Essay is pretty much incomprehensible
When I was in college, I figured out the “essay formula.” Whatever the subject was, you stated that the subject showed how “man’s inhumanity to man transcends the class struggle.” Surround it with some other gibberish and cut and paste cake recipes if you want. The “magic words” were everything and guaranteed at least a B+ as the prof swooned over another student that “gets it.”
Meanwhile I was enjoying some beers with friends at Nick’s or the Bluebird and laughing about it.
This essay is about the same thing. It’s gibberish that sounds profound. Hey, all that matters is whether or not it works.
