My 3 Potential Topics

1) When I stayed alone at home for 3 three weeks by myself for the first week

I remeber feeling excited through the whole experience.My mother planned on being out of town for a couple of weeks and had to leave my brother and I at home during the duration of ger trip. Before this I felt there was always adult supervision where ever I was, my life felt so sheltered. This was going to be a chance to prove that I was mature enough without having an adult figure over my shoulder.The three weeks went by pretty normal and smoothly and i was a little disappointedent that the three weeks went by so fast. Unfortunately me and my brother forgot to clean the house and my mother promised this was going to be the last time we were going to be left alone.

 Question: What does it mean to be independent?  An academic audience would be students, researchers, and other individuals heavily involved in the humanities or social sciences.  They would be concerned with people or groups of people andd their pursuit and or definiton of  human freedom or independence.This could be studied in a gender context, racial, religious, or cultural, among other spectrums.

2) When I wnet to the movies with my friends for the first time
It was senior year and my friends ( and teachers) were all shocked that I had never been to the movies. The whole thing made me laugh whenever I tried to explain that my family simply could not respect the value of going to the movies. We went to many social outings but they could not specifically understand and appreciate going to the movies.The day I went out with my friends was an even funnier one. Before going to the movies we went to the mall where we talked and joked around.We then went to watch Iron Man 2 and joked around even more.It was a chance to be loud and just laugh. I remeber feeling anxious at first but it was a new and good feeling just being out with your friends.

Question:  What is the value of spending time with others. The audience could be those students or researchers studying the health benefits of human interaction. Another audience would be those students, researchers, or individuals in the social sciences or humanities studying early human interaction and their beneficial effects to humanity and civilization in general. This could range from religious, class, and gender focused interaction

3) When my grandmother taught me how to dance

That day was like any other when I was younger. My grandmother usually babysitted us and whenever she did she would constantly play music from her home country. She may occassionally play  music from Micheal Jackson or Madonna but those were the only pieces of American music she would play, if I remember correctly.As i was watching t.v. she just came up, told me to turn it off and said she was gonna teach me how to dance. I thought it was a pain at first but as this continued on for weeks I began to enjoy it. I even participated in our schools spanish folk dancing club for a while. I began to appreciate music more, as well as dancing.

Question:Can we describe a cause as a series of random( or ordered) events or are there times where there is just a single cause to an effect?
An academic audience interested in this may be those studying patients and their illnesses, those studying historical events and their origins and meanings.Audience could also be  English students analyzing the origins of a dynamic or even static character in a piece of literary work.
