Abstract

I began my quest to graduate with University Honors during my freshman year at Brigham Young University. I was encouraged by friends, family, and professors, and I loved the challenge of the Honors Courses and the cultural exploration stimulated by the Great Works requirements. But like nearly every student involved in BYU’s Honors Program, the thesis looming as the last hurdle before graduation was a daunting and baffling task. I wanted to write a thesis that would do more than check off a final requirement and sit on a special shelf in the Harold B. Lee Library, honor though that is.
