Treatment: back to where I started with reading

I have this struggle.
As does, I think, the entire class

How can we write on something about awe
when the definition of awe is so unclear
and so skewed
and so personal ?

I look at other people's projects and think
how is that awe? how are you defining awe?

so with my treatment, I took a couple steps back with what I was thinking

I think my biggest problem was that I was equating reading to awe
and this was just a flat "here it is"
where I think it needs to hold a larger part as my argument
and that it will help give me some direction

So instead, I am stepping back and making it a larger part of my paper
and premise
working towards how I am defining awe

because I think that may help to fix my issues of feeling so lost




You can see my new working outline below or in this doc as the embedding is funky



What's next?

I think I need to tie down some connection between awe and reading
that will be going back to Longinus (great....)
pulling out definitions of awe that I can equate with reading
and the same pulling out definitions of reading that I can equate with awe

I also need to start getting peoples' thoughts on what reading is to them
so I can pull from those quotes as well

Possible Venue?

I talked with a friend at Women's Services that said they may be interested
The problem with going this direction is that it is a little too scholarly now I think
Dependent on what I do with my ending and how I draw it all together
that could skew if I could make it work and fit

I really want where ever this ends up for my portraits to go along with it
So I need to figure out how I can keep them tied
and figure out how I can "dumb" down the paper
and conclude it in a way that it works
because if I just define reading and awe then thats kinda boring
for someone looking to read something more interesting
(perhaps this need to go in the section above)
