4.+Topic+Proposal

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a Russian who showed the world through his literature the horrible conditions of gulags. The questions I plan on addressing are; how to define the personality traits of a hero; how does my hero reflect their culture and society; how does his culture recognize or reward him; what inspired him to do what he did; how did he overcome his struggles; how did he show his struggles to others; how did his struggles affect others; what negative impacts caused him to continue what he was doing? The subtopics I plan on exploring in my topic are the causes of gulags in Soviet Russia and his opinions in wars throughout his time. The conclusions I plan on reaching are how his literature helped to change views of Soviet Russia and gulags, and how he was able to overcome his struggles.
