So as people from my english class know, we have to write an insight paper and i don't exactly know what i would like to write about.. Does anyone maybe have any suggestions of what would be interesting to hear about? I want to have a topic that i can create an argument for and also that i can research a little bit.
I was thinking maybe to talk about why sports brought together the people from Haiti. Like for example, when i went, some workers and boys were kicking the soccer ball back and forth in a circle laughing and smiling. They were showing off their amazing soccer skills. I joined in with them and it was really fun. I could also talk about how the soccer field that they had there had to be used for helocopters to land in, and when doctors stopped using the field to fly in patients, the people were happy and did not need to play soccer on the rocks and uneven surfaces anymore.
Or i could maybe try to get in contact with one specific person from Haiti and talk with them to see if any of the living have improved, but they may be a lot harder to research
let me know if you guys like any of my topics or have any suggestions. Thanks!
I really like the idea of you finding a specific person from Haiti to talk to. Maybe a leader in an organization that helps the survivors?
ReplyDeleteHow about a compromise between the two: what if you tried to learn as much as you could (from blogs and websites) about what's going on in Haiti right now...and if this develops into a way you can get in contact with someone, that would be great. Things are very critical in Haiti right now with the outbreak of cholera and another storm headed their way. Monitoring the situation--and letting us know what's going on--would be worth doing.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. well I don't know if your topic necessarily needs to be an argument because it is an isearch paper but I am not positive..
ReplyDeleteAnyway I think it would be interesting if you looked for one specific person from Haiti who survive because of a miracle. For example, no one thought this person was going to live or no one knew where they were but one day he or she just showed up or started getting better. I don't know how easy that information would be to find but I would totally be interested in reading a story like that! Plus you have some inside sources from Haiti so maybe you could contact them and ask.
