"I am an English Major but I hate reading and writing" - Derrick W.
Haha, so, it's a given that we have to write papers for English classes. Such is the life. After some deep thinking (along with a vast amount of sighs of desperation and immense complaining), I decided I would write about "The Fix." It is the story that I most enjoyed and certainly has a nice metaphorical quality to it. My approach will be to analyze the story for what it is on the surface, as far as the way it is written, the tone, the conflict, etc. Then compare that to the underlying meaning, answering the questions (or attempting to, haha), "Why is Sherman an empty sea?", "Why is Douglas so drawn to Sherman in the beginning when he's still just a stranger?", and so on. These are the types of things we discussed in class but I'll elaborate on them and hopefully find and expound meaning...
You might consider looking at it as a religious parable.
