Get This Ball Rolling

Rolling, rolling, rolling.

I have two working theses right now and can't decide which is better. I put down my ideas in a simple comparison outline (image shown) and then was able to organize them into the thesis I thought was the best fit. Here it is in my paper shell.

It's just a beginning, but sometimes the beginning is the hardest part. I am excited, actually, to work on this and post it because it is getting the ball rolling.

Really rolling.

I hope it starts to snowball soon, but right now I am not getting very much from the enthusiasts I've contacted. I've gone to Goodreads, blogs, and even had an online interview with a screenwriter/enthusiast which unfortunately was cut short. I suppose it will pick up again soon. I'll keep working at it. 

I guess the best thing to say here is that this quest is to be continued...

    Thanks for the help with the source. I have some from my paper on illustrations, too.

    Her article focuses on the animals in the story, but she provides a lot of insight into how the visual portrayal of characters affects readers.
    I am really intrigued by the comparisons you are making between The Princess Bride and Alice. We may have to continue this exchange of ideas since we are looking at similar topics.
