between writing an essay and writing for yourself is that, when you write for yourself, you have an argument and a series of thoughts that are important to you, that you want to set down, all layed out. With an essay, you have to laboriously extract thoughts from the text, and once you've got them, you're not always entirely pleased with them, but you have to set them down anyway.
That is the way of the world.
Of course, with some essays it's different. Some essays are important to you. So I guess I should specify and say comparative literature essays.
sigh.
Tally ho!!!

yeah, it's hard to use capslock in the outlines of (school)essays. (one of the many reasons why they are less awesome than your own writing.)
