i think the day i became an english major was the day i started thinking 'there is no way to give a proper examination of any theme in a good quality text in an essay under fifteen pages'
I excelled in doing quick 3 page essays
Pretty much everyday
Occassionally two or three a day
I gained the ire of my entire English class when it was revealed that I wrote every essay that was under 1500 words the night before and still got better marks than them

e: Killjoy are you doing IB
No I decided to go into a math/science thing instead, but we have a cool English teacher that makes us do hard stuff.

IB= International Bacceauleareate
pain in the ass high school education option
so.. what, four, five pages?
if that yeah
comparative essay between two themes or elements in the set texts
I did religion in Madame Bovary and Zorba the Greek
by the way fuck Zorba the Greek
I don't mind long essays the point I was making is that so far I've only written comparatively short ones
e: god damn, that's a shit sentence
Pretty much everyday

I guess, yeah. Like G. Wilson Knight and stuff.
tYaya: I just want to see if any of my conclusions are reflected in scholarly publications and find better stuff to quote in my essay due Friday.
I wouldn't fuss about quoting outside sources unless you're specifically told to
but check out Harold Bloom's stuff
I am specifically told to. Harold Bloom is good from what little I've read.
do you have a reference library near you
if so pick three books at random and photocopy the Othello sections
there'll always be some good stuff in there
on that note fuck any essay that forces you to use outside sources to back up your points
fine fuck any English essay etc etc
actually before I judge Killjoy what's the topic
I'm not really
I just don't think any English essay should require outside sources as evidence
those outside sources are doing the same thing you're doing they just get paid for it
I went four years and I never cited outside sources for an English essay
That shit's for chumps

Good luck in university.
Is Prion Proteins the name of a book?
Otherwise why would you have to write an English essay for it?

"Prion" specifies what kind of protein.
I'm not a fucking retard guys I know you need to source every other subject
but I specifically corrected myself by saying English multiple times
goddammit
This was for one of my Medicine units.
e: actually I take it back that was mean
but seriously I said English Essay like three times and we were talking about English essays the entire time so
blah blah blaaaah
Get a useful degree, fag.
You mean a degree where you learn to read things carefully?

If you aren't citing outside sources, I guarantee you're plagiarizing something.
you're good people
hahaha
Also, I was just trying to make it clear to YaYa, regardless of topic/course, you have to cite, cite, cite.
