Yikes. Anyways... another assignment for english class. >___<"

So yep. We have write an essay, on a topic of our choosing. I chose Orson Scott Card. I'm going to be using OSC's Ender's Game, Hart's Hope, and Wyrms.
In terms of topics, I'm considering the following:

"A Thematic Study of the works of Orson Scott Card"
(Mostly on the themes of "sacrifice" and the "moral dilemma".)

OR

"Study of the Villain in works of Orson Scott Card"
(A study on what makes the villain a villain. Basically, difference between good and evil, and things are never completely good or completely evil, and sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.)

So what I'm looking for right now is...

Does anyone have recommendations on book/websites resources? And any suggestions on topic amendments?

I'd say go with your first essay idea. 'Cus it seems better. And then I don't really have any other things to recommend. I just thought maybe you'd like a reply to this.

Good luck.

Yea, I agree with the first one. It's almost like the second one wouldn't need OSC at all. So, if you are going with OSC, then go with the first.
