Nevermind...
So, I've decided to change my paper topic. I was having a lot of difficulty in researching for my other ideas, so I'm writing a compare/contrast paper on the roles of women in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (short story) and the film adaptation. The women, through their absence or presence, seem to have a profound impact on how Benjamin is raised and how he ends up living his life. I feel that the more loving, present women in the film helped him to have a more fulfilling life than the absent, objectified women in the short story.

That sounds like a really interesting topic. Somehow women seem to get the short end of most stories we read for this class. If they actually have a role, it is filled with a degrading message. I was really suprised how, in the book, Benjamin's mom did not have a role. I would think the mother would play a large part in raising her son, but that was completely left out.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the paper!
