ok. i have written 3.5 pages out of 10 minimum but have done no research. i need to change the entire angle of my paper i think so ummmmm not to ask this but can you guys help me brainstorm a new topic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

#the premise of this paper is that we have to write abt a story in our family that we’ve always wanted to know more abt and come up w a broad #thesis on like the general topic using our family story as an example. i wanted to do stuff w my moms side of the family but my dads side of #the family are like genealogy nuts and also my great grandma and my grandpa both wrote autobiographies so i have a lot to work w there. basi #cally the thing i picked to like examine more is why my grandpa grew up w/o his dad in his life and it’s bc his dad cheated on his mom (my g #great grandparents) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 during the Great Depression bc he had to take a job in another state and he lived there during the work week #and then came home to his family on weekends but he was cheating on her lol. not a very fun topic at all and i regret every single decision #ive ever made but ermmmmmm. so the broad historical thing i was gonna examine was how different families had different experiences of the gt #Great Depression based on things like divorce and stff but also race gender class location etc… but that is super broad but also ive done a #lot of very broad research for this paper and it sucks to throw it away but i don’t think i can write something so broad i think it has to b #be narrower. so I’m thinking of looking at like how single parent families navigated the depression but then like what are the factors im #looking at and what’s the context yk… bc you could do an entire paper abt race or class or ability or like city vs suburbs or whatever but #idk which to pick or if that should even be my approach. but i need to know so i can hit the ground running at 10:30 and write 6.5 more #research heavy pages at 10:30 (13.5 hrs left before the deadline) and make myself fucking explode #purrs
