« on: October 08, 2009, 08:28:13 pm »

So there is this big three week project and the final draft is due tomorrow. Its a Lit Analysis paper 2 pages, on one of these three stories. I didn't do the rough draft and I dun feel like doing the final even thou its worth like 40 percent of this semesters grade but im failing hard anyway. Its 6:27pm and I am really not sure what to do. I am leaning into the direction of f%*^ it three day weekend starts tomorrow after school. So I dun know.  ::)

Bullshit like a madman, it's doable.  If you've read the material just write as fast as you can.  Unless you're absolutely positive that you're going to fail the course anyway, you may as well try.  Hell, it's only two pages.

If you decide to not turn in anything, you're an idiot. Do what Aqizzar said, take the paragraph or two of the actual writing you can probably think of and stretch it out with as much redundancy, bullshit, and long names you can come up with. Make up unnecessary analogies for everything in the story if you're really desperate.

You need to think.
Think very very carefully.
You need pain.
Slap your arm as hard as you possibly can.
Now slap the other arm as hard as you possibly can.

now run from that, but instead of running, write like a madman.
If you stop, use more pain.
godspeed.

The pain isn't to make some sort of cult-ritual.

its to enforce a diffrent state of mind, perhaps one more panicked, less relaxed, and less calm.

Typed or handwritten? If typed, that's about 800 words, you may get away with less if you have large handwriting and it is a handwritten paper. Either way, it's not actually that much work. Maybe an hour, hour and a half for the actual writing and another hour coming up with ideas. 40% of your mark is a lot to catch up for if you realise later on you need to pass this subject.

Believe me, deciding not to do it will NOT help in the long (or even short) run, and if you do a good enough job you might reverse your current position of 'failing hard'

If you waited this long to do anything, you probably deserve the F. Just saying.

Wait wait wait; 40% of your mark for a 2 page paper? Furthermore, 3 weeks?
...

I'm not sure what's so difficult about that, what have you been doing for the past 3 weeks? If you wrote a mere 100 words a day, you'd have it done by now. (Though I'm not really one to talk; I tend to wait until the day before they're due to do my assignments. There's a difference between middle-school assignments and high-school assignments, though...)

I mean, if you have to, look up a summary of the story on the internet, look at the characters, and just draw as many parallels to other works as possible. Find the time period it was written, look up popular books during that period, and write a paragraph or two on how it was 'obviously influenced by <insert writer>'.

I wrote a six page report on a story I didn't even read last year in two days, and I ended up with 93% on it. It's really just about your interpretation of the story; as long as it sounds believable, you can at the very least pass. Then again, your teacher may be looking for very specific things.

Anyways, two pages is only about an hour and a half of work, if you do it quickly.

Take Aqizzar's advice and run with the bullshit because really, taking that long for a tiny assignment is kinda sad.
