Research

I have had a hard time trying to decide which essay to expand on. I have decided to discuss both essays for this blog because of that. The reason I cannot decide is because I am having a very hard time finding research for each of my topics.

 The first idea I had was to expand on my last essay. For this essay I compared "A Monorhyme for the Shower," and "Discretion." If I were to use this essay to expand on my research topic I would compare the different ways that men view women. I believe there are very different ways that men view women. Those ways can be very controversial when comparing them. I can look at how in "Discretion," There is almost a possessive or stalker way that he views the woman he is with versus in "A Monorhyme for the Shower," I believe he views his wife very lovingly in the way he describes her.

 I have not been very successful in finding very much for this topic. The majority of what I have found I would have to order and I wouldn't have time to receive it and include it in my research. The other articles I have found are more geared toward movies and research. I tried to look up "The Hitchcock gaze" on Academic Search Complete but I have not been successful on finding any information. I decided to google "The Hitchcock gaze" I found a lot of information there but I'm not sure if I can use that information. 

The other topic I have contemplated is the ways children use make-believe to escape from mental and physical child abuse. I would be using my first essay "David's Adventures in Wonderland," in this essay I discussed how David used "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to escape the mental and physical abuse caused by his mother. For this topic I would try to prove why children use make-believe to escape mental and physical abuse and what some of the side effects are for children that have this issue.

I have been successful finding some articles on this topic, but I am still leaning towards the other topic only because it is a challenge. I am hoping to find more information on the other topic because I find it very interesting.
