i can't help you with the text itself, as i haven't read A Tale of Two Cities in about 12 years, but i will try to guide your writing.  For one, you only have a two sentences and the first one is a very long run-on.  Give a few examples of what the body of your essay will be about to set yourself up for the next paragraph.  Also, in many situations a teacher does not want you to rewrite their question word for word in your essay. They would rather have you answer the question with good information that would let the reader know what is being asked of you without you having to tell them.\n\nMay not be exactly but you were looking for, but i hope this helps.

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.

A college professor once gave me this advice about writing papers:  Tell them what you're going to say (intro.), tell them (body), then summarize what you just told them (conclusion)."  I hope that helps!

Friend - Its been so long since I have read Our Town or saw the play and it is a classic without a doubt.  I do not recall the 12th birthday so maybe just some ideas.  How about comparing and contrasting it to your own 12th birthday.  Write about the differences in a 12th birthday in their time and space as to today.  What expectations are different, etc.  \n\nListen, if you have it started, its not hard to fluff it out to make your page limit, just do not introduce new information not covered in your opening and expand on what is.\n\nGBY

I recently gave this as an assignment to my class.  Humorous or embarrasing personal events are always a good choice.  You will have to include plenty of detail starting with the time you woke up till the event, but you can make it up if you can't remember.  Details are key! Don't leave anything out and add a lot of adjectives and adverbs to your story.

The first thing you have to do is to make an outline, then start writing on each point, adding support sentences to your topic.\nAny essay begins with an introductory paragraph, at least two body paragraphs and a conclusion. Another thing if you does not have enough information about the topic do some research could be in interesting for this topic it would be int resting to know the point of view of a few people different ages I suggest

First did you look up your statues? Then get your resources from books, articles, off line, etc. read every one of them carefully. You should have at least 5 good resources to quote from, then at the end of the paper you should put in your own words what you think about it. If I had more information on this particular paper I could help you write it. I had to write something similar in one of my college classes.

About eight hours if I'm short on time.  Four hours if I've already been thinking about what I'm going to say.  I like to give myself at least three days to a week to write any paper.  It's best if you can work on it, let it set for a while, and then come back to it.  If it's due tomorrow, the best thing to do is work on it all night.  Coffee does wonders.  If you get restless, go outside and take a five min run, come back and keep her diggin!  Good luck!  I'm cramming for exams right now, so if you're writing under pressure right now, I know how you feel!  Hang in there!

Master the standard format for "the five paragraph essay."  Know it backwards and forwards and stick to the formula.  Clearly expressed thoughts, coherently presented and purposeful  is more important than tossing in hastily acquired vocabulary.  When given a topic choice, go for the one with which you are most familiar.  Check this link and good luck.  And, read, read, read. If you can enlist help, ask somebody to read your practice essays who can be critical and honest.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/index.html

Just find a good way to summarize your essay. You could try several things, but my main strategy would be to stress the importance of the thesis statement of the essay in the first line, and then elaborate on it with all possible points summarized.. each of which should have been stated in the body of the essay.

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

How about doing one on how to use Yahoo answers?  The outline is already laid out for you.  Just copy the categories and start from there.

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)
