I have explored the researchstory wiki and have become familiar with the navigation. I can easily find due dates, session expectations, and MLA format.



I decided to work on Victor Hugo. I am reading two books of him "Les misérables" and "Dernier jour d'un condamné" as such as poems from him. I will work on the topic of justice, which is a topic constantly present in Victor Hugo's work. I think it is a good choice since Victor Hugo is a famous, talented, and great guy. There is a lot of things to say on him and I think I will be able to find lots of diferents source easily.

I already read one of the book "Dernier joue d'un condamné" and some poems, now I have to finish "Les miserables" which is really long. ( Two books of 900 pages.)

__**Pathfinder :**__


 * Title, Introduction, and Scope:** I did not have my topic yet since I am still reading the books however I might probably talk about how justice is always present in Victore Hugo's books.


 * General Advice for Researchers:** I have to do reaserch on Hugo's life and his idea.


 * Books:** Annotate any titles that are critically important. You may want to access from Google Scholar if appropriate. If a work is truly not-to-be-missed, you might consider linking to reviews from the New York Times, Amazon, or other online sources.


 * Gateway or Portal Sites on the Internet:**.


 * Primary Sources:** Are there key documents--letters, speeches, legislation, etc--that are important or lead to a better understanding of the topic?

One of my books "Les misérables" have been adapted into a movie.
 * Video/Streaming Video Resources:**

I need to finish reading my book and fine a final topic. Then I need to make research on this topic.
 * Reflection / Additional Advice to Researchers:**

I must have lots of different souces.

 * __I changed my topic__**.

The book I chose of Victor Hugo was really interesting however it is really big. I wont have time to finish it. After talking with my supervisor I decided to work on Le grand Cahier of Agota Kristof. The book talks about the lives of two little twins, at their grand-mother' house during the war. This book is told to be hard since sex is a lot present in a hard way. Pedophilia and bestiality is a lot present.

Since this book is dealing with the education of the children during the war, and it is a topic in which I am interesting it, I will compare it with another book dealing with children during the war. I found two but I can't find both of them in China. I need to research more. When I will find the book my topic question will probably be something like :

-In what ways does war influence children's education ? or - War and its consequences over children.

My thesis will then be arguying how the war is a major factor of the bad education children receive during the war or in an other hand how people and familly becomes more close, everyone helping everyone etc ...
