After class today I realized I am terrible at writing in general and am going to have lots of trouble writing the rough draft due Friday. I realized I do not really understand what I am going to write about or what I am going to use as my thesis. I did decide that I am defiantly going to use firefly as the show I am going to use for my paper but I have not completely decided on what episode I am going to use. If I had to choose I think I would go with the episode we had to watch first where Captain Mal and his crew rob the train or the episode where Captain Mal defends Inara from the man that hired her to be his companion. As of right now I think I am going to use the episode about the train heist as the episode for my paper because it shows how the characters act towards each other and even though its not the first episode it is the first episode to air on television. I would use it as my episode because it shows Malcolm's mentality, Jayne's mentality, Zoe's mentality, and River was fully introduced to the viewers. I like this episode because it is easy to be confused about is going on. I think I am going to write this paper about one episode and change my mind after I turn it in and end up writing about a completely different episode because I am terrible at writing.
Don't worry. You're not the only one who thinks they will have trouble writing their paper. I am also a little confused on what I want to write about exactly.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do think you are going in a good direction. I like that you choose "The Train Job" because you said it shows the mentalities of the characters, but it doesn't give so much information on why their mentalities are the way they are. It leaves suspense.
And don't worry, I have a feeling I might change my mind on the episode I picked. Hah, we're in the same boat. Well, good luck! Don't be so hard on yourself. (:
haha yeah I'm at like a 3rd grade writing level so its gonna be tough but hey I'm about to start it now so I'll probably be done by midnight
