So in class today I thought that working in groups was very helpful when it came to picking my topic for my Commonplace paper. I had some really good ideas about different things about greed, others about ideas or things from the episode that I’m writing my Analytical Research Paper or just other ideas bouncing off of the episode. After talking with Grace, while in the groups of two, I narrowed what I want to write my paper on down to two of my ideas. I either want to write a story about being put into other people’s shoes or a satire the importance of money in today’s society. I think it would be interesting to write about being put into other people’s shoes. I’ve always wondered, myself, what it would be like to walk a day in someone else’s shoes. I think it would be neat to “be” someone else for a day and discover what they do because everyone’s life is unique and different. I also think it would be neat to do a satire on the importance of money in today’s society. I was co-editor of my yearbook for two years in high school so I had to write all different kinds of writings for the yearbook. A satire on the importance of money would be neat because I was thinking about poking fun at Hollywood, Bel Air, New York City, 90210, etc. I was thinking about writing about plastic surgery and what people “buy” in order to make themselves look “good”.
