713u Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hey guys! I have a new EE subject. I want to compare two non-fiction books, specifically a child called it and perhaps a book (in my language) about a girl and prostitution and then compare the two books. So the comparison will be that Dave Pelzer in the first book did not choose to being used by someone else, but the girl in the second book has a choice, and she chooses to actually let men take advantage of her. I don't have a research question yet, but do you guys think the idea is okay? And if you have any opinions, please let me know! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mv021 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sounds like an interesting idea! I would try to focus in a bit more, though. Instead of comparing generally what is happening, try comparing one literary element, especially since these are not inherently very literary. Here's an example: "To what extent is graphic imagery (or character descriptions, or dialogue) used to illustrate the differing plights (or characterize, or establish a certain mood/tone) of the protagonists in xxx by yyy and aaa by bbb?" Also, double check that nonfiction is okay, because I honestly don't know. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
