Don't want to do homework. Wow, that's new.
So far I have a few things left on my list of "must do before school ends," including but not limited to:
--touch up the Vargish essay so I can turn it in; I finished it today, but I need to go back and reread the entire thing at some later point;
--write the English essay; I've decided I'm writing a comparative paper about the function of law in both A Doll's House and The Handmaid's Tale, but beyond that I have no idea;
--write my short story; I'm to the point where I don't even know how much it relates the the inital prompt any more and I'm just waiting for it to be writeable;
--create a PowerPoint presentation for math; this should be easy.
I'm kind of excited about the paper for English, now that I know what I'm doing, but I'm worried that I'll miss some important part of Handmaid's Tale because I haven't read it recently and it's not like Doll's House which is short enough that I can go back and reread it. Still, having a direction to go in does help. So far I think I'll discuss things like:
--law's ignorance of human emotion (For some reason I think of "The law is reason free from passion" from Legally Blonde);
--whether laws should be a list of "do's" or "don'ts";
--the use of religious law as practical law;
--how laws which are intended as protection of freedoms end up restricting freedom.
I just don't know if I have enough evidence from Doll's House to support all of those different ideas. I know I can find it all in Handmaid's Tale, but it will be tricky finding noticeable differences between the two. Still, I have confidence that this is something I will be capapble of doing. I just don't want to have to do it now.
And on a final note, though I don't have a story written yet for Polaris, I think I've got a title for it: "Cold War, Cold World." Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.
