Today in class we discussed possible topics for our second paper and went into detail about the sources we want to use and how we want to construct our papers. I focused on a couple of different topics I wanted to write about, including Julio Morales vs the People and the Steubenville Rape case. After the discussions, I decided to go with the Julio Morales case, as it was more in the age group we have discussed often, and it was a case nobody else brought up. I am going to focus on the laws created around it as that is the biggest issue of the rhetoric surrounding this case. Here are some of the links I plan on using to write about my case:

There is a lot of information on this case so it should be fairly easy to get the information I need to write my paper. Everyone chose their topics and it will be interesting to get the case facts from everyone and see the comparisons between these cases and Missoula.
