Okay, I'm getting really irritated with this research essay. So now I am going back and forth between the following topics: Race/Gender/Social Class aspect in Land of the Dead OR now I'm kind of leaning towards the fandom aspect. This girl at work was trying to help me and she gave me a lot of good ideas for the fandom topic. I came home from work and tried to look up some sites and I found some, which is great, but how in the world do I incorporate that in to 8-10 pages? I know I can answer questions like who is the average fan of these movies and I can talk about what these fanatics discuss on their sites and so on, but I feel if I do something like this though, that I'll be using the majority of other people's words and opinions throughout my entire essay and I don't want that. I feel like I should have more of "me" in there with those sources supporting me but quite honestly I don't really know how I can come up with that. (I think my brain is fried. Time for summer?!)
Another part of the fandom that I'm worried about, is not finding any books to look up zombie films and their fans. I've already searched the UGL and Kresge Libraries and I checked out two books for the Race/Gender topic. I skimmed them and discovered only one is actually relevant and I'm starting to get nervous/anxious because I never have problems with writing but when it comes to research FORGET IT, I FAIL. I'm being Negative Nancy right now but I'm very weird and I like to perfect things, especially in my writing, and I don't even have any writing for this subject and, now I'm rambling! Long story short, I'm not feeling very confident in my proposal that is due next Friday, let alone my entire essay. :( BOO
I would also like to talk about discussion today in class. I was confused, especially when talk about how we're supposed to be sympathizing with the zombies. Um, why?! No! I don't understand that but, moving on...
Towards the end of class I was annoyed with some of the remarks about the "development of characters" because I think the "points" that were trying to be made actually made no sense to me so I shot back with my own opinions. It was fun :) I like debating.
