| | Is opting out of curved grading freedom? Or, does freedom come from learning how to transcend grades and ranking? That could be a useful lesson. If law school is a test of the imagination, perhaps grades are part of the test. | |
> > | Your writing here is very
good. The bozos at the Wharton School basically learned what one can
do with Microbrain Excel. What they didn't learn about writing by
not reading 19th century English fiction and satire—along with the
efforts to master Shakespeare and Macaulay they were much too frightened
to make—you can see around you, here and elsewhere, anytime you look.
Substantively, I feel as though you've written the draft that
precedes the draft for the reader, the one that tells you how you
came to the idea that you and the reader can share. Unless the idea
is "Portrait of Sam as a Young Lawyer on the Edge," in which we see
the arrival of the split, but not the way you work to bring your two
selves into uneasy, dynamic, potentially fractious, unsparing and
loving communion.
Possessed as you are of the keys here, I think you are one draft away
from the even more important one, the "Portrait of Sam Becoming"
whose beauty will take even your breath away. Young Harry did you
great service in showing you Rule 3.1.2, but he did not show you how
to read it in both your selves, wise as serpents, mild as doves. | | | |
