    Yeah, so this is a rough draft essay where we have to interpret the Joy Luck Club based on Joseph Campbell's ideas of what makes a hero . We choose a specific character and write about how they are a hero due to what they go through and stuff and stuff. Anyways, final draft is due next Wednesday so I've got some time to make edits.

    I realize it gets worse as it goes along, I was working on it for a while and I guess I got tired. Any comments, suggestions, changes that need to be made, etc., are welcome..

    OK OK sorry. That was uncalled for.

    Final draft is due Wednesday. Three pages and a bit double-spaced per MLA standards. *shrug*

    Man, I hate proofreading my own papers. Since most of my papers were written the night before they were due, when I completed them I would save it and print it. I wouldn't ever read the completed paper. I hated reading my own work. (only times I had different drafts was when the professors made us do that)

    Too bad you couldn't do the Paper on Star Wars instead of Joy Luck Club. :D Lucas used the Campbell idea when writing it.

    I don't know anything about The Joy Luck Club... Doesn't the hero need some sort of mentor figure? And doesn't the hero need to find themselves in a horrible situation that looks impossible to get out of? It seems like only one character would be the ultimate hero in the story too? :confused:

    Yeah, we're using I guess.. a watered-down view on the hero's journey based on an interview with Joseph Campbell, using that as our source for his idea's on the hero. It's 3-pages long so there's not all that much there, and I used pretty much most of the main quotes in me essay.

    I highly recommend listening to the advice of this guy. He can write pretty well.

    (Rumor is, he actually sends stuff to Will and passes along a cut of any proceeds/praise, but that's just what I heard)
