Since essay 2 has to do with family, I started to think about my family in order to come up with ideas. One thing I found interesting was how a funeral brings a family closer, not matter what they are going through. Its like they put their differences aside in order to pay respect to the person that recently died. Sometimes a funeral also serves as a family reunion because distant relatives and friends all reunite.
Another topic is how a person grows and gets "promoted" to higher positions. For example, as a child, one acts like a child, but when he/she grows to a higher positions, he/she looks down at childhood and remembers how it felt to be a child. A teenager acts like a typical teenager and acts rebellious against their parents, but when the teen grows and becomes a parent with a teenager, he/she learns what they put their parents through when they were younger.

I'm interested in the idea of families and funerals but I'm not sure how you would develop an argument from it. Your other topic seems rather vague. You are describing a phenomenon, but again I'm not sure how you will take a position on this.
What story are you using? Do some freewriting on some possibilities and review some of the stories we looked at.
