Abstract

When I set out several months ago to write an honors thesis, I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do. I was going to craft a progression of essays examining myself, beginning with the most basic personal information, and slowly progressing, layer by layer, to the topics and issues which I hold deepest and closest to whatever may be considered my core. I was going to tell stories, express opinions, and in other diverse ways utilize the genre of personal essay as a means of self discovery. I hoped that the final product would in some way function almost as a written road map of my identity, guiding both me and my readers to a greater understanding of who I am.
