Potential Topics for ENG 480
CJD- This is a degenerative brain disease which killed my grandfather and is the reason that I cannot donate blood. There is currently no way to know wether you have it or not until it is already killing you. While rare, it is important to my family’s history, and I feel that there must be something missing from the article that currently exists on Wikipedia.

Souther Pacific 2472- My great grandfather worked on this engine, in his retirement, before his death. It was such a large part of his life, and it is held at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, which is both local and integral to my family’s history.

The development of the flute as an instrument- The flute is one of the oldest instruments there is and has gone through so many iterations that I would like to chronicle these to see what led to the split e, b foot model that is most common today. I’ve played flute for 11 years and yet know nothing of the instrument’s historical importance, despite iterations being used in ancient times as well as the American Revolution.
