How do I choose what to write my paper about?

Choosing a Topic

If you are asked to write a paper about a particular literary work, choose some aspect of the work that interests you to write about. For example, Nathaniel Hawthorne's portrayal of the clergy in The Scarlet Letter. If you may pick your own literary work on which to write, choose one for which you have a strong positive or negetive emotional response. The more involved you are with the subject, the better your paper will be.
