Pre AP 10th Grade ELA Final Project Ideas

Here are some options for your final essay:

- Is there a city from Invisible Cities that resembles A Heart of Darkness? Describe them in a close analysus.

- Read William Gass's essay "Invisible Cities." Discount Gass's thesis.

- Compare Waking Life to Invisible Cities.

- How does Invisible Cities embody everything we've read this semester? Prove with three cities.

I am open to other paper ideas as well.
