Histographical essay: needs to be 8-10 pages, focused, about European history in the 17th-19th centuries. I want to write about something to do with the philosophers of that time (Hume, Kant, Locke) but am having a hard time narrowing it down to just one focused subject. Thanks for your help!

I would definately do David Hume. There is a great debate between scholars as to whether his writings depicted skepticism or naturalism. There is definately plenty of information to support either side. Not only are there his writings, but also the history of the time that would have 1) influenced his writing, and 2) affected the way people interpereted his writing. GOOD LUCK!

There are several.  The main theme is the struggle between freedom and slavery.  \n\nThese links should help.  Good luck with your project.

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

how about concentrating on stories of the 'little people'.  ordinary, everyday folk who aren't famous or infamous, just folk doing what they know to do.  like a teacher, a baker, a grandmother, a street sweeper?   try to find beauty in the ordinaryness of life and tie it in with a faint reference to new york.  write your paper so that it is up to the reader to decide the 'value' of the life or dynamics of the person / place interface.  i think too many people are obsessed with ideas about ' dark', 'funniest', 'best', 'worst', . . . it is boring and meaningless.

It will help to organize your essay and ensure you answer all parts of the question if you divide your paragraphs like the question.  You could have a paragraph about Mulan and Chinese History (writing about the Huns, emperors, methods of fighting, etc.), Mulan and Chinese Beliefs (beliefs about their ancestors, family roles, etc.), and Mulan and Chinese Culture (the tea with dinner, the house of the ancestors, the statues in the garden, the way Mulan is expected to act, etc.).  Because many of the categories overlap (ie. History/Culture and Culture/Beliefs) it will be easier to connect the ideas of your paragraphs.  Good Luck and I hope that helps!

Google it.\nDon't ask us to do your basic research.\nAnd ditto that if you're writing an essay, you should know this. If you have a text book, read it.

Is this a big essay? if it is, Talk to your professor to try to extend deadline...at least for you. as for the essay, try asking your library, ask them for any sources that will help you in that area, and also your history professor as well your English professor.

You would need to summarize the points that you made regarding their art, history, religion and culture.\n\nYou did make some comparisons to other cultures of the same time period, and current cultures, right?  Or what influence these all had on their people and society?\n\nThus your conclusion should flow from these comparisons and/or influence summaries.\n\nGood luck!

Awesome essay! You have very poetic writing. The essay had barely any errors, but there are just a couple small things I would change:\n\nMakes sure you underline A Tale of Two Cities. I know you can't do that in Answers, but just in case you didn't know.\nIn the first sentence, the colon should be a comma. In the second paragraph (first sentence) conveys shouldn't be capitalized, and in the last sentence, "thing" should be "things." Also, the second sentance isn't complete. I would probably rephrase the first sentence of the last paragraph, "This section in chapter five describes the miserable condition of the peasants in Paris, France during the 1800's, and the Jokers graffiti foreshadows the war that is soon to come." There's also a period missing at the end.\n\nOther than that, it was very, very good and you should be very, very proud. Nice vocabulary, by the way.

I was taught to write the best argument then least important after and then at the end summarize again your main argument. You want the reader to think that your points are interesting, the arguments that are not so important I would just stick to the basic points I would not go into useless detail about them (main points).\nbut it can also depend on who is marking your work and what that teacher likes, ask them if you can.

How about an interactive timeline? \n\nFor example, on posterboard, have a timeline. \n\nIllustrate on the time line each significant event, and then cover it up with a flippable piece of coloured cardboard. \n\nOn top of that cardboard, write an interesting fact related to that event.\n\nHere's some information on Buddhism.\n\nhttp://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/index.htm\n\nIf you want quick sketches to help you along, email me @ mulldacity@yahoo.com.

Well, I think if you are doing a paper you should look at the following:\n\n1/ The evolution of man marks the begininngs of art & music...many historians believe that as man's brain power evolved so did his interest in the aesthtic world around him. \n\n2/  Early forms of art & music - early art is usually described as primitive because the technique is simple and the subject matter related to daily life e.g. in caves in North America, drawings usually represent a hunting scene etc. The mediums and tools for art & music were also very simple...\n\n3/ Role of art & music - celebrate religious events, as a form of story telling, record keeping etc\n\nI think you have enough to start thinking of how to approach this topic. Good luck!

I wouldn't normally do this, but it's a complicated question with no easy answer. It's a basic combination of a devolpment of already existing philosphy and personal experience. I'd suggest reading the following Wikipedia entries, and going from there:\nThomas Paine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine\nJohn Locke: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke\n\nThe question brings up a complicated debate about the Enlightenment and the American War of Indepedence, intertwined with philosphy, sociology and history. How much information you need depends on what level you're currently studying at. The articles above are a good starting point for any investigation.

Well, if it's going to be double-spaced, front page only, with a title page and bibliography, it shouldn't be so intimidating. Find your topic, write a thesis, support it with three examples to back your thesis and close it. Voila!\n\nI have a great topic idea. It has all the characteristics you're looking for. Have you ever heard of a man named Esaru Emoto? He's an Japanese scientist who has taken photographs and done lots of studies of the different ways stimuli affect water molecules. Basically, his premise is this:  human beings are mostly water, our emotions and thought processes can actually transform the structure of the water molecules in our body. Put very simply, if you think negatively, the water molecules in your body (and those of the people around you even), will become jaded and jagged and irregular. Likewise, positive thoughts leave molecules smooth and beautiful, and void of jagged edges. His research seems to confirm the age-old saying "mind over matter." Just a thought. Kudos.
