Mock+Topic+proposal

Your topic should be specific, literary, analytical, purposeful, and individualized. Make sure your topic includes the idea as well as the titles and authors of the two texts. Compose a paragraph that expands on the idea (approximately 250-300 words). No text is needed. A silly example is below: ** Topic:   ** The Emotional Impact of Peanut Butter in Kelly Flynn’s // My Three Boys // and Oli Rosenbladt’s // Troubles with Lefty // Peanut butter serves as a catalyst for violent emotional outbursts, which ironically result in increased intimacy among family members. At home and in restaurants, peanut butter sandwiches are made or ordered, respectively. In each of these circumstances, an argument or physical altercation quickly ensues. In one particularly disturbing scene in // My Three Boys //, two of the brothers resort to smearing an entire jar of Skippy’s on the living room carpet. A similarly disconcerting episode in // Troubles with Lefty // ends with a dead goldfish. The cause of these skirmishes is revealed to be peanut butter-related factors such as the quantity used, the consistency and appearance of the spreadable condiment, and its placement in association with the accompanying jelly. However, as intense as the fights become, the issues are always resolved thereby having the effect of reconciliation among the involved parties. Both // My Three Boys // and // Troubles with Lefty // conclude in the kitchen, the domestic heart of the house, with somewhat relieved parents keeping a watchful eye. The resulting harmony is further emphasized by the cohesive characteristics of the substance thus suggesting the creaminess and crunchiness of sibling relationships.
