The biggest challenge of this assignment thus far has been choosing a topic. I really liked the way the author in Stop Stealing from Strippers, the example opinion piece we read to prepare for this assignment, wrote and wanted to find an article that had lots of claims, like her’s did, that I could analyze but also had interesting subject matter. I was opposed to writing about politics, I have been doing a good bit of that recently and wanted to try something new, and I had already written about fashion just last week, which is what my go-to topic usually is. After searching pretty much all weekend, I found the perfect piece. “Why Do We Teach Girls That It’s Cute to be Scared?” by Caroline Paul, is written with lots of claims that can be analyzed multiple ways, it is clear what her claims are, I love the way she writes and her subject matter, feminism, is something that really is important to me. I feel really good about the topic I have chosen and the way my analysis is going so far.
