Hammer-philia

Well, I handed in 2 of my Incompletes with one to go. Remember that dramatic episode last year, where there was a subway strike and the Wizard wouldn't let me do my work? One paper is from that era. Another is from the era of Professor Sex, and yet a third is from when Hyde and I first started blogging, take it way, waa-a-a-a-a-aaay back to professor Snaggletooth's class.

i dropped my laptop computer this week. it fell and the hard drive died for good. well, thankfully the northwesterner is coming and bringing a laptop for me. i'll be with him in 24 little (LONG) hours.

sigh!

But working so much on finishing up this phase of my degree that I hardly have time for anything but studying and sleeping. My ballet class reminded me that I've been away for quite awhile the other night.

Anyways:
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Would every old man over 50 please leave me alone?
I feel battered by pervs and people with a condescending point to make everywhere i go. so i'm studying in a cafe and the guy cant leave me be. can he just please stop it so i can study? i dont care if old grandpa was the fucking president of history at harvard. I DONT CARE.
ugh, that's it.

Outline Due November 8th
Paper due November 15th


Did the new turn-of-the-century attitudes and behavior call into question the Enlightenment? If so, how so?

The requirement for this paper is that you use at least 3 shards of evidence from our textbook, or the readings online.

Your outline should consist of at least six points. (1) will be an introduction; (2)-(5) will be the pieces of evidence you plan to use; and (6) will be your conclusions (i.e. how did it happen, and your opinions.)

Here are some themes that your paper could engage in, although if you have any other ideas, please let me know:

New Imperialism
Racism and Anti-Semitism
Irrationalism
Nietzsche
Freud
Ethnic Nationalism
Feminism

I am available via email to help you with this, and can make appointments to meet people next Wednesday, November 8th, before class.
