The essay is finally on paper, although rather skeletal. The opinions supporting the group's thesis have been put into words, although roughly. Some new paragraphs were added today, many posessing a more abstract relationship to the thesis, including a paragraph on the necessity of leaders as a focus of the power of a collective. Tomorrow will be dedicated to revising the essay in terms of style. At the moment, it is convincing, however it is not particulary captivating. As of yet, the group is uncertain as to how this can be acheived.
The cartoon has also been drawn. It includes a portrait of Yertle with Gyanendra's head peice, perched atop a stack of turtles. Their backs read peace, prosperity and eqaulity, all aspects of Nepalese society oppressed duing Gyanendra's short reign. The last King of Nepal's famous quote, "I will not be a silent King," is also included. This bring in a touch of irony, as it is commemorative portrait, and so clearly, he has been silence.
The other aspect of the cartoon includes Prachanda, wearing his decorative necklaces as Mack, striving for Yertle's rock. He is chained to the other turtles, dragging them behind him. This shows two things, that Prachanda is bound by the promises he made to arrive in power and that the other turtles are no more free than they were under Yertle. Rather than being stood on, they are simply chained.
