A shift of perspective.

On the table for discussion: One Shakespeare essay.

My (unspoken) opinion of said essay: dry as dussssssst, uninsightful, dull, pedestrian, and ponderous in style.

Teacher's opinion of said essay: solid, well-argued thesis, strong conclusion, in need of only some fine-tuning to clarify my terms but essentially ready for prime time.

Whose opinion counts?

Yeah, thank goodness. I take it these literary bricks are normal in the field.



P.S. She didn't notice that I cited The Onion, and only felt my Robin Williams quote needed to integrated better (heh, since I threw it in in a fit of madness).

Unfortunately, my thesis supervisor made me go through and take out all the exciting bits, so it was terminally dull. So yes, it's perfectly normal, just depressing. It's also a conspiracy to keep the interested amateur out by making them fall asleep through sheer boredom on the first page.
