Topic Brainstorm
Week 8
Project Work
My first topic could be about the author William Blake's work and pulling themes and meaning from his poems to compare and contrast with the poems of author Walt Whitman. Both have literature that takes time to understand the true meaning but at the same time they used this type of inscription to talk to readers who took the time to dive into their work more profoundly. I would use the first topic choice of course to compare and contrast the elements of two different text. Looking at the poems "The Little Black Boy" Or "The Lamb" from William Blake and "O, Captain! My Captain!" from Walt Whitman.
My second topic I could use the text I could use for my project is the "Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, An American Slave" and using the text to take on the topic of how does this story teach us about a time or place differently than a history book. This narrative would be perfect for a topic like this especially since Fredrick Douglass was such an interesting story to read even as a younger child so writing about what his story teaches us would extremely enjoyable. Especially since in the history books they lie because white english people most likely wrote our history to make them look like hero's and not monsters but this narrative is history I actually can believe in.
For a final topic I could use the text from the author Percy Bysshe Shelly and how he used his poetry to paint a picture as it does on his "Ode to the West" poem. This poem was laced with imagery and I could just use this poem and compare and contrast the elements with another story or poem and explain the ways they do this well and the things they do differently in writing.
