When I heard that I'm supposed to write a research paper called an I-Search essay my first reaction was "Great a ton of research that's going to take up a lot of time..." and so on. This was followed closely by my second thought which was "What am I going to write about?" I had no clue. What kind of topic can I find that won’t be overly difficult to research but yet interesting to me at the same time? I came up with a few ideas.
I am fascinated by history, absolutely fascinated. Not enough to pick up a gigantic history book for light reading but I do enjoy it. I’m one of those people who see a historical movie and then immediately become intrigued and slightly obsessed with whatever it was about. So as I sat thinking about what I could research I immediately thought of all the historical movies I’d seen and The Young Victoria sprang into my mind. I absolutely love this movie and it made me want to know more about Queen Victoria and her relationship with Prince Albert in particular.
Another topic idea I came up with was Italy. I love Italy, always have. If I do end up researching Italy I’ll have to narrow it down to something more specific but it would be a topic that would both interest me and be easier to research.
These are only a few ideas but hopefully I come up with one that I can’t wait to get started on!
