this is the rough rough rough-ed out idea of what my thesis will be like, in its main structure.
So.
It needs editing, extensively.
There are actual typos.
There are inconsistencies and redundancies.
I know all this. And I know some of it is actually wrong.
But.
Since I'll be away from my computer all day, I'll leave it up to gather comments.
What do people think?
[fyi: the main body is an email i got from dad in december. the branches are reports of his that i transcribed from his notes that he dug up from when he was actually IN vietnam.]
1. should that be it, or should I have an entirely separate section, another half, on a totally different topic? Is this enough, or is it too narrow a focus for A Thesis?
2. what about the structure: sort of like a tree, with the stories being branches. Good?
3. what about the angle: As Told To Me By My Father, or should I cut that out and have it entirely presented as if in his words, as if I weren't even there? Do you like the Knowledge Being passed To A New Generation thing, should that be played up, or omitted?
4. dammit, my brain is fried.
please be nice, i'm real fragile.
OK I have no more time. I must go, must must must.
please if you love me you will look at this thing; i have been muddling along all this time and i feel like i have almost nothing so far, and i can't work any faster, and i have almost no feedback on any of it, and i don't work well in a vaccuum. i need to have input.
AUGH! when did it become 11? dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit
