Essay Topic

I think I will write my essay on What You Pawn I Will Redeem. The essay was, for me, a rather interesting one that kept my attention for a long time. I can't say exactly what I will write about it, but I do know that I will probably end up analyzing the main character as well as his life. The story comes with a huge theme of redemption, so I will also write on that as well. I think, in the end, I will end up tying the story to my own life. Not in the sense that I'm a homeless drunk, but more in the sense that I often do things to try and connect with my heritage. This theme is what drew me to the story in the first place, as I can identify with the main character. Also - the humor he uses is something I have done from time to time to make my own pain seem less. I think this indentification with the main character allows me to connect with him more and will make my final essay a lot more compelling than if I were to do it on something else.
