<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>^Who doesn't work best under pressure? =p</p>
<p>Hey guys!! havent been on the thread in a while. Im still trying to figure out which seminar im gonna put as first, but it definetly between foreign policy and Islam.</p>
<ol>
<li>savoirfaire- Cornell I: Foreign Policy as Subversion</li>
<li>Sourapplezz- Cornell II: Voyages to the Otherworld: Medieval Romance and Modern Adaptations OR UT Austin: The Cultures of Writing</li>
<li>darkrulerII- UT Austin: The Cultures of Writing OR Cornell II: Voyages to the Otherworld: Medieval Romance and Modern Adaptations
4.bravos89- Cornell I: Subverting other Nations through Foreign Policy</li>
<li>Icicle12- Cornell I: Foreign Policy as Subversion</li>
<li>vegangirl- St. Louis: The Ties that Bind (civil rights/apartheid)</li>
<li>hey_la - St. Louis: The Ties that Bind</li>
<li>evil<em>asian</em>dictator-Cornell I: Foreign Policy as Subversion OR St. Louis: The Ties That Bind</li>
<li>pyroman - Cornell I: Foreign Policy as Subversion OR Michigan: Islam</li>
</ol>
<p>I totally work better under pressure as well. I am an excellent research paper writer at 2 am.</p>
<p>I'm also a sheep. Cornell I is my first choice, but St. Louis and Michigan follow VERY close behind. I'd be so excited with any of those, but unfortunately Austin and Cornell II aren't for me.</p>

<p>Hey, for your literary analysis, are you quoting the work directly?</p>
<p>I'm planning on it. I think 4-6 brief quotations, a few words max. Maybe a very short block quote, depending on how verbose I am feeling. Are you?</p>
<p>Hi everyone, I just came across this thread and recently received an app to TASP...I don't know if I should apply though. </p>
<p>Could a former TASPer answer my Q? Alright, I wanted to know whether EVERYONE in TASP is like a hardcore debater-I know what I believe-strong opinons, etc. I'm afraid I don't have very strong opinions, but as corny as it sounds, I love to learn and listen to others' opinions. I think it would be really interesting to just learn from the other TASPers and from the seminar...just to learn something completely different (i.e., about Islam possibly) that is something I would have never studied otherwise. </p>
<p>So basically, is it worth applying to if I know that I wouldn't be the most vocal of the group?</p>
<p>Yes, I am definitely quoting the work directly. I'm analyzing an essay, and it isn't too long, so I should get in some quotes here and there.</p>
<p>Im going to talk about the slang in a book for part of my essay, so I might quote some exmples of slang. Also, I might quote a few lines of dialouge here and there to emphasize a point.</p>
<p>Oh, right, you're doing "A Clockwork Orange." That should work out really well. I loved the language of that book. I recently read "Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathan Safran Foer and the language use in that book sort of reminded me of ACO. I love the background stories behind Burgess and Kubrick and "A Clockwork Orange" and the 'lost' final chapter. Basically I'm babbling now because I love that book, but great choice!</p>
<p>Thanx! :) I was worried, I have been trying to think of what I want to write about for a week. I think I'm talking about youth culture in the book, and thus you can see where the slang comes into play. It goes well with my issue essay, which is also about youth. Hopefully the theme will pay off ;).</p>
<p>I have the same seminar rankings as you, QuickLikeCat, but I really want foreign policy. Apartheid and Islam do not come close at all!</p>

<p>I still dont know what im going to do for the literary analysis. Im starting to doubt if im gonna finish the app in time or not ...</p>
<p>what exactly is a book report? it says that please don't make a bookreport or summary out of your literary analysis. i dont ever recall a teacher naming an english project a "book report" lol. they jsut want a bunch of analysis right?....</p>
<ol>
<li>reaching - subversion, islam</li>
</ol>
<p>daaaaang subversion is popular!!!</p>
<p>I'm only taking "Subverting other nations through foreign policy" as a stepping stone to my ultimate goal of world domination.</p>
<p>Quicklikecat--I am also madly in love with Everything Is Illuminated! (I liked A Clockwork Orange, too, but not to the same extent). The prose is just beautiful, it's sort of fragmented and put back together and ...yeah I'm rambling. But I love that book</p>
<p>For the book one, yeah, I'm pretty sure they just want literary analysis. Pyroman, why not try a poem? I was kind of overwhelmed by the thought of trying to analyze a whole novel, but poetry/short stories/essays seem to be a little less intimidating. IMHO, of course :)</p>
<p>I meant applying to instead of taking...sorry, typo.</p>
<p>Has anyone thought about analyzing an Onion article? I just think that would be pretty funny/interesting.</p>
