Hey! it seems like you're really interested in the Fall of the AIG and that you could get enough information about it, so i'd go with that one. The decline in the stock market would also be interesting, but i think you're initially right, it's a really broad topic and it could be difficult to start unless you focused on one aspect of it. What did you think of the different databases? were they helpful to your topic? Your essay was really well written and im interested in reading about your research!

It seems lucky, or planned, that all you're topics are related! I think it's cool that people get to learn about all three of your potential topics while you are just researching one, because they are all linked to one another. In your essay I fell upon many lowercase "i"s, and a few misspelled words do to type-o's. Just make sure you edit your posts before you actually post them. As for the essay itsself; it was very interesting, and I'm excited to learn more about the fall of AIG. I think researching the stock market would have been interesting to read about, but as I gathered from your essay, it wouldn't have been much fun to research.

Feedback from essay

sammy, you seem really invested in the fall of AIG and it seems that the topic is broad enough and talked about in the news enough that i think you'll be able to find ample amounts of infomation over the coming months. Make sure you don't research too many aspects of the falling economy, like what they are doing with renewable energy becasue that will have a boat load of information in itself and what they're doing to fix all their problems because you could become swamped with so much information. Other than that you seem really interested in the topic and it's in the news enough that databases and new sources are sure to have all the information you're looking for to fully cover your topic. great job!

Hey Sam! I really liked reading your essay, you wrote it very well. I think you have a good feeling for each of your topics and that you put a good amount of time into each one. I agree with you that the fall of the stock market would bury you with ongoing information. I think that AIG and the fall of their empire would be a perfect topic for you. The only feedback I didn't gather from your essay is what you found from the various databases specifically and which databases you found useful. Other than that, great research and I enjoyed your essay!
