Well, since I must brainstorm and since I am pretty sure what I want to write about, I will brainstorm with a topic already in mind, the history of lying. Here it goes:
Abel and Cain
Commission
Omission
Convenience
Adultery
Dave Barry
Taking advantage
Legal
Ethical
Fantasy
Reality
Fear
Disrespect
Respect
Wanting respect
Cheating
Cover up
Hiding
Satan
Believing a lie
Betrayal
Covet
I think I have enough to do a fairly interesting paper, so there is my requisite brainstorming.
Might work--try the worksheet. Problem with a topic like this is that to make the personal connection to turn research into isearch puts the writer in a situation where the writing very quickly can get personal and embarrassing. If the writer tries to avoid that, then the topic becomes generic research.
ReplyDeleteSo, that's something to think about.
