Week 10 Project 3

I would have to say for my research paper, I am not 100% sure on what my paper is going to be about. However I do have somewhat of an idea on what to write it about. The movie I choose was Blood Diamond so there are several things going on in this movie on which I could write a research paper. I am having a real hard time narrowing down my idea between something to do with conflict diamonds or the Sierra Leon Civil war, but what I will probably do is just combine it all together. I would say I am pretty interested in this topic because I really do not know a lot about it. According to the movie the war and the diamond issue is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. I really want to find out more about these topics to see how accurate the movie portrays these events.  Also recently the whole Kony thing fits really well with my topic, so this has also made me more interested in the topic. After researching these general topics I have found several sources that could be useful to me. I found this book titled Blood diamond, which talks all about the Sierra Leon war and mining diamonds in Africa. Another few resources I have found are from the library search engine and have found a few online articles and academic journals that could be really useful to me. Overall I would say I had a very difficult time in choosing my topic, because technically I still have not chosen my topic. As I said early there is so many things I could choose to write about with my movie, so narrowing it down to one thing to do a paper on has been a difficult task for me. However I am confident one I talk to the teacher I will be able to decide on my topic. (324)
