Today we discussed several essay topics that are all potential game for our first paper. The topic that stuck with me the most and will probably be my topic for my first paper is comparing the movie Avatar by James Cameron to the American Government's treatment of Indians. I think I could write a 3-5 page paper on the subject with plenty of supporting ideas that will wow my professor.
While in our group today we discussed the dime novel California Joe in detail. We discussed how Joe was a "gold guy" yet had no use for money and could care less about it. Also we discussed how Joe survived insurmountable odds against the Indians each time and yet was murdered on his porch by an assassin. Talk about anti-climatic.

You are right anti-climatic... I mean he could have least been in battle... but nope just sitting on his porch and out of nowhere taken out by the hands of some unknown person in the bushes with a rifle... thats anti-climatic
