in class free writing

What I am thinking about recently is that what to write about in essay 2.
As I know, essay 2 is a discovery research, which means I can not write about sth that I have known much about. Then I wanted to do some research in Chinese food, which is very interesting for me and for the reader. I also wanted to know more about the rings, because, for me, rings has been a big temptation to me since I was very young and it contains a lot of cultural charm in the human history. What's more, I also have great interest in some social psychological problems. There are a lot of things which make me confused to choose. In the end, I decided to choose the rings, which attracts me most.
However, if I can not find enough resources about it, I will maybe change my mind to start another topic.


Then what do I plan to write about?
I want to express my original feeling of rings when I was very young.
Then I want to introduce the culture of the rings: where are they from? what are they originally used for?when and where did they come into our daily life? why it become a symbol of some rites or the status, just like when people get married they should put on a ring or a pope should have a ring? how did I feel when I firstly put on a ring?
That's what I want to research

Nowadays, people tend to express themselves by what they appeared, a great part of "appear"
is what they look like, we are wearing different clothes, trousers and different jewelry. Some people get tattooed and some people prefer to leave the tag of the new clothes just on their back.
However, sometimes the people misusded them, especially the rings. Even this is a time to express personality, there is still misunderstanding.

    Excellent topic!! I have heard different theories about why we use rings to symbolize things, but I don't know the answer for sure. Let me know if I can be of any help with your research.
