Response to Shannon and Priya (Zane Mandell)

Shannon:
I think that the first topic that you approached was by far the best one that you had. The way you were able to quickly relate the journey idea to that of John and Sylvia and the idea of technology will open up plenty of doors to talk about a lot of material from the novel. The analogies idea you have doesn’t seem to be supported well enough; that is why I think it the weakest of your four themes. I also think that the second and third themes that you approached are very similar in nature and would end up overlapping with each other. I personally think that the journey and destination idea is the one you should pursue.

Priya:
I believe the topic of technology is the best of the four that you have presented as it will allow the largest scope of any of the other topics. I feel like the ‘Chris is a foil topic’ would serve as a support for something of large scope. While your third topic does tend to approach the same ideas as Shannon’s first topic I believe that the development you currently have is far to cliché for the term paper. Your fourth topic is intriguing in where the paper may go because I am not very sure based on what you have where it could go. I honestly don’t think any of the topics that you are weak, rather I see that some may make better supports for others. But after thinking everything through I feel like your best topic may be the one that discusses technology.
