Well, besides calling me Meredith, I thought you made several good points
Jim. I expect to receive a C for that paper, because of how much I needed to
"economize" it. I don't write analysis papers very well, I would have done
much better if I could've written a persuasive paper that Seymour's suicide
(i.e., what Franny is having problems with)
is at the root of Franny's problem.
I turned in my thesis before I read Franny and Zooey the second time, and
couldn't change it after I had a better grasp of the book. So basically I got
stuck proving a thesis I didn't much like either.
It was a Junior honors thesis, does that count as "something" ? And I know
now to read the book a second time before formulating a thesis, even if I
think I understood it the first time around. I sent it to this list, not
because I thought it good (because I didn't), but because it was Salinger
related, and that's what this list is about.
