Research Paper Informaticon

So I sat down at my computer about 50 mintues before I had to leave for class and managed to type out, in 15 minutes, a response essay to the movie we watched, Samurai X.
Only, whenI burned the file, it somehow became corrupted, and Iw asn't able to print it out. She's going to let me e-mail it to her. While I was writing this however, I discovered what I really want to do my final research paper on. I want to write it on the cycles of violence/revenge, learning, and life. I want to pull examples from the Illiad, Hamlet, and Samurai X. I'm going to point out how each one shows that violence begets more violence. I'm going to talk about the cycle of learning and how one progresses from knowing nothing/child to knowing the basics/novice and the ambition and foolishness that accompany that stage, and finally the wisened adult stage, where one learns from their mistakes. I'm going to talk about how life is a cycle of forming one's self, wanting to share one's self/fighting with others' sharing of their self, and finally learning what one can and cannot change. It may not make sense, but by God I will make it make sense on my paper.
Now I just need to find evidence to back me up... For sources I want to use the Illiad, Hamlet, Samurai X, and then probably various psychology sources. I'll look up books on revenge, books on stages of life, books on learning from tragedy.
I can do this damn it.
