Some of you may have been wondering why I broke my daily posting schedule. One acronym is the cause of this, SRP, or the Senior Research Paper. Every year at my school we have to write a research paper, but this one has been so difficult. I don't know if it is what I chose or the theme I chose to point out, but I have been struggling from day one .
For this paper, we have to read a novel (or what I did-- read two play scripts) and analyze the author and the novel as they relate to one theme found in the book. I chose to read The Odd Couple and The Odd Couple: Female Version by Neil Simon, which are great scripts, but there isn't a whole lot out there on Simon or his works. This is most likely due to the fact that he isn't dead and he writes comedy, which so many people take purely for entertainment value and not for actual content. I, however, feel that Simon might have been trying to get to a deeper meaning.
So, here I go on my one woman journey to be one of the first people to critically analyze Neil Simon's Odd Couples haha. Wish me luck! I will try to post as often as I can :)
Did you have to write an SRP? How did you make it through?
