Essay 4 Ideas

I am not quite sure yet on what I want to write about for essay four. I think with the novel that I read, it is going to be hard to find a social issue to write about. I do have some ideas in mind that could potentially be a topic for me to talk about, but I’m not sure if they are really relevant to the novel I read. Two of the social issues that were discovered in the book are everyone’s need to fit in and the greatest one of all, cell phone usage. Out of these two issues, the one that I think I am most likely going to write about is cell phone usage. I was doing some research on this topic and actually found out that this is a pretty big social issue. Cell phones were the main topic of the novel Cell obviously, so I think this would be a great topic to talk about since it relates so much to the book. So many people spend so much time on their cell phones daily that it just can’t be healthy for you. One way cell phone usage can have a long lasting effect on your body is through over exposure to radio waves for a long duration of time which in return can only heat up the body tissues. Another way cell phones affect our health is by talking on the phone or texting while driving. So many people are killed each year by car accident related deaths. I’m sure you hear all the time on the news that someone was texting while driving and wasn’t paying attention and ended up killing someone or even themselves. This is a sad, but very true fact. I am hoping this essay topic will turn out to be a good choice, but let me know what you think!

I agree, cell phone issues would be a great topic for this essay. There are several sub-topics there for you to choose from, and it applies to a vast majority of the world's population. This is a good choice! The essay will be an interesting read for just about anyone who owns a cell phone.
