The Doctor and The Doctor's Wife

In the tutoring session, the tutor seemed to be trying really hard to help the writer find a thesis. The one that the tutor came up with is a good one, in my opinion, but I don't know necessarily if the student agrees. The tutor got really into the topic, but the writer was quite stand-offish and sounded as though he had already thought of the idea and had decided to back away from it. I think the tutor had a good idea, but if the writer doesn't agree then the two should find some common ground. The tutor also used "I" and "my" a lot in discussing the thesis or paper, and it probably made the student feel as thought the tutor was taking over too much. The tutor's job is to help the writer along, not take over the work. In turn, however, the student should have spoken up more and taken a stand for the paper if he or she didn't like where the session was going.
