Ok, well I waited to post a topic until I got a little into the paper and had a firm sense of what I was doing and could do revising based on a response.
What I'm doing is discussing the idea of alienation in "Spinning Into Butter". I figure I can do this on several different levels within the story. For one, there is a sense of Sarah's alienation within herself. She feels alientated, at least at first, from her own feelings of prejudice since she tries to block them out. Then there is the sense of alienation from her coworkers, who all seem to have different motives and agendas. I will also explore the romantic alienation she feels in her love life and how the issues with Ross are affecting her, I feel, more than we are lead to believe in the story. I think that this sense of alienation is also prevalent in my own writings of the scenes, though I have not decided which one to use yet.
