position paper

The thesis statement of my position paper is "Heathcliff is the victim of social class prejudice in Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights". For me, I see Heathcliff as the victim because he has been discriminated because of his gypsy-looking appearance and his unrefined manner. Besides that, I believe that people look down on him because he is just an adopted child, the one having the lowest position in the Heights. And most of all, Heathcliff's love also has been rejected by Catherine. All of these discriminations upon him have made him a hard soul, whose heart and mind solely focus on taking revenge throughout his life.

Meeting with my supervisor…
My supervisor for research paper project is none other than lovely Dr. Noreen! I am delightful to have her as my supervisor as she is a very nice and helpful lecturer. Yesterday, my friends and I had met her for the first time regarding the research paper. She had shown us some examples of research papers of previous students under her supervision. She also asked us to always refer to her and that she promised to show us some other good examples of research papers. She also asked us to find interesting and refreshing issues to tackle on for this assignment.
For me, this will be a greater challenge than position paper I am working on. For this second assignment, I have to choose two different texts to compare and contrast with and derive a topic to deal with…What to do? I love Jane Austen’s novel…maybe I’ll deal with it…

POSITION PAPER

The due date to submit this position paper is not very far. Only about two weeks left and in order to do this assignment, I need to find points, supporting details and textual evidences to make it a complete position paper. At the moment, I had managed to search for four points and after the topic sentences for each points have been accepted, my job now is to look for textual evidences from the text. I have to read again the text in order to pick out appropriate textual evidences to be included in the paper.
I like this part of looking for evidences from the text as I have the opportunity to read and really delve into this novel again. Sometimes, I wondered if the points that I want to elaborate are out of the topic and when I said this dilemma of mine to my friends, they also confessed that they had the similar “disease of uncertainty” when dealing with this assignment. Hehe...Maybe this is what writers always face …writer’s block…My target is that I will be able to finish this assignment as soon as possible…maybe a day before the due date? Hehe…what a target…hehe
