WHY AM I WRITING SO MUCH.

[epicrauko]

I started this a loooong time ago, and somehow reading up on the Saw series got this working again.

Title: Justice-ology (I suck at titles, wrrrrrryyyyy) 
Fandom: Justice. Brief mention of Saw IV, though only as a movie Alden's watched.
Rating: PG-- mild language.
Pairing/Characters: Alden-centric with significant Tom, Ron, and Luther musings. Very

Eh...sorry, I didn't read the story, but I'm sure it was great!

Anyway, you were assigned an essay over break? Really? Every one of my teachers was like "Well, I'm not allowed to assign you any homework over the break, so I won't. But if I were allowed to, I would." It seemed like they'd all gotten a talking to about not assigning any work from Mattingly, or something.

Who teaches Law as Lit?

Oh, waiiiit...they were talking about assigning work for the last Thursday...since we all had Lessons & Carols, etc. etc. to go to, they couldn't assign anything. So maybe they /were/ allowed to assign stuff over break? Sorry, I think I was confused. But still, that sucks. How long is the essay supposed to be?

[epicrauko]

Just long enough to communicate the point, but...ehh, we had two nights to read the entire book, so it's taking quite some time.

I really like this.

I really like the ideas here, as we've discussed. The main issue, as far as I can tell, is the style of it - while I enjoy the concepts and themes and whatnot, it really reads more like thoughts & speculation on a character, rather than a story or characterstudy!fic. It's statement of fact after fact, but no rhythm to the tale, if that makes any sense. (You could also do with breaks between paragraphs, but that's formatting rather than style or content). Still, I do enjoy certain phrasings and descriptions, and the speculation itself is thought-provoking.

Okay, so what would you suggest for the distinguishing between characterstudy and thought/speculation? For instance, would you suggest putting it in a more solid framework-- i.e. more action on Alden's part, showing that it's *her* doing the thinking and narrating, etc.?
