I am so sorry I am being such a nightmare. I know I have to be pissing you off.

So the first half of our thesis--collaboration of a cultural norm--I'm good with. The second half "and its use in the classroom" is my sticking point.

basic writing and basic writers: that can work. heroes and young adult readers: that can work.

i thought the thesis/project was going to focus on young avengers. that is maybe where i was off track. i didn't realize that you were planning to focus more on hawkeye or other works--i though those would be mentioned along the way sort of as a sidebar or a oh-and-also-this-and-this sort of thing.

Well, it was going to primarily focus on YA in its first incarnation. I gave Hawkeye more stage time when we needed it to be a teaching guide.

Now, if we want to just write our initial paper and make it tangentially related to the classroom (as in, "here's what you need to get") then I'm cool with that.

I've renamed this "Hawkeye Section" in case we ditch it.

.

You know, I feel better about going with the original plan of just kind of focusing on YA.

I'm going to make a new doc and let's re-outline.

From the archives, also known as The Bottom of My Old Purse: the very beginnings of a draft. Two pages of notes we created sitting on long benches at Fassler Hall one April afternoon. Yes, I (Beam) wrote these and, yes, I date all documents.
