My thoughts...

The subject that I am tackling for my expressive paper this time around has to do with the subject of suicide. In Eggers book there is a character named John who attempts to kill himself. I thought that this would be a great topic to discuss in my paper. I realize that it is morbid and possibly a subject that some people have a hard time talking about. Yet I feel compelled to discuss it since I have lost two people to suicide and have even attempted it myself. I feel like I understand the feelings involved and how someone is able to reach the point of not wanting to live. It is a scary and sad situation no matter from what perspective suicide is looked at... I am concerned about the Magnum Opus draft that we have to turn in on Tuesday. I think I am doing an outline of it instead of a draft. I am not sure where to begin and I feel overwhelmed by the whole thing. This is why I procrastinated in doing it.
