Great Observation

Ethan's acknowledgment page turned into more of a reflection, which was great. He made a great observation that "trying to fit my original thesis with the one that was forming as I was doing the research did not work. I decided from the point on to let the paper determine the thesis and I think my paper is better for it."

I think the idea of allowing your paper (ideas) to determine the thesis is brilliant. I think that too many students try to push the paper to fit the thesis, rather than allowing the thesis to be flexible.
