(no subject)
My mom keeps playing "Phantom of the Opera" songs and so I have them perpetually stuck in my head. Lalala... plus, she's really only playing "All I Ask of You"...
I am attempting to write a paper on "Family" as well as a paper on the French Revolution, and to what extent it was an expression of Enlightenment ideals. My Family paper isn't going too well. At all.
Here is my counter-evidence paragraph:
"On the other hand,......... what? Loyalty is bad? Sometimes commitment is bad for you because Cordelia and Antigonê both ended up dead and Angela was depressed and had a pretty crappy life so it’s not as though they were any good. Hah, you know, those characters are all women. Maybe that should become my thesis. But anyway, is saying that commitment often sacrifices personal gains/life/wealth/comfort/whatever really a counterargument to my thesis? Maybe I should say that some families work even without commitment. But that isn’t true. Maybe I should talk about Malachy or whathisface the guy in Antigonê that said that the state was more important than anything. Okay, no, that makes no sense and has no relation to my thesis. Dang it, I’ll think about this later."
agghhhh...
The title at the moment is "SOMETHING BRILLIANT" and I hope I to have an epiphany regarding that. Soon.
I am reading "Anna Karenina" (can I use italics? I don't think so and it's really bothering me to put the name of a book in quotations because I can't use underlining either, as far as I can tell.) It's really amazing and as I have been forever scarred by my English class, I keep finding passages to do a "commentary" on, and then remembering that I don't have to. They're good passages, though. Maybe I'll post them so you can all marvel at Tolstoy's brilliance along with me. Au revoir, mes amies. I have a French-history quiz tomorrow in French class and I really should go etudier.
