You can't introduce your topic until you know it. Therefore, write the body first and the intro/conclusion last. I learned that in my advanced english class and it's actually a very helpful tip. Also, I can help edit your essay if you'd like. (email me at xx3DoorsDownFan@yahoo.com)

Hate to say this, but Americans suck at English and won't even know what a verb, participle, or preposition are!!!\n\nGive an example of what you are talking about - then maybe someone will know.

I find it best if you can try to open an essay with a question. Get the reader excited about what they are about to read. For example if you are discussing the civil war you ask " Can a nation torn at the seams ever reunite with peace?" Then in your intro. briefly discuss each point that you discuss in the next paragraphs. Then state your purpose, or your topic sentence. Staying with my example..."The United States survived a war that tore down the middle and through the heart using strength and vigilance" Your conclusion is just a re-statement of your topic sentence, or your purpose. So a good conclusion to my civil war paper might be " Despite the harsh feelings shared by the north and the south the United States fought to stay a country United. "\nDon't make it too hard on yourself yet. English is an incredibly difficult language. Putting emotion in your writing will come once you are more comfortable with english.

is it a writing class or an english class?\n\nif its english you probably want to stick with literature- compare two characters in the same book or two different books\n\nif its a writing class and the sky is the limit, then Id look at your interests- if you like animals, you could have a thesis around how having pets are beneficial to your health, if you are interested in history, you could have a thesis like "X event changed the world for the better/worse"\n\nPlay to your interests- if youre not interested in writing your paper, chances are your teacher wont be interested in reading it- it really makes a difference

Allybama you should be nice to yourself you got to college that means you are alot smarther than you think :) Most colleges use the MLA Formatting and Style Guide in regards to your question. \nIt would take too long to explain how to do it. The best thing I can offer is a website which you can read and then do what is says on your research paper.\nHere is the link: \n http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/\n\nGood luck i know you will be able to do it, and I hope you get a top mark on your research paper :)

Tips for Writing an Argumentative Paper\n\nDr. Dyson’s tips for writing the \nARGUMENTATIVE RESEARCH PAPER\n\n1) By definition, an argumentative paper must have a THESIS. Your goal is to persuade your reader of a particular interpretation, not to describe a subject textbook-style. Be sure that you know and make clear to your reader what your point is. \n2) Avoid colloquialisms and very long paragraphs unless you have some pressing need for them (laziness does not count). \n3) Do not use subject headings: this is an argument, not a textbook. \n4) Do not just plunk down quotations: discuss them. This is important. Though often difficult, analyzing texts is the heart of scholarship. In general, long quotations should not end a paragraph. \n5) Footnote clearly, making it obvious what is your original contribution and what is not. \n6) Include a title page at the beginning and a list of "Works Cited" at the end. \n7) Cite ancient works by parenthetical references within the text, not by footnotes: e.g., (Iliad 10.45-53), (Aen. 6.112-23), (Suet. Aug. 44). Most ancient poetic works have book and line numbers, while most ancient prose works are divided into numbered sections. DO NOT refer to ancient works by page number within the translation unless there is no other way (as when translators, irresponsibly, neglect to give line or section numbers). Be sure to list the translations you use in your "Works Cited." \n8) Number your pages, starting with the first page of the text (not the title page). The length requirement given means text + footnotes; the list of works cited should be numbered but does not count for length (e.g. it would be page 11 of a 10-page paper). Staple the pages once in the upper left-hand corner. Do NOT use a folder. \n9) Indent and single-space quotations longer than 4 lines. \n10) Master The Elements of Style, the best guide to writing English prose. (If nothing else, obey this command: "Do not join independent clauses by a comma." I HATE comma splices.) Treasure this gem from the Introduction: \nVigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.\n11) On bibliography: in general, \n- A few well-chosen sources are better than many ill-chosen ones. \n- Look first for things published recently and by major presses. \n- Journal articles are the life-blood of scholarship in many fields. Put in your interlibrary loan requests early (expect at least a 2-week delay). \n- Secondary literature should be used to stimulate your thinking and alert you to the issues other scholars have found important. The main focus should be your own analysis of primary evidence.\n12) Read the paper aloud once you have finished. Never write a sentence you would be ashamed to say. And remember, good writing is rewriting what you have already rewritten.\n\nClick this website for more information that might be helpful;\nhttp://home.att.net/~profmulder/ESSAY.htm\n\nTopics for Writing\n\nBioethics ethics in Life Sciences \nAssisted Suicide \nGenetic Research \nComputing Issues the social implications \nIntellectual Property & Piracy \nCybercrime and Privacy \nConstitutional Issues our rights under the Constitution \nGun Control \nThe Death Penalty \nSocial Concerns quality of life \nAnimal Rights\nGambling\nGay Marriages \nEducation Issues our public schools\n         Testing to Improve Educational Standards\n         School Choice - charter schools & vouchers\n         Intercollegiate Athletics and Ethics \n\nI got these suggestions from this website;\nhttp://www.gc.maricopa.edu/English/topicarg.html\nIf you go to this website you can click on the topic you like and get information about that
