Dr.

Johnston,

Sorry I didn’t tell you I was changing my research paper thesis.

The relationship of Freud’s psychaonalysis to surrealism just isn’t as
strong as I thought it was, so I’m not doing that anymore. It is
overdone anyway and I wouldn’t really be adding anything to it. So I
decided to do my paper on postmodernism because I have found it to
be more intriguing than my previous thesis. My new thesis will be that
postmodernism is not a break from modernism but rather a reflection
on it as to maintain its ideals of philosophical thought. I’ll discuss this
in relation to Lyotard’s “What is Postmodernism” and “The Differend”
and draw from sources reflecting on postmodern as a defense and
reassessment of modernism.

Sincerely,

Brayden Benham
