The only thing good about New York state would be New York City. You could also talk about Colleges in NY, like Syracuse and NYU.

There are so many ideas for that - I would suggest something that you have an interest in which could range from government involvement in the record industry to agricultural legislation.  Enjoy!!!

New York simply because of New York City.  There's so much culture.  Broadway is my favorite "tourist attraction" in NYC, but there's so much more.  Celebrity talk shows, TV shows, comedy clubs, museums, the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Wall Street, Times Square, Central Park, Little Italy, Chinatown, Greenwich Village, Columbia, shopping, bars, etc.  There really is something for everyone!

I'm not sure. Every state has something special about them. I guess they're not many states that have a little of everything. I'd probably say Wisconsin.

i wrote one about america, but it isn't so patriotic.  it's more about our society's flaws, and how we've forgotten where we came from.  it isn't "america bashing", but it does make one think.\n\ni should write something patriotic.  i am proud to be an american, and am so blessed to have been born here rather than elsewhere.  thanks for the encouragement.

I like onewhitewhiskar's answer.  She has given you some good ideas.\n\nI would suggest you keep it simple.  Sometimes if you try to make it too convoluted or put too much in there, the writing just doesn't work.  Unless you are really good at making up stuff, don't try to get into complicated plots and stories.  Write about what you know.  Write as if you are telling a story.  Think aobut how you would tell it to someone, and then write it down that way.  \n\nOk, now stop and think for a minute.  Think about some of the most interesting or funny or different things that have happened to you.  Have you gone on a special trip?  Have you visited an interesting place?  Do you have a pet that does really funny stuff?  How about your neighborhood?  Are there odd characters?  Have you been on a boat trip?  Did your grandparents do something speical or different?  Have they ever talked to you about how things were when they were your age?  What's your favorite thing to do - do you have a special hobby you can write about?  Is there  something you know a lot about that others might be interested in? \n\nYou see, people can write well about things that are very familiar to them.  I will give you a few "starter" sentences to think about, but make up one of your own if none of these work for you.\n\n"As I walked home from school last week I saw the strangest thing around the corner from my house."  \n\n"Last summer I visited ...."\n\n"Have you ever watched .... bees at their hive .... or salmom in a stream .... puppies playing .... shooting stars ... waves on the beach ..... sailboats .... the sidewalk market on Saturday .... your brother's baseball game .... someone making dinner .... fourth of July fireworks ..."\n\n"I'm really looking forward to ...."\n\n"My best friend is .... "\n\n"The most fun I ever had was when ....."\n\n"Yesterday my dog .... "\n\nSome final thoughts ... jot down some thoughts and ideas about your topic first.  Do an INternet search to see if you get some more ideas about your topic.   \nI hope this helps you think about what you might do for your writing project.

don't do abortion or death penalty or legalization of drugs..those are totally overdone...try to find something that you really care about; that way it will be easier to write since you don't have to "fake it"...also, it doesn't have to be a big thing; it can be something local (i.e. cleaning up a local park or getting a particular teacher fired)...think about the things that matter most to you and write about that...good luck!

How about...the history of small countries in Southeast Asia?  Or the pleasures of bicycling?  The Punic Wars?  Canadians' ideas about the US?  Life in Japan?  Unique wildlife of Australia?  Modern-day piracy in the Straits of Malacca?\nThat's all I can think of in 1 1/2 minutes.

easy—california\n\nsay what you want about it, but there's something for everyone. if you want sunny weather, you got it. if you like skiing and the outdoors, go to the sierra nevadas. There are big cities, small towns, the ocean, forests. Too liberal? not so, we have a republican governor, and there are some intensely conservative areas.\n\nnew york is fine, but no one ever stays who's not from there. people come to california and fall in love.
