Too many wisdoms, ideals, and passions assumed as if they are mine
By the time tides slip in around my mind
An inquiry would rise on a tilting height:
Were all these shells mine to flood away?
After a storm had hit
All that would remain
Would be clouds and a glimpse of light
Lying on a silent shore
Like a seaweed drowned
During a season granted.

Comparison&Contrast
Topic of Interest: On the Justification of Gaddafi's Death at the Hands of NTC
1. Why interested?
There are two motivations. Firstly, it is a small hobby of mine to read and contemplate about current events with a critical set of mind. Secondly, I am a citizen of a country/culture that has been divided for decades with the other side ruled by dictatorship. Considering the possibility of the end of such dictatorship and a need for a stable and righteous transition and distribution of power between the two sides, it may be a good idea to have an idea on how to tie the ends after the demise of a dictatorship.
2. Why worth writing?
The topic provides not only an opinion on the justification of simply terminating a dictator, but also a personal opportunity to contemplate on what would be the optimal means of power transition from dictatorship to democracy.
3. Method of approach
a. First, investigate the history of the dictatorship, the history of NTC's actions, and various reactions toward Gaddafi’s deathSecond, find out the reasons behind such reactions. The compare and contrast will focus on the reactions.
b. Third, classify them according to groups in order to ease analysis.
c. Fourth, compare and contrast the reaction groups to come up with an idea to talk about.
d. Five, present my opinions on the idea.
e. Six, evaluate my opinions.
4. Interest: similarities/difference?
Considering the seriousness of the issue, serious approach toward both may be needed.
5. Making it original
Since there can be countless approaches to the issue, the safest method to retain the originality of my view would be to have a certain and firm attitude toward the issue based on speculations that many may have not done. My essay will respect the causes, the endevour, and the feat of NTC while maintaining a critical viewpoint on their treatment and termination of Gaddafi.
6. Why the audience will read it
There are two factors that may help in catching the readers' interest. First, the death of the dictator is one of the most significant of today's events, which concerns many living in both free and oppressed nations in the sense that it concerns the transition from autocracy to democracy. Second, there is an implied moral question on whether atrocities committed on a tremendous scale can be adequately punished by simply having the responsible dead.
