If you use my idea, I want a copy of the paper. I'm serious. I won't be suing or anything like that, I would just love to have the knowledge.
I see things on this forum that boggle my mind. Young people, and perhaps some not so young, are turning the English language upside down and shaking it. A paper discussing this "new speak", to steal a phrase, would be fascinating to me. The origin (I know much of it stems from cell phone text messaging), the necessity (cell phone displays are small), how it is and will affect the way we communicate in the future (can't begin to help you here) and maybe a dictionary as an attachment. Feel free to address any other points you might deem appropriate. Part of the paper could even be written in this "code".
Remember, if you decide to do this, I would really love to see it. And, regardless of your choice, good luck on the project.

It depends on what you're studying. If the project can be about any subject of your choice I would choose the Harry Potter series and how it literally revived interest in reading for both children and adults. J.K. Rowling went from welfare to wealth using only the written word in a world where kids were basically only interested in anything electronic. Interesting woman.

The easiest thing is a paper on the development of English as a language. It would show that English changed as political circumstances changed - invasions of England, mostly, and the invention of the printing press and the spread of learning in the Renaissance.

Here is an idea. How about writing something about the most evil women in history. Some of them were: Lizzie Borden, Audrey Marie Hilley, Valeria Messalina, Agrippina the Younger, TZ'U-HSI, Catherine the Great, Mary Ann Cotton, Marie Noe,Grace Marks, and Karla Homolka. I bet you can find alot of information on the internet.

Try doing an essay comparing/contrasting two novels/poems which deal with similar themes or ideas. You could choose works by writers with opposing or similar viewpoints. You'll need to start with broad contrasts/similarities, then go into more depth with a bit of close textual analysis of pertinent quotations from each. When I did my English A-Level (many many moons ago) I did my individual essay on the different types of heroine in "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights". The possibilities are endless, and you'll probably find something to compare/contrast in most decent novels. Pick two books you enjoy, and have a word with your teacher about their essay title recommendations. Hope this helps. Good luck!
