Research Paper
I'm writing a research paper. Actually, right now, at this very moment, I'm not writing a research paper. That's mostly because I'm writing this blog post. I needed a break from Hasidic Judaism. I decided to do my World Religions paper on this very conservative Jewish group mostly because of Chaim Potok. Well, actually, because of three of his books. I have no idea how many times I've read his book,"Davita's Harp." It's one of my favourite books (yeah, I know...I say that about most every book I read). I just love how the storyline brings together so many diverse people and place and situations all in one book. "My Name is Asher Lev" and "The Gift of Asher Lev" are the other two Chaim Potok books that I've read numerous times. They're pretty great, too. Anyway, all three of these books are about Hasidic Jews. Ever since the first time I read "Davita's Harp" and the Asher Lev series, I've been extremely curious about this mystical Jewish division. And that's why I chose Hasidic Judaism for my research paper. My research is proving to be pretty interesting, but I'm not having the best of times writing the paper up. Probably because I've been switching back and forth between AP writing and creative writing all week and now my brain is stuck in those styles. It's resisting the research writing. I should end this and get that brain of mine back into the research-y mindset. Adios for now. Oh, and you should all read those three Chaim Potok books. They're pretty interesting.

Ever read "The Chosen"? That's one of my favorites. Good luck with the paper!
