I'm a...This is a good topic, broadly speaking. I'm also impressed by your desire to articulate your own response to the class as a whole . You don't yet have an argument (which is fine), though, so I'll say a couple things about how you can get from topic to argument.<br /><br />First, one possibility to mention. You could write this as a standard essay, which is fine, or you could write it as a more personal essay - a discussion of your own encounter with Ergodic literature. Neither way is necessarily better than they other, but I wanted to mention the possibility.<br /><br />Regardless of which approach you take (more personal or less personal) it's important that you not try to tackle everything. It will be easier to formulate an argument and pursue it in detail if you pick 1, 2, or at most 3 books/games that you want to talk about. I understand the impulse to cover everything, but inevitably you'll end up not saying much about anything in particular if you do that. You need to do find a particular thing you want to say about Ergodic literature, or your experience with it, focusing on a subset of what we've talked about. You simply can't do everything well.<br /><br />The idea is excellent - it just needs to be a little more focused. Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302919444091859459noreply@blogger.com
