The paper itself was written for a midterm, and I had the whole class day (about 5 hours) to write this paper. Since I was sick, I was quarantined in a room, sat down, and wrote it all in one go. It was an amazing experience for me to write a paper on one of my favorite creative works of all time. And I would love to come back to this paper and refine it further in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoy reading a fever-struck 18-year-old&#8217;s paper as much as she enjoyed writing it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite games\/books ever is I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison.
