Free Post: Research Project

For a duet project, World History and English both require the 9th grade to do a research project. In W.H.,  Coach Coco handed out a sheet of paper for his class to choose a broad topic. I considered the sheet for a few days before truly looking into what topic I was going to choose. I discussed with my mom about it, and she considered it with me. I thought of intolerance through the ages especially hard because I never agreed with intolerance, and thought I should look into something that I had a strong opinion about. After I thought about different intolerances through the ages, one thing that immediately came to my mind was Muslim intolerance. I don't necessarily know why that topic came to mind, but I couldn't get it out of my head, and when I told my mom she seemed interested as well. I thought this topic would be an easy, and amazing one because of it's large importance in this world today and the wide knowledge and sources of information I could use. I actually was excited... Then we actually started the work.
When we began to work on the research, I found out i had to narrow my topic down to a specific statement. So, I am now working on the specific topic 'Muslim Intolerance Post 9/11 in America.' It stills seems intriguing to me, but the sources are limited. Also, my paper is going to have more information on Muslim Intolerance throughout previous years as well as post 9/11 because I have to compare the difference. Now I realize that my topic isn't as exciting as before. Although this is the downside, the upside is that 1/3 of my paper is to be written on how to create mutual understanding with this intolerance, and I have a great idea on the mutual understanding than that of the research. So, although this is a very long rant that you probably don't want to read (if you are even doing so), I appreciate you letting me take this weight off my shoulders! I also hope your topic is less stressful than mine, and i hope you are not experiencing this along with me.
