Ideas for Essay 4
I am not sure what I am going to make my essay 4 about yet. My novel was Dolores Claiborne and its not like there aren't a ton of social issues in that novel, I am just not sure which I am going to pick. I thought about going with like alcaholism or spousal abuse but both of those issues seem to common or too easy to pick and while both of them would be easy to write about and easy to find sources, I don't think it would be interesting to read about it. Again. So with that said I am leaning towards writing my essay on the social issues dealing with elderly abuse in nursing homes and elderly abuse with caretakers. I know that also is an overused subject as well but I think it will be more interesting for me to research because I personally do not know alot on the subject myself. While Dolores didn't abuse Vera,( it was more the other way around) it still brought to my mind that particular issue, so that I believe, is what I will be writing my essay on. I might throw in a couple more issues also.

Elder abuse is a widely written about topic so ou should have plenty of research available to you. I know what you mean, I was having a hard time finding a topic, I wanted to do somethig a little more out of the mainstream. A possible way of doing your paper would be to include a contrast between institutional elder abuse and personal and perhaps look into neglect as abuse too. Good luck.
