I need to have 3 sources.

1) A movie
2) A book/novel
3) Anything else

I need to pick ANY theme in U.S. History are write a 10 page term paper on it.


WOW, that's a pretty broad topic list. I wrote a kickass paper on Education in America after Vietnam last quarter for soc 345, and it's got like a full five pages of charts and graphs and other bullshit that would make great reference material if you'd like to use it. I would DEFINITELY suggest reading either James Loewen's Lies Across America or Lies My Teacher Told Me, which basically deal with myths about American History that textbooks get wrong. They are both really easy, fascinating reads, and have tons of reference material, plus each chapter could write you a paper in itself. They're at any library...

If you want to do a book, my faves are Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, which you could read in one day and write a million pages on, and Ron Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, with which you could OF COURSE write about both the book (which is very good) and the movie. Hope this helped! Good Luck!

I didn't think the Scarlet Letter was written in the 20th century.
