3 Topics for Paper

1.       First sleep over – The first sleep over that I ever had was when I was in sixth grade. Now although most of you would think that having a first sleep over at the age of 12 is late, you don’t know my parents. My parents, from the moment I could walk, were always very protective of me and limited the things that I could do for that reason. But for some odd reason, they let me go to a sleep over one night and that made me so happy. One question that could be asked is so what? What made this night so special for me that made it a memorable experience? One academic audience that                would be interested in this piece could be young adults that were also deprived of such activities as children.
2.       First roller coaster ride – My first roller coaster ride ever was actually just about a year ago during a field trip for AP Language. My teacher always took all of her students to Hershey Park for a day as a treat for being able to withstand the class for an entire semester. I remember clearly how everyone was pushing me to get on the first, wooden roller coaster that had no flips or barrel rolls and yet I was afraid to death. But after I rode one, I just couldn’t; stop. I ended up riding ever single roller coaster there at least 3 times considering there was no wait. A question that could be asked from this is why was this important to me? What difference did it make that I was now able to ride roller coasters compared to before the trip? An academic audience suitable for this piece would be individuals afraid of thrills and people who feel as if they need control of everything to be safe.
3.       Angry bees – I remember one time when I was about 7 and living in Pittsburgh. Outside of my door, there was a bush and for some reason there was a bee’s nest in it. So every summer, there would always be bees flying around, and my family would have to maneuver around them to get inside. But one time, me and some friends were being dumb and decided to piss the bees off my throwing things into the bush. Little did we know that bees had stingers and we soon found out a couple of times in a short amount of time. The only other thing I remember from that was not to ever mess with animals that could hurt you. One question that ca be asked is why I did what I did with my friends? And what resulted after my actions? AN academic audience for this topic could be animal advocates who would agree not to mess with animals, especially bees.

  1. Here's an article about sleepovers I read the other day on NYTimes.com. It may be helpful if you decide to move in that direction:
