Research Paper Topic

For my research project I have decided to write about J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. I want to focus on how her poor upbringing is reflected in her writing of Harry Potter. For more personal interest I'm going to research the whole Dumbledore thing.

I dont know much about her personal life but i am a big harry potter fan so ill try to help you with your topic. I think if you go with the lense that how her upbringing reflects her writing, you can bring in the economical-class lense and write about how it can make a difference in writing

A source that you might find helpful is "J.K. Rowling: The Real Life Wizard Behind Harry Potter." http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=40&hid=4&sid=62646b8b-42c0-42bf-8b9e-18b3312b620b%40sessionmgr9 it talks about her life

Hey Chris, here are the notes from your e-poster presentation:

~You're focusing on the 3 main characters?
~Is there anything else besides the characters you could find information on?
~You want to talk about chracters, situations and places that reflect J.K. Rowling's life, do you have any situations and places?
~You could have your conclusion be how far she's come, where she's gotten to.
~What are examples of how her life connects? You may focus on only the chracters, rather than characters, situations and places, as you do more research.
~A possible place/situation: She was born in a small house, maybe this is reflected in her characters situations.


Good luck on your paper! It's a great topic!
