Tentative Topic Proposal: In 100-80 words, propose an area for research based on your topic in
assignment one. Explain what you are you are interested in, give a bit of background information, and state
what you intend to research. See our in class Google Doc for more information on the example below.

For this Assignment, I would like to research the idea of loyalty in a close friendship. I think
that the friendship between Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger and very inspiring
throughout this series. They have been close ever since they met in Hogwarts. Technically, they
met on the Hogwarts Express train on the very first day, but they got closer with each other very
quickly. The fought, studied, and shared significant memories and experiences together. I think
that the kind of friendship that these three have is a rare kind, and long lasting. Though, I have
known my best friends for only five years, we have yet to do half of the things that Harry, Ron,
and Hermione have done. I would like to study their friendship and compare and contrast their
friendship to that of people now-a-days.
Topic Change to Harrys metaphysical progression and journey through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry.
