31 Functions (yo)
Essay is not going well. I'm about 600/1500 words in but I'm still not FEELING it. Every sentence feels like an effort. I love the conclusion I ultimately make, and I feel like it'll be original, but still... it's being a bitch to write.
And I keep getting distracted because - do you know the song '99 Problems' by Jay-Z? Since studying Propp and this theories of narrative function, and the mythemes that make up every song, I can't get this out of my head:
"If you're having plot troubles I feel bad for you son,
I got 31 functions but this story ain't one!
You got the opening with an Absentation,
the Interdiction then its Violation..."
Alternative geeky scholarly rap songs do NOT get me extra credit. *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*
