Possible Term Paper Topics: You can choose to do research on one of these authors, read work in English by them, and some work in Japanese about them or their work.  In your paper, when you cite the Japanese work, translate the quotes you use into English and also type the Japanese original next to the translation.  Your 15-page paper should give a short biography of the writer, discuss some writing by the person, and show the use of Japanese-language sources. If you also would like to translate some portion of the author's work into English, that's fine, too.
