But hey! I'm feeling pretty good about said paper, because although my prof's feedback is going to require me to read even more articles/books, the articles she suggested are really neat (one compares Canadian & American civil rights in emergencies and another suggests that sometimes the best thing for governments to do in emergencies is just be honest and admit they're tossing the Constitution out the window) and, more importantly, she ended with the following suggestion:
- you might even consider restricting your primary focus to the historical (Japanese internment and FLQ crisis) and then use them to tease out lessons for 9/11 - this way your 9/11 discussion does not become overwhelming.So... I should beef up the history parts, which I deeply love and could write a short novel about, and which I've pretty much already written, and wave a hand at the almost entirely red-font "this is where I'll analyse the present government's reaction to 9/11, god help me" and turn it into a bouquet of rhetorical questions and "Reader Will Connect Dots Here"?
Done!
So yeah. Feeling pretty chipper.
