You're not very persuasive in telling us why we should help you.
I have an Idea!
Do your own God Damn paper!
I think you should do a paper on Walt Whitman instead. Kinda like this:

Pick three or so important films and go from there. The first step is to pin down exactly how you are using the word "important." Do you mean classics, morality plays, popular successes, or something else?
You're not being very helpful, Nick.
I'm going to PM you all my homework from now on.Quote:

I think you may want to start off writing about what virtues or charecteristics that are missing in teh youth of today. Then you would go on to write about what the movies would do to enlighten the viewer.
Also remember to connect each supporting thought and idea to your main one. I only say this because it is easily forgotten sometimes; and is the staple of a good paper. Forgive me if this has been stapled into your brain too many times already.
Im pretty sure I did.Quote:

Just make sure to prove your point clearly with good citations. Even if he/she says, I need only 3 citations, load that shizz up. And get credible sources for your information, i.e. books, respected journals, theses, etc...not random internet B.S. (like this board ;))
It's really not hard as long as you give yourself a narrow path to work on and really believe in your argument so you can prove it to others.
Very good points here. Citations are kind of like filler, but they help you to focus your paper and give credability to what you are saying. Its a nice way to bulk up your paper without writing the same word over and over again, or putting large pictures in between paragraphs. :lol:Quote:
