Little Brother

The iSearch paper is designed to teach both the writer and the reader something valuable about a chosen topic and about the nature of searching and discovery. Unlike the standard research paper, in which the writer usually assumes a detached and
objective stance, this paper allows you to take an active role in your search, to experience some of the hunt for facts and truths firsthand, and to create a step­ by ­step record of the discovery process.
Topic?: For this assignment, you want to explore a theme or issue that relates to Little Brother. You may choose any theme (for example privacy, gaming, government surveillance, torture, student rights, data mining, protests, San Francisco,etc.) as long
as it relates to the novel. Make sure to pick something that genuinely interests you because you’ll be spending a lot of time working on the topic.
Research Question: ?The best way (but not the only way) to approach this paper is to brainstorm a research question. For instance, should torture be used in matters of national security? You can use this question to help you frame and narrow down your research.
Citing: ?Include in­text citations and a works cited page to document the research sources you consulted. MLA format.
Format?: The iSearch paper should be written in three sections for 5 pages. These can be organized either explicitly, with subheadings, or implicitly.
The sections are:
I. What I Know, Assume, or Imagine,
II. The Search,
III. What I Discovered
I. What I Know, Assume, or Imagine
Before conducting any formal research, write a section in which you explain to the reader what you think you know, what you assume, or what you imagine about your topic. For example, in researching censorship and book bans, you might want to offer
some ideas about how censorship happens and tell us what you know about the subject. This section can tell the story of why this research interests you, and how your topic connects to Little Brother.
II. The Search
Test your knowledge, assumptions, or conjectures by researching your paper topic thoroughly by consulting sources such as books, magazines, newspapers, films, tapes,
electronic sources, and so forth. Be sure to record all the information you gather. Write your search up in a narrative form, relating the steps of the discovery process. Do not
feel obligated to tell everything, but highlight the happenings and facts you uncovered that were crucial to your hunt and contributed to your understanding of information; use documentation when appropriate.
III. What I Discovered
After concluding your search, compare what you thought you knew, assumed, or imagined with what you actually discovered; assess your overall learning experience; and offer some personal commentary about the value of your discoveries and/or draw some conclusions. Here, you can reflect on your original positioning and discuss what you have learned. You may also discuss your own personal viewpoints on an issue
based on what you’ve discovered.
IMPORTANT : I need the first part which is
I. What I Know, Assume, or Imagine part to be written and handed over to me by the selected deadline. The first part should be around 1 page long, please include citation too.
