Discussing Cohn and Spivak

This essay is a funny one. I remember it being the first time I was exposed to the dense, academic writings of post-colonial thought. I had no idea what I was trying to read in the darkness of my dorm room. And I think my cluelessness shows within the paper. It serves, also, as an example of how someone can move beyond their initial incompetence in a subject. Everyone starts somewhere. So don't be afraid to write something silly; it will be funny to look back upon it after a few years fly by.
