Jun. 30th, 2007 10:29 pmI'd been meaning to post this sooner, but I was distracted by a house guest and much snugglage. I passed my final assignment, and got a bloody good grade as well. Now all I have to do is two more exams and then I'm done.

Had an exam. Went okay. Will see what happens.
Got a job! I shall be a slave to the keyboard starting next Wednesday, 24 hours a week. Rah. Go me.
And now I have to panic and finish my assignment, because it has to be handed in tomorrow. *panics*

While writing the outline (*arghflailmuchgnashingofteeth*) this popped up in my head:
Conclusion to the essay I will start writing in a few days
Olaudah Equiano has been robbed of his African 'self', his heritage, by slavery, and throughout the novel we see him slowly building a new 'self'. However, this new 'self' is of necessity partly made up out of components of the 'other', the European culture. In the end, the person who emerges is neither solely African, nor entirely European. Instead we see the amalgamation of the two: Gustavus Vassa, The African.
Nifty, no?
Unfortunately, this is my painfully constructed thesis for the outline:
Olaudah Equiano uses the familiar language and rhetoric of Christianity and the Bible to expose the hypocrisy of slavery and maltreatment of black freemen.
There's a gap there.
In fact, it's the bloody Grand Canyon.
