Selected topic

The topic that I have chosen for the New Yorker project is love. I chose this topic because out of all the topics that we have been over this year, its the one that I feel like I most understand. For example, the Romeo and Juliet directors notebook was a project where I felt like I knew what I was doing because of the unit. Also, while writing my essay for A Separate Peace, It seemed easier to write versus the ones in the past. The topic of love is relatable and interesting to me.
