   I thought the topic you choose was very unique and it caught my attention.

   A brilliant topic and one I hope you’ll welcome me collaborating on, f0restrun.
   As we discussed, my brother Philip has formed a charming and therapeutic attachment to a baby doll his caretakers call Phyllis, so you’re touching my heart here, but I’m committed to approaching this matter with academic rigor. I hope you are too. Looking now at my own avatar on this blog, I wonder why we find affection for small animals, such as that adorable puppy, acceptable but withhold our approval for attachments to inanimate objects. Maybe it’s that they mimic living things. We recognize and accept a fanatical attachment to cars, for example, in some avid owners, but would not grant them approval if they were equally fond of a doll.

   Your topic is still very broad. If you do your research right, you won’t need to incorporate all the elements or subject groups you’re considering here. Focus on the school angle or the geriatric care angle. Limit yourself to either robots or dolls but not both, at least for the time being. If you find you MUST expand your focus, there’s a time to do that. But most very specific areas of study expand out naturally and don’t need to be broadened.

   Like all feedback, this is meant to begin a conversation, FR.
   I am eager to hear your reply.

     Thank you so much! Since this topic is really important to me, I am committed to working hard on this. I wonder why people are okay with small animals but not cute inanimate objects too. Maybe since people are taught in a way that discourages dolls at a certain age, they just end up feeling discouraged and sometimes disgusted for dolls and I do not understand it. Dolls for me, are therapeutic. And that’s probably how your brother feels, too. So I feel like I can relate to him in that sense.

     Also I needed help I was kind of scared to say anything because it was so close to the deadline. I want to do dolls only. I have multiple hypothesis lists, I just chose that one because I could not get past the 5th sentence and I needed to turn it in. I guess I could say I just don’t know what to search for. I am not that good at researching I just need some small tips if that is okay with you.

   I can’t wait. I don’t think you’re going to have much trouble finding sources. In less than a second, Google Scholar delivered me a couple thousand in response to this search:

   I actually used that when I searched for my hypothesis. I just couldn’t find something specific to look for. Do you think we should start writing our papers now? Or wait.
