Research Paper Topic Freewrite

I am interested in Research Paper Idea #4 -- Portraying Human Minds in Film as my research paper. The film I will be using is The Notebook (2004). I chose this because, I love watching movies and I've watched The Notebook millions of times. This movie is about a woman with Alzheimer's - memory loss.

I am studying nursing at LaGuardia. I was indecisive about choosing a major, going from one to another. At first I wanted to be a Pediatrician, but i realized that kids are way too much work. I then wanted to be a cop, but my mom and dad said I'd die and I think my boyfriend thought I was going to shoot myself, by accident... I decided to study up on becoming a registered nurse. I heard it isn't easy at all, but I'm up for a challenge. When I was little, I wanted to be a nurse, but I changed my mind years later because I hated needles with a passion. Then I got over it, because .. it's not that bad. I have many goals, and plans for the future and right now. My goals are to finish college as soon as possible, and to finally begin my life with the career I have chosen. I can't wait to be a nurse one day and take care of people. I'd say I am a humanities person, definitely not a science person. I've hated all that scientific stuff from the first time I ever heard of it. I think I've always been a thinker, maybe sometimes too much. So that's why I'm a humanities person. I've always had a thing for investigating, like inspector gadget =D Because of Area 51 in Las Vegas, Nevada I believe the U.S. is scientific in a way. I hope to learn a lot about science, even though I don't like it, but because I never paid attention to it in highschool..

ENG 101 Assignment #1 Brainstorming

I was interested in Temple Grandin's story. I agree with the quote that "Human beings do not really need emotions to connect with other human beings or animals or to behave morally with a sense of right and wrong." Humans can connect with other humans and animals in many other ways. She did not understand human emotions like love because of her autism. This did not effect her life in being a successful person. She was an animal researcher, activist for autism research, and writer and public figure. She did all of this without any emotion, so a human does not need emotion.
