well, why don't you ask yourself some questions (which are probably addressed in the book, right?)...\n\n1. how would you find out the things you need to know if you didn't have school? \n\n2. how did people in the past educate themselves, without school? \n\n3. how do people right now educate themselves without schools? \n\n4. for those who educate themselves without school, what stands in the way of their education "counting"? (Hint: isn't it about the so-called "gate-keepers"? the people who decide what is an adequate education and what isn't?)\n\n5. what would a good world without schools look like? (meaning a world where life was generally a good, happy, healthy place.)

Quite frankly, the best way to do this would be to get a book from somewhere like SparkNotes on the writing section of the SATs, read through a few, then find sample essay questions and write your own essays. Have a friend or a teacher look over it. Hell, I'll look over it for you if you want (my e-mail is humphrey09@gmail.com) but you can't study for it just by reading.

I truly hope you're not looking for an essay.  I'll help you break it down so it's easier to write.\n\n1st paragraph -- State your view.  Do you think it's a good idea?  Why?  Why not?\n\n2nd, 3rd, 4th paragraphs -- one paragraph for each of your reasons.  Make certain to use details to support them.  For example: "One reason why I think this is a bad idea is because kids do not know which teachers are good.(topic sentence)  Kids may pick teachers they think are easy graders or who do not give much homework. (details)"  \n\n5th paragraph -- urge the principal to consider your views, and restate them for clarity.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck.

Take a REALLY deep breath and start asking your questions ONE AT A TIME\n\nReading through your essay makes answering you a horribly daunting task.\n\nWe WILL help but you need to take the time to ask simple, clear questions - and not jumble everything together.\n\n"......i still cant seem to get stuff freed up. plus i cant run internet on it becasue we don't have a modem internet provider and i have to have the cd for the wireless card to hook up which i dont. plus i was wondering....."  \n\nEeeeeek!\n\n\n\n\n**update**  Uzzfluz, not all older PC's can drive XP I'm afraid, though I would be surprised if Windows 98se wouldn't be managable. He could even use his usb ports then too :)

take the essay that you are writing about piece by piece.  1st write about the first 1/3 of the essay(this is hard to help with though cause I don't know what the essay is about).....then the rest,  state some facts about the essay then if it requires opinion go into what you thing about it.  This is difficult to advise on but you should read some example essays in the future when you are under less pressure. There are lots on the Internet just go under "review essays" or "paper review" or something like that.  You're school should also have papers on file in the library.  Writing papers is going to be very important in the future so you need to hone your writing skills.

Obviously, no one on Yahoo Answers went along on your school field trip, so, no one here can give you any specifics for your article.\n\nSo far as format is concerned, think of a snappy-sounding "headline" for your story. Buy a newspaper or two today and look at the way the articles in a real newspaper are set up. It's pretty much like a regular essay - there's a beginning, a middle, and an end (but not a "conclusion"-sounding one).\n\nNewspaper articles always stress the five things all people want to know - the who, the what, the where, the how, and the why. If you can cover all five of those points, you'll be able to compose a good article.\n\nMake sure it is neatly typed, is spell-checked, and contains proper sentence structure. If there are quotes from anybody, make sure to include proper punctuation. And last, but not least, learn your lesson about putting off assignments till the last minute. This will backfire almost every time. Good luck!

<<SWITCH TO: AS MY 7th and 8th...Dr. Durst>>Dr. Durst, both my seventh and eighth grade english teacher, is, in my opinion <<WE KNOW IT'S YOUR OPINION>>, a hero in my life because he volunteers his time to teach my class what we need to know to succeed in high school and college. He also has a great personality,<INSERT PERIOD>> I don't know anyone who knows him and doesn't like him. He genuinely cares for his students. Additionally, he has written multiple books, a feat I'd admire anyone for. However, the biggest <<BIGGEST =POOR WORD CHOICE >>example that shows why he is a hero in my opinion <<WE KNOW IT'S YOUR OPINION>> is that he helped me realize that it is possible to enjoy writing <<YOU MEAN HE HELPED YOU ENJOY WRITING?>>\n\n\nGoing into seventh grade I hated writing, << insert: "for" here and get rid of the comma>>it was my least favorite part of school. I hated the thought of having to write an essay a <<each month>> month, but over the course of the school year, through <<change to: As a result of Dr. Durst's>> Dr. Durst's teaching, I learned how to do it, and <how to> do it well. I also lost <<lost = poor word choice>> most of my fear of letting other people read my writing because he never says anything mean about it, or anyone else's, he just tells you how you did well and where you can improve <RUN ON SENTENCE>. I gained <<change to: acquired a>>greater insight on <<into what...>>what writing is too; I learned that it is a way to communicate ideas, and therefore quite important. So, because <<so and because mean same thing>> of Dr. Durst's skillful teaching, I started to actually like writing things. To tell you the truth I am secretly happy whenever he assigns essays because writing had <<has become>>become a fun way to express myself. Thanks to Dr. Durst's wonderful instruction, <<comma not necessary>>I have learned how to unlock and enjoy the delightful feeling of being able to write something and be proud of it. I believe that if I had had a different teacher I would still despise writing to this day <<no need for "still" AND "to this day">>, so I regard Dr. Durst as a hero.\n\n\nThere are a few ways in which I want to be like Dr. Durst, although I want to be myself, exactly like no one else.<<Change to: "while i want to be myself, there are a few ways in which I want to be like Durst">> Dr. Durst is an author and I would like to be a journalist in the future, <Insert period>>since I now love writing, why not pursue a career which involves a lot of it? I also would like to show people that writing isn't as terrible a torture as they think and inspire them to enjoy writing. I want to have a likeable personality like him, too.<<Is this even relevant to your point???>> And <<awkward to start  sentence with "and" here>>, well, I would be flattered to be someone else's hero someday.

Haha,I just did an essay on it.....\nBut,it's wrong to claim someone else's essay as your own,so I can't write it for you.\nI can give you some pointers,though.\n\nWell,you can write on Tom Robinson(in general), write about Francis's and Aunt Alexandra's reaction to Atticus taking the case,about Cecil Jacob's fight with Scout.You can write about the fact that Negroes and whites sit in different places in the courtroom.\n\nThe whole book is practically all about racism,so it won't be hard AT ALL to find quotes and evidence.Good luck :)

I would probably write a book about education. I'd interview highly rated teachers (not Yale or such, teachers from K-12) and observe teaching methods, students' being taught, and what catches the students' attention. I would probably write one specifically for parents who homeschool, to let them know how to prepare for schooling and what works best in catching their attention while getting them to learn.

Wow. First you ask people for essay ideas, and now you want them to write the essay for you. Bravo. Bra-frickin-vo.

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.

I'm glad you asked. 1) While you read - you should be maintaining an outline of the facts on each chapter. 2) Make note of characters, characterization (little tidbits the author reveals, and the ones you find as you read) 3) Construct a story map and note how the story moves from the exposition-to the rising action-climax-falling action and then resolution. 4) Note what your thoughts are about each character, and how they relate.  After your review your outline, go back and read it. Now you should be able to draw an intro statement based on a number of things you have discovered about the storyline, characters, plot, theme, etc.  One or two items should stick out.  For example- if the protagonist (main character) is driving the story, then trace how he/she does that and how they effect the outcome.  A good summary to me is the student who evaluates many sides of the story from different perspectives. Make it brief, you don't want to reveal "all of the good stuff", but as the reader and writer - your outline should have more information so that if you need to return and do more essay writing, you have the facts with you. Good luck to you.  I love questions like these.  It challenges me as an English teacher.  You are welcome to email me directly if you have any further questions.

Like Atticus Finch, the father of Scout, the narrator and protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee’s father was a lawyer. Among Lee’s childhood friends was the future novelist and essayist Truman Capote, from whom she drew inspiration for the character Dill. \n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/page.php?link=http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/&book=411\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.
