Humorous...
For some reason I keep getting papers back that I don't really remember writing. I guess that's a good thing; it either means that someone's writing papers and putting my name on them, or that I go somewhere else in my head while any essayical* task is being performed. If it's the first thing, I'd like to thank whoever you are. If it's the second thing, what is wrong with me?
Today I got back a paper written on this topic: "The Portrayal of Truth Through Images in Art Spiegelman's Maus" Important note: not exactly one of the topics we were supposed to write about, but one I felt like writing about and since our Comics Prof/Guy/Person is pretty cool about things like that, I wrote it how I wanted to.
The humorous part of this story is this:
Adam. As expected, this is quite complex and sophistocated analysis. Unexpectedly, you often comment on what you're analyzing in your paper and how. Even more surprisingly, you critique your own essay quite effectively - - without revising it to answer your own criticism: you begin a profound discussion of (impressionist/expressionist) truth-through-images but provide more examples than analyses often beginning a discussion of accurate representation only to change the subject, summarize the plot, speak somewhat vaguely, or talk about what the assignment was. Great work would have been top-notch by staying on your topic and developing a detailed discussion. -comments at the end of the paper.
Oh well, I thought it was humorous. Pretty much sums up my brain. And don't worry: I got 22.5/25 on the paper.
That's a 90%.
*essayical is not a real word.
