Final paper ideas and group projects!

I think that i have finally decided what i want to write my term paper on. i feel that through out the semester Nabokov has a strong connection to many of his characters, especially Humbert Humbert. they seem to share some of the same aspects of life thinking through their writing and obsessions. and with these aspects i think it is possible for a person to see into their souls, or at least a glimpse into their souls. i feel like it may be far fetched to compare nabokov to Humbert but i have felt that they share something undescribable from the moment we read "Speak Memory" and "Lolita".

as for group presentations, i am very excited! i cant wait to see what all the other groups have come up with and what they have discovered!

I wish that we would have been able to spend more time on TT. i feel like we might have gotten some of what is going on in that complex text, but really i felt slightly sad when we ended class and knew that we wouldnt be discussing it in more depth. hopefully there will be a group presentation or even a term paper that focuses on TT, that will be interresting to see what the classmates have come up with on their own.
