A topic that I am interested in looking into is survival in the wild with minimal supplies. The books I would like to use are Into The Wild and The Dog Stars.
I think this topic would be really cool for you considering you like being in the outdoors, I think it would come pretty easily to you because of that. Good work Cavo
I think this is a really good idea. You could talk about survivalism and how people react in these situations. It could also be really interesting to talk about the novel "Parable of the Sower" because it says a lot of survivalist nature.
I love your idea to explore survival in the wild, and with both of these texts it would be interesting to consider the impact of isolation and the extent to which companionship is necessary to truly live. Jack London has also written many stories/novels that focus on men alone in the wild. You might want to look at "To Build a Fire," which is a short one that touches on a lot of the themes in both of the novels you mentioned. Jack London may have more secondary criticism. I'm excited to work on this with you!
I was thinking about writing about the portrayal of minorities in novels. I thought it would be interesting to write about The Hate U Give and possibly To Kill a Mockingbird or something like that. I'm not positive yet but I think this is a super important topic.
Something that I think would be a cool topic to focus on would be the role of religion in books and how it effects the world building and motivations of characters. Some texts that I´m thinking of using are American Gods by Neil Gaiman and one of the books from the Song of Ice and Fire book series by George R.R. Marin.
For my thesis I was thinking of exploring the books/movies Forest Gump, Great Gatsby, Slumdog Millionaire or Berlin Boxing Club. I was thinking of using the theme of thriving when the odds are against you. Not sure though, any advice is more than welcome, please help.

ReplyDeleteI like what Ayla said about how people react and change when they are in a state of survival.
