Thesis

A basic idea of my thesis: Comfort objects, whether displayed in literature or media, play a major role in the psychological development of children.

Happy November 1st!

I haven't done so much research since my last post. (college applications are to blame.) However, I am going to begin experimenting on my sister and tracking her reactions towards her comfort items. I will track how she acts when she has them as opposed to when she doesn't. This will be recorded in a notebook, and will be used as a main part of my project.
