I'm sitting in the hall where all the language profs have offices and there are languages everywhere. People are speaking Arabic, German, French, English, Spanish, Chinese and more. It's so cool! *happy sigh*

That's awesome! I love hearing people speak other languages, even if (especially if) I have no idea what they're saying. Maybe I should wander around the language building...

I think the world might be ending...
I'e never seen such a storm as the one that started yesterday. There's a lot of people without electricity, many buildings had their roofs and windows damaged, the streets are flooded,... Lots of trees fell, and some people died. Our main phone line and wifi aren't working. Things are prettty chaotic right now... :-\

Tough times. Good news is it's probably not the actual end of the world, seeing as how everything is dead-silent here. It would be terribly unfair for you to have all the drama.

Hey guys, I need some suggestions...
I have to write a 10-page research paper at the end of the semester on a comic of my choice, and of course I want to write it on SSSS or aRTD. Buuut I'm really blanking on what kind of topic I'd be able to research and write ten pages about (I've never written 10 pages on anything before). Could anyone throw out some ideas for me? (A possible topic might be something like "The Role of Linguistics in SSSS.") :puppydogeyes:

((Clarification: I won't use any of your ideas because that would be cheating; I just need to get my brain working))

What's the class you're writing it for?

Also, I don't think it would be cheating to use someone's suggestion of a paper topic; after all, you'd be doing the research, coming up with the conclusions, and writing the thing.  We're just helping you brainstorm the "story angle" (as we used to say when I was a newspaper reporter).

You can write about the norse and finnish influences or how international relations change because of the rash.

I don't mind if you use either of these ideas.

Comics crit is the class.
And good to know, I always try to stay on the safe side :P

Thank you! *notes these down*
I... know absolutely nothing about international relations, so that one would be difficult...

It might be easier to go with aRTD, because it's complete. And there's a lot that you could do with it regarding things like the mythology/folklore incorporated into it, Kalevala references, the Gallen-Kallela influences in the visuals, the "hero's journey" type of fairytale and how Hannu isn't exactly a typical hero figure.... Also things like how effective the story structure is or isn't, and how that can vary depending on the audience.
