Prior to reading the syllabus and calendar I wasn't really sure what was meant by research in language and literature. However, based on the reading and the review of the syllabus I got some key points of what it could mean. Based on that I came across something I have always thought about that I felt could be pretty cool to research. When reading a creative piece, I feel far more captured than when I read something very bland. I know this is a topic of interest can appeal to many people because how many people would find, "I ate ice cream with almonds" appealing in comparison to, "I had invigorating vanilla ice cream on a summer day with almonds that blended with the vanilla." What is it exactly that this usage of words stimulate to attract a reader more? I'd be interested of looking into that.
