The Sis

So, I'm attempting to write a Master's Thesis this semester for school. Needless to say, I'm a bit frightened. It's a big undertaking, and I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I've written things in the past, and I'll write things in the future.

So I was thinking about the word. Thesis...if you break it down. It is literally the sis. So, it is like your little sister. Except, she's an infant and has been dropped off on your doorstep and you are left to care for her by yourself. And you are forced to breast feed, even though you are a man.

On the Reading list:

I, Rigoberta Menchu: a telling story of a Guatamalan Maya Woman who is left to represent herself in a society and through a language that is not her own. Hopefully it will be helpful to me.
