I mean, duh, you use things to get across your point
Chuck Palahniuk in 'Diary' and Vladimir Nabokov in 'Lolita' use the construct of writing (ie, a jailhouse confession, a coma diary, writing on walls, etc) to intermix their narratives with the theory of narrative itself, while Mike Nichols in 'Closer' uses the internet, the camera, and the cell phone to theorize and contemplate the technology and pathology of contemporary relationships. Both media, writing and technology, become the mechanisms for expressing the major ideas and psychologies of these works. Using all three works, please explore these notions in a well-constructed essay.
...maybe it's just me, but I look at that and it just totally does not glue together coherently. Is it just me? I can't get a grip on a single idea to attempt to write a thesis statement about. The other essays were very precise - in one case asking for an analysis of two relationships and what they say about America, popular culture, and the degradation of romance - in the other asking for a comparison of three stories and what they say about identity and objectivity in the contemporary American experience.
But this one? I can't find anything to actually write about without sounding like I'm explaining to a failed grade-school student that you can use indirect methods to get across your point. It sounds to me like she wrote the question at 5AM and fell into bed.
