You don't need to thank me, anyone should have done the same. I was glad to help.
We've got a history class in the dreams that talks a lot like that. I don't always get it, but it helps that he gets the class involved in explaining why some things are important. It's easier to learn that way.
Huh. So he loses the fish after all that work, it's a story about how pointless life can seem sometimes. Maybe it's supposed to make you look deeper at your own. Like... why bother, then, right? Huh. I got a paper to write.
Sure, just a means to an end, but it kind of feels like everyone expects kids to go there from High School, just a natural... progression... thing. Right? So if you're not doing that, then what DO you do? that's kind of where I'm stuck.
But thanks for the help! Because I think I figured out my lit paper at least.
