That is what the proposal is for.•Please answer the questions below in numbered (not paragraph) format.•Answer these questions:1.What is the topic of your research paper? Please choose a narrow,college level topic that will “fit” into 5-6 pages. If your topic is too broad or too simple, I will ask you to narrow it down and re-do this assignment.Example: “The life of Cleopatra,” and “The four pillars of Islam” are too broad and too simple for a college level paper. These topics are more appropriate for middle or high school.2.
