I have decided to use option 2 for my final project. I choose Aliens as the source for my research. I chose this option because I feel I would find this topic fascinating. Aliens is a topic that has been around for a long time. Aliens, questions our existence, intelligence etc. There are countless of stories, movies, documentaries regarding this subject. So I have yet to decide on what texts I want to use, but there are a few I have looked into. I hope to accomplish a well thought out paper that displays aliens to be a physical metaphor that represents humanity’s fear of our own, the unknown (could be the way we think of other countries who are different). Battling invasion such as war with advance technology such as nuclear weapons. I hope I can find sources that will help display a better view on my thesis.
Here is a link that shares views on many metaphors that can be related to aliens.
Interesting that you chose that topic and brave too. It's not something I personally would have jumped in on, but it seems like you're really interested in it which will make it easier to write about.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have a lot of really good topics to research that will make your paper really entertaining.
