Second Paper Thoughts

Well since the current topic seems to be papers, I'm giving some very surface level thought to what my next one should be about. I think I made a mistake on the last one by going a bit too broad. I really enjoyed "The Surfer" for a few reasons, and I think it may lend itself to a couple of possibilities. The first being the use of epidemics or biological disasters in science fiction, and the other being possibly comparing actions of the aliens within this story to those of another, but then again those are both very broad as well. Any suggestions would be awesome.
