Student Tutor Exchange

I thought this conversation went pretty well, for the most part. The two clearly had some type of connection from the beginning. When the tutor starts to talk about the student's paper, he starts by complementing it and showing off the paper's good points. Then the tutor notices the thesis is somewhat unclear, so he asks the student about what he believes the paper is about. From here the tutor sort of gets an idea about what the paper is supposed to be about and tries to built on it, but the student seems to be unsure of how exactly to do that. The tutor points out some ideas that the student already has in his paper to support the thesis about manhood, but the student still seems to be a little resistant on how to approach the thesis. The one problem comes when the tutor starts to show signs about how he is taking over this student's paper. Especially when the tutor hints to the thesis as his own. At the end of the conversation the tutor tries to get the student to open up about the paper and to not be afraid to "risk it."
