Chrissytd Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 For my World Lit Paper 1, the only novels I got to choose from are The Metamorphosis, Love in the Time of Cholera, and The Sorrow of War. The two novels I chose to talk about are Love in the Time of Cholera and The Sorrow of War, and how flashbacks are used to develop the stories. Is this a good topic?

Is this a good topic?I think this sounds fine, quite good in fact. It depends a little bit on how much of the novels is taken up by these flashbacks, and I haven't read them so I can't comment. If they are quite predominant in the narrative, your topic might be too broad to be 'answered satisfactorily' within the WL world limit.. but only you can judge.

Daedalus Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yeah. In that case, you might want to look at another aspect. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in turn implies that writing a WL on a topic of this breadth would be very difficult.The thing is your WL is like a passage analysis, except of themes or motifs or some other aspect that has caught your eye. You really have to shed light on it, and it can't be too perfunctory. The trick is to choose the topic right. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
