Here is another perspective in writing an argumentative paper. I will assume that you have a strong thesis, which means you have a number of good reasons why you believe your thesis to be true. If you don’t have good reasons, I suggest you get a new topic. This is the most important part of an argumentative essay. That said, all great argumentative papers know their audience. The better you know your audience, the more persuasive your...

What the teacher means by this is that you need to answer the study questions in the form of an essay. This means that you must not answer the question by using an outline or bullet points or any other form. The essay, in many ways, is a preferred method of study for three reasons. First by constructing an essay, one is forced to think about the issue in a critical way. By this fact alone, a person will learn the material well. Second,...

I suppose my first question for you would be: "Is there a reason why you have to use a flowchart to organize your writing?" Unless you have to for some reason, I would consider another organizational tool. Flowcharts are generally used to demonstrate a process. They show the steps that are taken to achieve a goal, or (like a "Choose Your Own Adventure Story") they show the result of different choices that could be made. Based on your...

Writing an essay isn't as hard as you think as long as you are organized before you start. Hopefully I can give you a few ideas on how to get started: First, you need to think of a topic that matches the type of writing you have been assigned to do. In this case, it would appear that you have been instructed to write an "argumentative" style paper that involves some research, so your first step would be to think of an issue or topic that...

I think that there are a variety of ways one could go on this. It depends on what you believe and what you think you can justify. If you wanted to select objects, think about objects that would represent a great deal about both you and your culture. Maybe an iPod or an mp3 player, or even a cell phone could constitute as items that would be able to give a future generation a very good idea about who you were and the objects that your...

I think this sort of essay, if it's going to be any good, will have to come from your own reflection on your values and on the time in which you live. What three physical things would you say most deserve inclusion in the time capsule? These items will be preserved for 20 years and, when revealed, will ideally cause people to reflect back on their own lives from that earlier period. I'm just past the time when I would have had a 20th-year high...

This might be better as a discussion question, especially because most of us answering questions on here are a bit long in the tooth and therefore not necessarily in touch with what you guys feel is important. But in my view (from having observed high school students) I'd put the following in: 1. Cell phone. These things seem to be pretty central to the lives of a lot of teens. 20 years from now it might be interesting to see what features...

To write an essay on all three of these works is, indeed, challenging as there is much to analyze. For a single essay, you will need to narrow your topic to one element that ties all three together. Perhaps you may wish to analyze the psychological aspect of each character's reaction to his condition. (You have mentioned plot and theme as well as character, but as you know, character contributes to all other narrative elements.) Since...
