Lucky Themes

I've been having many ideas jump out at me as a topic for my multigenre project. One idea I was thinking about reminded me of when I was a little kid. Children don't see or understand things the same way as adults. Alice brings this up when she says, "Until that day in the yard with my playmate I thought this was what fathers did" (45). So our project could be about Children's perceptions. Another idea, that Erinn actually came up with, was rape on college campuses. I've heard that Western is one of the schools with the highest percentage of rape victims in the United States. That can't be good but it would be nice to find out. She addresses this by saying, "At a small table near the door was the RSA-Resident Security Assistant" (23). I can't wait to hear what ideas the rest of my group members came up with.

I don't think I really understand your theme about children's perceptions. We would research children's perceptions about what? Rape? However I do think that doing our project about rape on college campuses could be very beneficial. Not only could it be applicable to our lives, being teenage girls on a college campus, but it is also good knowledge to have and share.
