don't trash it. cut it apart. put it aside for a week, and come back to it. have a crack at it from a different angle--maybe dq's point of view? an imagined one, if not an actual one?

don't trrash it! the point CAN be made.

introduce specifics--from the text or otherwise--to make your point. do not rely on the reader's knowledge, nor on abstracts to make your point.

it's a good idea. stick with it.
