Themes for Paper 2

I wasn’t sure which of these would be useful or appropriate for this assignment, so I have listed four to help increase the chance of something that fits the criteria.


1. Country Leaders
I could discuss Bush’s decisions during his term, the effects, and voice my opinions on his actions. I could interview just about anyone, but I would probably interview someone who is pro-Bush, someone not in favor of Bush, and someone neutral on the situation.

2. Gas Prices
I could discuss the rise and fall of gas prices, why they take place, where they may head in the upcoming months or years, and the effects they have on America. I could interview several people that drive and have opposing opinions or thoughts about the gas prices.

3. Personal issues / Stress
I could discuss my current struggles with school, work, and my home life. I could also cover my future goals and the stress I withstand to get to where I want to be in life. I could interview my mother (I do not live with her and she could provide her input from an outsider’s point of view), my father (I live with him, and he sees what goes on for the little time I am at home. He is also the one pushing me to do well), and one of my friends (My friends hear all, and know more about what’s going on than anyone else).

4. Effects of the Media
I am not really sure how to relate this to BB, but this is a broad theme. I could cover the issues that could be caused by the media, such as drug and alcohol use, school shootings, and eating disorders. I could interview both a boy and girl of a younger age, as well as a man and woman of an older age group for their opinions, thoughts, concerns, etc.
