Essay & Composition Writing

A2 english language.

Investigating language.
I have chosen to base my study upon investigating the language differences and similarities between two texts, Two blurbs from two different biographies written about two individual iconic women from a particular generation.

would you say my study seems intersting enough and would it work?

Hello, Jessie-- and welcome to English Forums. Since you say you are using biographies for text, you will be examining the language of the two authors--so what is the significance of the subject matter (the iconic women)? It is always interesting to compare the language of texts from different times (historical linguistics) or registers (sociolinguistics), but without further detail of what aspect of language you will be investigating, the topic you have presented seems rather bare of either interest or grist.
