Final Thoughts on Cion

I am not sure which direction I am going in with the final paper in terms of whether I will defend or argue against Cion as the common reader selection. I have some good points for each side so I know whichever one I choose can be supported. If I defend it, I will talk about the fact that it talks about Ohio University, the Athens community, and its surroundings and background. This is beneficial for incoming freshmen because they have a chance to learn about more than just the university, but the region in which they are going off to school and its past. On the other hand, I thought Cion was an odd book and I did not really enjoy reading it. If I argued against Cion as the common reader, it will probably be stronger argument because of my personal take after reading the book and my dislike for the book. I'm not sure yet if I will focus on meta-fiction and magical realism and the movie Stranger Than Fiction. Also, what are the page requirements for our final paper?
