Try starting with one book and finding its major themes, then compare the topics to another book. Find similarities and differences. Once you do that, it becomes quite clear.

I chose to do the motif of isolation in From Sleep Unbound and So Long a Letter and how it contributes to depression for both novels' main characters. Is that fine, or does it need refining?

Hi!

Hopefully I suceed to revive this thread, i'm hoping to get some feedback on a topic idea. I would love to look at the role of women in Like Water for Chocolate and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. At this point it's very broad, but some of the conclusions i'd like to lead to are that in both novels women contribute to the development of the protagonist, then I will be comparing how the women do this, and in that sense I will point out similarities and contrasts.

Please send me feedback!!

Hi! I just need help in focusing my title. Well, for now, we just need to work on a title for our World Lit essay. OH! And we don't call it World Lit here... they say that the IB changed the syllabus again and so we're only doing one work.

So... I'm looking at A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen and I was wondering if I could do this,

The significance of Nora’s transformation to portray the social duties of women as well as the end of male dominance during the 19^th century

Or is this too broad? :/ HELP! I need to focus on Nora's transformation. Because that was my prompt for the supervised writing. So yeah. I will also look at characterization, symbolism and diction.

THANKS!
