Is there a draft in here? (revising my research paper)
I had my conference with Dr. Toffee yesterday, and it was an eye-opener. I was amazed at how many things I didn't notice were wrong with my draft (on one page I even misspelled Avatar!). I knew that I had a problem with organization, and she showed me how to fix that (define terms one by one in the lit survey section of the paper, then keep all the analysis divided into the three scenes I'm looking at). Now it seems obvious, and I can't believe I didn't figure that out for myself. I have to drive out to NIU in Dekalb tomorrow to use their library. Ours doesn't have the 2 books I need to quote from (I returned the copies I got through interlibrary loan already. I was sure I was finished with them).
Anyway, I have until 8AM Monday to finish the revision, and I plan to rewatch the entire movie (during breaks from revising, so it'll probably take all weekend) before then. I want to come up with a brilliant conclusion about what Avatar is saying about disability and the disabled.
