The good bad boy is portrayed in almost every teenage movie. There is this boy with the worst reputation, but ends up becoming the hero or the "good" guy in the end. I think this is a sort of tell all about how women like the idea of the bad boy. They like that he is unpredictable and just wants to have fun and do crazy things. However, they like the idea of taming the bad boy too. Having this guy be so in love with the character that he turns into the good guy and saves the day. This can be seen in many books in america. The Twilight books contain this theme along with many others.
Sports and the adolescent society have always played an important role in books. Sports create a macho man who is either the center of attention that every girl craves. They also play a sub role of being the guy who is inappropriate with the women around him. He is full of himself and uses that to his advantage with the women. This can be seen in speak where the God of the school who is an athlete raped the main character.
Sports also portray role models in books. They are the people that the athletes look up to and want to be like. They work hard everyday in their sport just to succeed and the sport becomes their main focus and some books deal with the success or failure of the athlete.
These are my ideas for my paper!
I think you have chosen two really great topics. Even though you do not know which topic you would like to pursue in your paper, you have come up with some good ideas that you can start focusing on. In choosing between the two you need to think about which one you can more relate to, so that when you are writing your paper it is easier for you to write about and discuss about. I think that once you have narrowed things down between the two I believe you will be able to write a great and strong essay. Just remember to try and focus on something that you know you will be able to relate to.
