First Draft
I like the ideas in my draft. After all, this is one of my favorite topics to have ever written about. The part that I have written about is Mrs. C and Lyra. Like most mother-daughter relationships, it is such a complicated relationship, and I am really excited to have delved into it. Is it perfect? Nope. It is a mishmash of writing and ramblings, but there is work there. That is all I can really ask for. It is a little elementary, but we will work on the words later.
I have no clue if my draft is really comprehensible yet. I feel like it only really makes sense to me because I have the knowledge going behind it, but I wanted to make sure that if someone were to read it, it would be understandable. All I really want from the peer review today is to know how readable the essay is. I know that it could use a lot of work, and that is okay.
Next, I want to focus on my character study of Mary. I think there is something so cool about a scientist being the serpent. Was it supposed to be because science is the opposite of faith? What about her name? Is she the mother figure that Lyra needed? How does her background affect the way the story goes? There are so many avenues to go down.
