I have to write a two-and-a-half page paper in five hours over a novel I didn't read...and I can't help but distract myself from it. I have no idea how I'm going to pull this off. I don't see any way how I can get myself out of it. I suppose it's not too costly for me to do terribly on it since I have an 89 in the course right now, and that's a dense grade. God speed.
Read some reviews on the book and then be over descriptive. I doubt teachers read every single paper? godspeed (I'm a dropout so wtf do I know)
read the first five sentences of each chapter, an arbitrary contiguous five in the middle, and five in the end. and then write to those, and bullshit the rest of the volume.
Well the last paper was 5 pages over a much harder book, and I didn't even read that. I BS-ed it by reading a summary online and including a lot of quotes I found on education websites. And I still got an 88 somehow. I'm a little concerned over this, but since I can fill most of the paper with quotes, I may just do that.
just say forget it and go to sleep...then dont show up to class and turn it in the next day..gives you a whole day to work on it.
i never had a poblem like this so i have no idea how to help you i never read a book in high school, i am really good at bullshitting and surprising as it may be to all of you forumers i'm really good at writing i'd read some reviews and cole notes type shit and make a bullshitted paper on that usually you can find some kind of paper on most shool require books online god speed
Any novel I didn't like I read half way through and then I read the ending. I usually pulled off the essay rather well. High School standards are so low. My final english exam (for which I had to do an essay) was a convoluted, contrived piece of shite, yet I got an A.
^^^ That's true. I had absolutely no confidence in my last paper, but somehow, he liked it. Hawthorne, Hawthorne, quotes, quotes......
I'm wondering if I should do that, too. I can't get out of class, but I'm tired as hell right now and I have shitloads of other things to do tonight. If I try this essay now, I won't be done until maybe 5, which means I'll have 2 hours of sleep, and that's not healthy. I may "lose" my essay in my papers and then e-mail it to him tomorrow afternoon.
I think I will do that. Assuming I get an 83 on it, turning it in late results in a 70. That bumps my average down only to an 85, and by the end of next week, with other projects, I'll have an 86.9. I think that is better than killing myself tonight only for a paper that would yield a full 70, which would force him to have me redo the essay.
I used to do that, and surprisingly got almost the highest marks in the class with pure BS about something I never read.
