Does anyone have any good ideas for a research paper on Waiting for Godot and Endgame by Samuel Beckett?

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I thought you might enjoy this link for a good laugh.(especially after reading Endgame)\n\nhttp://www.theonion.com/content/index

Try www.angelfire.com/me2/camelot/page4.html\n\nIt looks pretty good.  Also, you might want to try sparksnotes and sites similar.

Maybe collect some photos or other artwork (digital images of course) that go with the imagery in the poem, timed to an audio track of you or someone else reading selected passages. \n\nIf you also have to give background info, images of Whitman, the first edition of the book, etc. might be useful with bullet points outlining key themes, dates, facts, quotes, interpretations, or whatever you feel is most important.

Given the length and depth of the Odyssey I would recommend going to your local library and borrowing a copy- and if its a description you are after you could look for a version aimed at students as these would most likely give extra detail, insight and analysis.

Just try Googling "gambling sports" and maybe the words "discussion debate morality ethic" and see what comes up.  It's a common enough topic of discussion.  Try your local librarian, too - they are really very good at what they do, they want to help you more than I do, and it's free!

Yes, research a great mathematician and write a report.  What's the question?\n\nPerhaps you are looking for some mathematician suggestions?  How about Archimedes, Euler, Newton, Descartes, Pythagoras, or Liebnitz?   I'm sure others have some suggestions as well.

Try "The Gift : ESP, the extraordinary experiences of ordinary people" by Sally Rhine Feather.  \n\nFor more information see the website of the Rhine Research Center: http://www.rhine.org/.

An examination of the main character, Meursault, in "The Stranger" by Albert Camus would be excellent.  The book is a quick read, only about 120 pages or so.   One theme of the book deals with people's perceptions and the idea that just because people think something to be true does not make it true.  \n\nMany people judge the guilt of the main character based on certain observations of his behaviour, but none that should factor into his culpability regarding a certain act he commits.    \n\n(If you choose this topic, buy the Cliff Notes to read after you have read the book.  Quite fascinating.)

Also try pinkmonkey and spark notes.  Often if you just do a search for each specific title you will find a great deal of information.\n\nGood luck with it.

You're right -- pick something classic and short.  How about Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" or Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray" or Crane's "Red Badge of Courage" or a play like "School for Scandal" or "The Critic" (both by Richard Brindsley Sheridan)?

Well, the Westing Game revolves around a few topics:\n\n+ chess\n+ puzzles/riddles/mystery\n+ American patriotism\n+ the stock market\n+ hoaxes\n+ psychology\n+ heirs/inheritances\n\nChess, or the stock market, would probably be easiest. However, I think that hoaxes would make an interesting paper. You can look up famous instances in history when people have fooled others and draw connections to The Westing Game in the techniques used - for example, faking a death, hiring people to play along, using puzzles, etc. \n\nFor example, here's a hoax called "The Turk" which has two connections to the Westing Game - chess, and using illusions:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Turk\n\nOr you could narrow the topic and just discuss famous people who have faked their deaths, and why they did it.\n\nAs you can see, however, there's plenty of material you could work from. Keep us updated!\n\nBest of luck & happy writing!

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!

I know that this is not what you were looking for but maybe it could help you with your essay?\nhttp://www.finchpark.com/arts/poems/poems.htm

Try the short stories of Brecht or post DDR lit like Brussig. Benn is a poet. Choose prose and it will be easier to research. Find an anthology and choose an author. Or choose a topic and find authors who deal with the topic. Love, for example, crime. You also might see if film can be brought in.

I did a paper on the History of 0,1, and infinity for a grad school paper.  It worked out really well.  There is a lot of history of how different societies developed mathematics and accepted fractions, algebra.  Good luck!

You should do your own homework, especially if it is an essay, but I will give you a few ideas. I did this book last year. \n\nsymbolism includes:\nhis hunting red cap-how he only wears it when no one can see him, yet he says he doesn't care what people think of him...represents his uniqueness...\n\nthe ducks at the pond-how they leave in the winter, and do they know where they are going? Holden is unsure of what to do with his future...also shows a childlike curiosity\n\nthe snowball right at the beginning of the story-how he has good intentions but other people aren't trusting or they are cynical...represents purity and that he is trying to save/keep it.\n\nthe carousel-goes around & around but never goess anywhere, relates to him being stuck between child and adult hood\n\nthe museum of natural history\n\nhis brother, allie, & the baseball glove\n\n\nBY THE WAY...seven's answer above is NOT symbols. it is THEMES/MOTIFS, so do not use it unless you want to be marked wrong.
