HELP!!! Essay due in 2 days... need topics!

[Narnian_Princess]

I have an argument essay due in 2 days and I don't even have a topic! It has to be "Three Myths about ______", and I have to present the myths and then refute them. The topic has to be specific (such as the Bermuda Triangle or candles), not general (like abortion).

How about views on hunting.....to hunt or not to hunt........I am sure there are alot of posts on that right here on the cb.....I am a huntress...and I love to go hunting and get a deer or a moose, if I have a permit......we eat our meat ....but in Maine it is also a way of preserving the herd.....alot of the smaller deer will die in a bad Maine winter........moose are decreased by a hunt if there are alot of accidents involving moose and usually people die if they are hit.....just a thought

I'd ask what are you interested in and go from there. I think you could find anything that has myths attached. I googled 3 myths about and came up with lots of web sites, that might be a starting point.


If it were me I'd do it on quilting, 1) people think it hard to do 2) people think it has to be perfect and 3) people think wal-mart fabric is just what you'd buy at a fabric store.

Well why don't you do it on Walt Disney? I know there are a bunch of myths about both the man and the theme parks.

I LOVE this idea and it's timely. So many myths to choose from with regard to Christmas.

Good ideas, all! I was actually thinking of doing it on Christmas, but the only myth I can think of off the top of my head is that Coca-Cola was the first to make our modern version of Santa Clause. (I can also think of the myths that the Mythbusters will do on their Holiday Special tonight... but that's just a bit unoriginal.)

I'm currently researching Disney myths, but I already did an essay on Disney... think the professor will notice?

organ donation

myth: ems will not do everything possible to save you if they want your organs

myth: expensive for donors family

myth: against religion (a myth in most cases)

With regard to Christmas...look into the season when Jesus was really born or how the holiday originated. That will proably lead you down a few other paths as well.
