First I hope y'all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I saw that some of others are also having trouble with this but I am going to post it anyway. I am having trouble coming up with a paper topic. I would like to write on the Cherie Priest novels but I am just not show on what to write about. If any of y'all have any spare ideas please let me know.

... yeah i have absolutely nothing. i've been trying to think about different topics, but it's hard for me to concentrate everything we've learned into one idea. i feel like in class i always had so much to discuss, but there's no one topic that drew me enough to write about. i thought about maybe comparing and contrasting female characters in the cherie priest novels (or sci-fi in general) with female characters in other genres.
ReplyDeleteWell we've had two "punks" so far, steam-punk (Priest books) and cyber-punk (The Night Train). Maybe you could find a way to delve into what being steam-punk/cyber-punk has done to human kind in regards to all aspects of their lives, while comparing them to each other or to our Earth. I would definitely be interested in indications of moral degradation/alteration.
ReplyDeleteWhile Cyber-punk has definitely been characterized as "high tech and low life", I think the steam-punk-esque society in Priest's novels would be, in this regard, much more open to your interpretation.
Thanks a lot man, I will definitely consider that for my paper, unless you are already going to write about it of course. Thanks again.
