Paper # 2 thoughts

So I was just reading alot of other people's blog postings on their papers. I actually wrote (started to write) a paper, but then after the last class on Tuesday, I realized I really did not like the topic. It was not something that interested me in the least, so I decided to make a "fresh start". I have nother class this semester that is sort of connectyed to the material we talk about and read in Advanced Comp. (The class is called culture and Media with professor Schwartz... just in case you were wondering). Anyway, we were in that class and we started to talk about slang. He was asking all of us different words we use for slang and what they mean. Then he went into the origins of the words. Why did they take on the meanings that they did? How did they get this way? When you really think about it, it makes alot of sense. How did the word "cool" mean "popular"? So I decided that this was a good opportunity to make this my topic for paper #2. Hopefully I can get into how they bring a community together, and use some quotes from the language war, and emergent publics. I didn't like Trust Us were experts too much, so I might stay away from that book. Just some thoughts I had. Let me know if anyone thinks it is a bad idea.
