If you use absurdity as a basis for your paper, you may well succeed, as long as illogic is consistent throughout your text.

This could be a winner. One of my college professors once challenged us to write an illogical paper. Not that easy to achieve.

BTW, if you're going to cite Henry David as a source for your paper, I challenge you to actually read his book "Walden" from cover to cover. My wife and I have been reading it to each other at night for about six months now, and we're almost at the halfway point. There's only so much Thoreau one can take!

Just sayin'.............

I purchased a 986 because I wished to drive deliberately, to front only the essential facts of driving, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not truly driven.

Keep working on Thoreau. The connection is there.
