RESEARCH PAPER FREE WRITE
Im still unsure of what to write for this research paper, as i looked through my sheet two topics caught my eye. #4 - portraying human minds in film and #5-partraying robots (or human clones) in film. Of course the film i would use for #4 would either be the movie on Temple Grandin or The Notebook. Ive seen the Notebook numerous times and i've enjoyed it a lot. The Temple Grandin movie also interest me ever since i seen the short clips in class.

Well, the point would be to find a film/book you may not already know. (It's a research paper, right?) There are many options to look at. Writing on Temple Grandin would work just fine (using a book or either of the films that we mentioned already in class.) The whole list of films and different mental conditions is available at:

If you click on the different links, you might find some ideas. One note: if you want a doable paper on Temple Grandin, you could do this on Topic #2 on Oliver Sacks using his essay from our course pack (and you would need to find the book An Anthropologist on Mars). That would make an excellent research paper. The kinds of questions you could cover using the Oliver Sacks' book/essay will be slightly different than looking at a film--and more original. Plus we already have read this essay. (There are other essays in the full-length book.)
