For my third and final major essay, the research paper, I had to write a proposal to write about what I wanted to write about. The umbrella topic was education, and my first thoughts went to how education is broken in the USA. From the concept that you cannot have imagination and grow up, to the leeching of fun out of it, to the idea that the entire high school system is based on trying to get people into an industrial plant, its all broken.
So, I thought and thought about how to write this short little thing, hoping it would end up being okay, and apparently it was. So here it is, the proposal for my research paper:
A Brainless Nod is a blog about love and life, passionately written using articles, poetry, and serial web fiction. We are Dan and Lisa, and we both enjoy writing immensely. We hope you enjoy this look at our passions, our life together, and our opinions. Posts are sporadic due to us entering college, but expect new stuff every now and then!
