Basically, the only way the professor is going to allow me to write this paper is if it has some concrete connections to what we've been doing in the class. We just finished writing papers about Rudyard Kipling's <I>Kim</I> (a novel about a young Irish boy in India who is eventually raised to become a spy for the English against the Russians, who at the time were trying to push into Afghanistan) looking at it in the context of what was going on in debates about England's colonial rule over India.<BR/><BR/>So, in order to make this paper work I need to get enough of a concrete historical background to be able to tell the professor "See! See! I did what I was supposed to!"Mick Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320185841491084888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-1143291186778300332006-03-25T07:53:00.000-05:002006-03-25T07:53:00.000-05:00Men Of Tomorrow by Gerard Jones is very good for t...Men Of Tomorrow by Gerard Jones is very good for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18827721.post-1143287330816658902006-03-25T06:48:00.000-05:002006-03-25T06:48:00.000-05:00I haven't read it, but I hear The Complete History...I haven't read it, but I hear <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0811829138/103-6574215-1140656?v=glance&n=283155" REL="nofollow">The Complete History of Wonder Woman</A> has a pretty good background of her social worth.<BR/><BR/>Wish I could be more help. I usually just rely on my own inferences and specific issue instances for this sort of insight. It'sd not hard to find a feminist movement parallel in 1964's Green Lantern #30 (Volume 5 of the archives) for example, or any of the 1970s Green Lantern stories.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.com
