And now I whine about something more immature

How are you supposed to write a 7-page paper about a 4000 page novel? How!?? Keeping in mind that the professor wants "scope." i.e. He gave us an example of a great paper somebody turned in for his class, except that it only discussed the first part of the novel (Swann's Way). He warned us against doing something like that

My girlfriend and I read Remembrance of Things Past as a three-month independent study in our senior year. (I suppose you had to read In Search of Lost Time, eh?) Loved the book, had an impossible time writing the required paper for credit. As my faculty advisor gently (and understandingly) said, “Well, the real point was to read the book, yes?”

Topic: Where would Baron Charlus have gone in the San Francisco South-of-Market scene (c.1978) to get his kicks? Discuss impact of cultural and historical eras on expression of sexual perversion. B^)}

Fuck, I would write about that for FUN.

But, Charlus *is* going to be the focus of half my paper. So good call on that. He really is the most memorable thing about the novel.
