Sorry that this is a really, really rough draft. My ending is pretty sudden because I ran out of time, and decided to put in a paragraph of my kind of overall thought/idea as my conclusion but just know that I plan on fixing that. Any type of help, especially with ideas and organization would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
This is a pretty straightforward reading of Down & Out, and that’s good, because straightforward is usually on target. It makes sense and good use of Marx. You could develop the idea of “what money really represented” more.
I think you did a good job on analyzing the role of Whuffie, but to me it seems a little like Marx and Smith were thrown in as a sort of side note. Maybe if you could include them more, or just put a bit more focus on one.
I feel like you have a lot of very useful information in your essay and it’s very well put together, I’m not sure if it was just me, but I felt like sometimes you focused too much on the society as a whole versus Julius specifically.
By the way, My rough draft is posted. Hopefully you have time to take a look at it before the conference. Sorry for the delay.
