The Struggle to Understand
Lately, as I have been getting further into my junior theme book, Are Men Necessary? by Maureen Dowd and finding many articles and resources for my research, I've come to realize that I don't really understand what we will be doing in our papers. I thought we were supposed to leave our opinion out of the matter entirely, but then Doc O'C told me that I should definitely infuse my paper with my ideas and thoughts. I also don't know if the purpose of our paper is to answer the "why" question we are posing, or just pose the question, explain all sides of the issue, then leave it up to the reader to answer it. There is one thing that I'm clear on- I need to talk to Bolos or Doc O'C immediately.

Hayley,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. While I was originally excited about how open the Junior Theme was for us- some of my friends had their topics assigned to them!- it is a struggle to know if you are headed in the right direction or or missing the mark. But good luck- based on your previous junior theme blog you topic sounds really interesting!
