    I just finished writing a looooong paper on same-sex marriages. 2,654 words. I don't want to post it here for the public to see, because I don't want anyone to steal my work (not that I don't trust any of you, I'm just very cautious).

    However, if any of you are interested in reading it, PM me, and I'll email it to you.

    It's for my English final. My teacher told us to write a paper that's 9 to 11 pages on any contemporary issue, and I chose same-sex marriage. It's due tomorrow. I have no idea why she would assign us something so long though. She has to correct them all by Friday!

    I have had to write quite a number of lengthy papers in my education. It doesn't change in college. Actually, I think it gets worse in college.

    You do an excellent job writing your thoughts - both from an "English teacher" standpoint and from an interesting standpoint.

    Thanks for sharing.

    That's EXCEPTIONALLY long for a high school paper--many university papers aren't even that long.

    They wouldn't let you write on that?! Brutal. My Catholic highschool did. Often. (Even though the presentations sometimes made classmates and teachers alike squirm). Alot of people are against gay marriage. Sigh.

    I've read one book on it. I think it was the best book I have ever read.


    It is from a series of books. All on different popular issues. Gay Marriage and Smoking are the two I found.


    It takes BRILLIANT people... ok maybe not brilliant but highly educated people and one writes and the other writes opposing it.

    They are called Opposing Viewpoints. (The series that is.)


    I love reading books like that because I like to form my own opinion. It is damn near impossible to find a non bias book. Especially on that topic and others I would like to read about. This way you can read it and yeah the sides are going to be bias but they can't LIE on their side because the other would know. Everything they say has to backed up with proof. Unless of course it is opinion.

    I wrote a 15 page (3,300 word) analytical essay for Visual Communication (analysing 3 separate pieces of Graphic Design) 3 weeks ago, for my Year 12 studies. Although, my teacher didn't actually specify 15 pages - that's just how many pages it took to fulfil all the criteria. I suppose teachers just expect more from their students these days.

    That being said: I'd love to read your paper Amp, I'll PM you for it :slight_smile:

    ugh i just finished last week my 30 page research paper about truman capote. It was really interesting to write actually because i had a whole section about gay rights and its influences on his writing..i doubt anyone wants to read that much, but id like to read your essay it sounds interesting!

    30 pages? That must have taken forever! That's so ridiculous.

    If you want to read, just send me a PM with your email address and I'd be happy to send it. :slight_smile:
