Today I found out that there are several things I need to fix about my paper. These are not grammatical errors, nor are they idealistic errors. They are errors in the way my paper flows around my key scene. Apparently I need more connections to the key scene and Buffy, and less resources. I thought I had some great resources and amazing research that tied in to my thesis, but it was too thorough and in depth and strayed away from the “Buffy” correlation and more towards the Frankenstein factor. So, I am going to go back and change the entire structure of my paper (this is going to take a while L) and drop several resources. I am focusing on changing the structure of my paper, not one specific section. I first need to explain the parallel to Buffy and Frankenstein. Then I need to include a normal interpretation of Frankenstein and Mary Shelley’s idea of scientific scares. Next I need to explain how science has changed over time, as well as how it has changed us as a society. Then I must explain how the Buffy episode is different from the scenario in the novel Frankenstein. After that I must go on to show what the episode is telling us about modern day science as opposed to the old fears/accomplishments about science. Then I will lead in to my real world connections, such as stem cell research, test tube babies, organ donors, and etc. In the very end, I will explain why the episode was really important. I will explain that the Buffy the Vampire episode is depicting how modern day science has taken one step closer to the moral boundary, and that it just may go too far. In this episodes case, murder is what finally crosses the line.
