Possession
I haven't really narrowed this topic down, but I was thinking of comparing a few of the possession stories we have read. "The April Witch," was really different from the "The Thing on the Doorstep." I think that this shows that a basic idea can evolve into just about anything depending on where the author chooses to take it. I was also struck by the similarity of the possessions in "The Thing on the Doorstep" and a series of three books I read by Anne Rice, "The Mayfair Witch Chronicles." Those are just my first thoughts on the paper. Hopefully ya'll can help me develop it more during class.

I really like your topic! I think those two stories would be awesome to contrast since "The April Witch" was so light and "The Think on the Doorstep" was definitely creepy. You could discuss the motives of possession also.
