Make What You Want Of It

Remember, we're not encouraging you to shout about a battle royale between Kanye West and Taylor Swift, though the stakes would be rather high. Rather start with how you interpret Ashbery's words and trust those interpretations. Then back up those great ideas with the words themselves and your explanations of them. Chances are you'll have a sound argument on your hands, but not too sound, since there's a lot of elbow room in any thesis involving Ashbery. Up for even more challenges? Check out "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" or "My Philosophy of Life."
