What do you want it to be about? For your final paper, you get to chose your own topic, rather than having one forced on you. What two stories stand out in your memory? Which ones linger? What do these stories share (character, setting, theme, etc?). Rather than trying to pick a topic, pick your stories. Figure out why you picked those, what question/concern draws you to them, and you’ve got your topic.
