This'll probably be the very last time this thread will ever be touched, but I wanted to update you guys on how I did one the paper.
I did very well-- I got an 87% My score got marked down because I didn't use any sources that weren't the book or Annie Proulx herself. Other than that, it was a nearly picture-perfect paper. I put it up on DA because for some odd reason, I felt compelled to share the paper with anyone who happened to stumble on my DA page.
If you're curious, it's over there. (Obviously I'm not including a link; besides, it'll stick out among all the Foster's Photoshop things.)
