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

    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!

My Interests

By Anonymous
I'm really interested in mental health stigma and the ways mental health is trivialized and minimized by pop culture. I specifically want to talk about the OCD subset of anxiety. I'm thinking of using Turtles All the Way Down by John Green and comparing it to the TV show "Monk," but I'd love to have other options because these are basically just the only things I've found that even mention OCD.

Stuff I´m Interested In

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.

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.
