The Quest Continues



And so, after an epic battle against Samuel Richardson’s Sir Charles Grandison I have finally defeated the 1,600 page monster and his 20 Academic Article minions. But, as it is often noted, the battle may have been won but the war is not over.  The enemy will not be truly defeated until I can dispel the darkness over his land and to do this I must forge an illuminating 4000 Word Paper.  

Even if I gain victory over Sir Charles Grandison, I know that the wrathful King of the English Department has released another challenger and she sits, biding her time, looking for the perfect moment to attack. But I will not despair.  Let him send whatever challenges he may, I will meet them bravely with a pencil in one hand and a flashcard in the other.

And so the writing stage of Essay #1 begins! Wish me luck and keep praying. After this comes essay number two - an equally challenging analysis of the Eliza Fenwick's infinitely shorter novel Secresy

  1. This is hilarious :)

    At least you don't have to worry about finishing Secresy, right? I was about to ask if there exist 20 articles on that book when I realized you could just use articles about themes and the time period and so on.
