Last Paper- Thoughts on Production

I am a Humanities major. As such I have spent many a weary night in front of a computer monitor typing out typical run-on sentences such as:

"Clearly so and so's film seeks to explore the darker sides of life, not interesting itself for more than a few moments on the ephemeral of the every-day, but seeking the Self only found, or so thinks the artist, in communion with the transcendent qualities of nature and her affiliates."

Luckily I've never actually written a paper with such a thesis. But perhaps after Friday I will take a stab at writing some fake papers just to get it out of my system. Not actually saying anything can be a lot of fun. I need to take exercises in it more often.

For now, there is plenty to say for tonight's topic: The dual visions of the wilderness in America, and something about the battle going on between the logical and the Gothic in contemporary American film. Riveting, I know.

The best part of it is, it's my paper, and I can make it anything I want it to be. Just me and a keyboard, such is the technological age in which we live. So marvel in the ability you have to produce, and produce something. It doesn't matter if it makes no sense to anyone else. While you're at it, take the fake topic I just typed out above. Because ephemeral is an excellent word, I learned it from Emerson. THAT guy knew about communing with nature.
So does my little tree.
And this is my last. paper. ever.
