My paper topic:

While rereading Pale Fire, I was struck with an interesting and funny paper topic. I would like to take the first canto of Shade's poem, and write my own commentary! I will do exactly as Kinbote does, taking his beautiful poem and destroying it by connecting it to my own life! I will tell stories that I am reminded of by each line, and use Kinbote's commentary whenever necessary. I'm not sure if this topic is Sexson-approved, I will have to ask, but I think it'd be something fun and interesting to write about in my very last Sexson class in college.
