paper like "Symbols of Life & Death in Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis."\n\nAn example from the course catalog at the school I once attended: \n\n"This course presupposes some familiarity with a range of readings, but the core text is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which we will examine through various critical perspectives: psychological, sociological, and historical. We will examine some theories of literature and their critical methods, with frequent imitative exercises and a final paper in which you will be able to demonstrate sophisticated use of one of more of these critical approaches in the discussion of another novel."\n\nLots of "critical" this and that = lots of serious, thoughtful writing.

how about concentrating on stories of the 'little people'.  ordinary, everyday folk who aren't famous or infamous, just folk doing what they know to do.  like a teacher, a baker, a grandmother, a street sweeper?   try to find beauty in the ordinaryness of life and tie it in with a faint reference to new york.  write your paper so that it is up to the reader to decide the 'value' of the life or dynamics of the person / place interface.  i think too many people are obsessed with ideas about ' dark', 'funniest', 'best', 'worst', . . . it is boring and meaningless.

hi there! i once wrote an essay on genre and narrative theory when i did an access course in media studies a few years ago. hope this helps you:\n\nfirst of all, have you watched and analysed the ad? if so make a note of the following: firstly, write what happens in the ad and describe in as much detail as you can what types of characters are there, what they are doing, what is happening in the ad; secondly, incorporate and apply the theories of propp, todorov, levi strauss to the ad that you've chosen, link each theory or idea of theirs to the argument or point you want to make; to help start you off on this, i'd reccomend you draw a mind map or do a brainstorm, draw a line linking each idea to each thought you have, whatever comes in your mind note this down on a piece of paper; thirdly, when you have linked the theory with the argument the next step is to elaborate and stress on the importance and/or relevance/irrelevance of the two and why you decided to make this point.  \n\nlet me give you an example: 'i have decided to use todorov as a basis for my advert, taking into consideration the five stages of his theory which i will utilise and apply equilibrium, disruption, etc'. you then apply the equilibrium and other theories to your ad. \n\nas for levi strauss and binary oppostions, state the oppositional links between two themes or words that are associated with each other in the advert. another example i'd use is an advert for   the renault tv ad featuring jeremy sheffield of holby city: male/female, french/english, masculinity/femininity. you get my dirft. \n\nregarding the conclusion, summarise the main points of the essay, what YOU consider to be of importance and significance in the study of narrative. any views you may have on narrative analysis but make this as brief as you can, as well as suggest further reading on the subject. \n\nhope the course is going well for you so far; i wish you the best of luck with your studies.

Here's a resource. Go check it out. For more, just type "T.S. Eliot 'the Wasteland', mythology" into your search engine and look it up, the old-fashioned way!\n\nDon't forget Five-paragraph construction, especially on a 12-page paper!
