Laerning upon my Thesis
For my Senior Project research paper, i am writing about date rape and why it occurs more ofter now. Before, my topic was really broad. Now I am writing about why date rape happens due to the way society views women, women's morals, and women's loss of self-respect. Through my research, I have learned lots of new statistics. 1 in every 4 girls are raped or sexual assaulted, and 84% of these girls knew their rapist. I have learned that rape is more common now than ever. Did you know that when a teenage boy looks at a movie with a rape scene (one example is the last house on the left) it makes him feel as if that is 'in the norm'. Also, the phrases "I'll rape you" are tossed around frequently at hignschools and middle schools as a joke! I am learning so much about my topic ,and it is really interesting to learn about. Next week, I will be interviewing Trey Gowdy. I'll keep you posted!

I think the interview with Trey Gowdy sounds fascinating! I would suggest that you spend some time thinking about what you want to learn from him and then create questions that will give you the answers you need. It will also make you much less nervous if you have a clear goal in mind. Great idea!!
