The Moment of Truth

Виньетка: герои "Илиады" Гомера. С оригинала Г.В. Тишбейна (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Today is my conference about revising my draft.  I barely finished it in time for class last Wednesday, but there were plenty of other people who didn't make it at all, so I felt better about it.  I'm still not happy with my thesis, but I thought I did a good job on the scenes I analyzed.  I also think that she's going to tell me that I need to find another source on groups of heroes working together, and I sure hope she can recommend one, because I've had real trouble finding any material on it.  Maybe I should look at books about The Iliad, which has lotsa heroes-  Achilles, Ajax, Odysseus (my Zemanta feed just kicked in with over a dozen recent articles and posts, all on The Iliad). 

The peer review I got was okay.  The paper I reviewed was only 4 pages long, and didn't make much sense to me -- I told the guy he should look at a scene I remembered from his movie (300), and I thought for a moment that he didn't see why.  Then he seemed to get it, so maybe I helped.  Hope so.

Fingers crossed for today.  I'm hoping I won't have too much revising to do.  I've got stuff due in all my classes.
