Of course, don’t limit yourself to these topics but make a claim that can be argued. Ask yourself, ” What do you want the reader to believe?” and consider picking a topic you are more passionate about. For example, consider using this Neil Gaiman article as inspiration for your thesis state and/or for one of your sources:
    Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming.Links to an external site.
    This paper should be a minimum of 3 double-spaced pages (12-point font). You will find four sources to support your essay all of which should support your topic in some way.
