Current freakout topic is how my entire first body paragraph of a no-more-than-five-pages paper is pure summary of a story only seven pages long.
Welcome to my world last semester, and to some extent, this past semester. My 20-page paper kind of had to have summaries, though, because if it were a "real" paper (in the sense of getting it published), discussing the myths in the book would require some sort of recap. My first advisor was constantly on my case over plot summary, though, and I still get paranoid about it.
