beccaelizabethBoth essays have the right number of words :-)
My Shakespeare one doesn't have a conclusion exactly, but I think I can shuffle paragraphs around so some of my introduction is in the conclusion space. I never know how to do conclusions, I just said all what I was saying. It's easy if there's a question to answer the question, but this is a critical analysis of something I wrote. What do I conclude, 'This is why I rock and Shakespeare sucks'?
On the other hand it does have all the words I made a list of to shove in the essay somewhere, quotes from three seperate bits of reading, and a bit of Bakhtin, because the teacher likes that. Though honestly I'm not sure I'm using the Bakhtin words right, but it's only a sentence so it's worth a try.
Also I did a bit of analysis on a bit of Shakespeare and then on my thing to show I'd noticed all the tricks and used some, and that I understood the genre (sonnets, and servants not using them). Learning outcomes achieved.
I don't know why it isn't making me arrgh like the Jane Eyre one. I guess I have more to say about Shakespeare. Or possibly a more focused thing to say, since part of the JE trouble is I don't know how to do an essay about a whole novel except the thing where you can't really go deep enough to do the whole novel. Blah. Surely I should be getting better at this stuff by now?
I like poems. Poems are good. You know you've got a poem. It has a beginning and a middle and an end, and the right number of dedums, and rhymes in particular places. Making one artistic I couldn't guarantee, but making one according to the recipe I can be fairly sure of.
... I didn't like the 'Intro Poetry' unit, but I think that was cause the teacher likes mostly poems about suicide. Although really I did just spend a semester studying texts about madness and suicide. But for the Shakespeare assignment I'm allowed to get in and grab bits and make them not in fact about suicide. I still couldn't avoid them being bloody depressing though.
... okay, the rush of making wordcount is wearing off, now I'm back to feeling kind of blah.
*sigh*
I should have said I'd go to dancing this evening. I can do the bibliography at college tomorrow and hand things in as they are. I'm sure my brain will be worn out by this evening anyway.
It's the last week I'll have to think about essays. Yaays!
... until next college year.
... and a form turned up in the mail today about Income Support so the replacement thoughts aren't going to be...
oh shush brain, just have a chocolate brownie chunk and bask in the achievement
