deadlyknight Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Honestly, you should pick the one which you can generate a good, strong thesis out of that you can back-up and prove. I had the same problem for my IOP for The Handmaid's Tale except that I couldn't generate a good thesis and prove. The Great Gatsby has a lot of symbolism that you could use to generate a good thesis out of, for example, how the green light represents the "American Dream" or more in-depth analysis of how big a role the "American Dream" plays in The Great Gatsby. I don't really know much about Keats, but I think it might be slightly harder to present your IOP on poetry, however, it doesn't mean it can't be done. Sorry if my feedback wasn't exactly the best, but I hope it helps.All the best on your IOP! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuggies Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 If I were you , I would chose the great gatsby, because I think that it has a lot of symbolysim. I already wrote on essay/ anaylisis on it and found that I had a lot to write about after a while. Like deadly knight said, when you can genertate a good thesis then you should go that one.Good luck Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
