The topic for my research paper is the sitcom 'Seinfeld'. This topic doesn't have a significant impact on american culture, other than that nearly every american with a t.v. has stumbled upon a re-run of seinfeld sometime in their channel changing, and most factor it into their daily schedule. It is different from other t.v. shows because it doesn't attempt to teach a moral at the end of the episode, the episodes themselves don't have any particular area of emphasis, and it is officially about nothing. The issues that i will be addressing have to do with it being the most representative of people's inner thoughts and true, realistic actions. It is an excellent example of humanity, and should be studied as such, as opposed to just a comedic sitcom.

It is difficult to assess how well i did on papers earlier this semester, but i think the best estimate i can give is on the "state of american literature" essay. It was the first essay of that nature that i had written for quite a while, as such, it was very rough. I would give it was a low. It didn't help that it was written in various pieces and then thrown together, but even the various pieces by themselves weren't excellent. To make it better, I would attempt to unify the various sections, give it a more clear, defined thesis, and argue my point more strongly. However, since it is a paper about a subject that i care so very little about, i will never open that document again.

The chapters about Krakauer were highly entertaining, first, because i love mountain climbing, and second, because it gav eme a break from reading about chris's boring shit. but as for the actual prompt, yes, it made his recount of chris's story more credibible. It is easy to imagine Krakauer as a skinnyass hippie journalist for a nature magazine, but hearing about his ordeal, my image of him became much clearer, and as a result, i can view his commentary about Chris with trust because they are coming from a person with experience in the subject area.
