The Final RR
The dreaded research project, I suppose it's time to get down to business then. I think I may have a topic or at least some idea of the area with which I will be able to start, I would like to look at the type of information that was conveyed through literature, the manner through which it done, and how the audience treated said works. Earlier in the year I had somewhat halfheartedly said something similar on one of the discussion boards, though I have only decided on how to elaborate on it this morning. My plan, though I still hesitate to say it has developed that far, is to look mainly at old newspaper headlines, book reviews, and try to follow how cultural feelings changed through the years. I will also try to see what factors contributed to these changes; was it technology that aloud for the spread of ideas leading change, or was it some other form of cultural upheaval which was at most indirectly influenced by tech with an emphasis on something else. I may do some sort of interview, in order to see how individuals felt about events, though most people in the area would only be able to offer the local outlook, where as something such as newspaper headlines could show the interpretations of the same event across the county (perhaps even the world.)However, I as I had said, I am not yet sure that this is what I will finally decide to go with, I may add to this or decide to go with just one aspect of it. It is however, something, and I’m just excited to know that I have an idea even if it’s only an inkling, though it may turn out to be exactly what I do. As a side note, while this is a “reader response” it also is not; by that I mean I have not had any reading material that has helped me to write this (excluding having to click on the Word tab, and I don’t think that I could milk an essay out of just that). So if you actually take the time to read this (congrats if you did, so +1 internets to you) and find yourself wondering where I found a something that was immensely helpful, you are out of luck, as no such book exists.
