One Of The Things That Annoy Me The Most About The Public Education System Is That Everyone Demands A

One of the things that annoy me the most about the public education system is that everyone demands a paper but no one taught anyone how to write a paper. At a maximum, they might have mumbled something under their breath about accordions and being persuasive.

Here’s a quick and dirty about how to write a paper:

1. Get your topic down to one sentence and write an intro

Topic: AIDS is an economic issue.

Intro: AIDS first came on the scene as a sexually transmitted disease that only homosexuals and sexual deviants have as demonstrated by the reaction in the 1980s, however, it has been proven that AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease that affects all walks of life whether they are sexually active or not… … … 

Make sure to tie your topic into your intro.

2. Write down all of your points.

Prostitution for economic need spawns an environment of increased risk for sexually transmitted disease because it is more profitable to perform sex without protection.

The rate of AIDS is higher in impoverished Western communities and third world countries because of the availability of education and resources.

Stereotypes surrounding the disease and lack of proper sexual education create higher risk factors.

Point 4

point 5

3. Write down the point of your point. (Why is it in your paper?)

This is important because …

This ties into the argument because . .

Point A causes

Point B affects/ has the effect of

Point C represents

The point of this is …

4. Write down any sub-ideas into separate paragraphs but with the same  format as main paragraphs.

Sub-ideas are small branches off of your main idea, but are different enough to garner a paragraph of their own.

5. Find your quotes. If for some reason you can’t find a quote to support your point, write a new point.

Then explain the quote. Do not let the quote stand alone. There is no quote on the planet that stands alone. You must explain the importance of the quote with regard to the subject. I don’t care how great the quote is.

5. Write a conclusion by essentially summarizing, not all of your topic sentences, but all of your concluding sentences (point of your point).

—————————–

By the time you are done filling in all the spaces and resources and citations you have a nice, thick paper.

The way I eyeball it is I need 2 main paragraphs, not including intro and conclusion per page. So if it is a 5 page paper, I need 10 main ideas. If the paper goes over, then I can cut some thoughts here and there. It’s a wide gauge because it all depends on 1) how long your quotes and citations are 2) how succinct you are in making your point 3) what the professor/teacher actually asks for in the way of citation and opinion.

It all can be adjusted very easily because everything is in its own nice little compartment.

"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."

Not as planned

Something happened and they were not happy.. they were not feeling well.. and then a sudden unpleasant thing happened which made their brain do extra over thinking and plan out how to not get mad and burst out... everything planned out calmly.. almost like a prepared dialogue of a conversation... and then when they spoke.. BAM!!!! Events took a wrong turn and they put more wood to the fire... now they are feeling terribly sorry... They are waiting for the right time to fix things... will they manage? . . . END

Muslim Characteristics and the Purpose of the Hijab

Anonymous said: hi! i’m writing a story where the main character is a muslim teen girl, and it’s not like the /main/ focus of the story but since i’m not muslim myself i was wondering if you had any pointers on how to show that as a part of her life (beyond the hijab, which is something she chooses only to wear at home?) without being too blatant/forced or oppositely non-evident? thank you!

Hi there! Islam is a deeply intricate religion that is woven into a muslim’s everyday life, and there are definitely easy ways to sneak in indicators of a person’s religion. For example, muslims only eat meat that has been cut the halal way- your character could ask about that at a restaurant, or forgo the meat just to be safe. Muslims also pray five times a day (with the exception of the days some people are on their periods), so you could show her waking up at sunrise to pray Fajr. Honestly, there are a million and one ways to portray a muslim girl.

Also, while I might not know the complete context of your character’s situation, the purpose of a hijab is to shield a person from the gaze of male strangers. Homes are places where girls let their hair down and relax. A muslim only wearing a hijab at home contradicts the very importance of a hijab and could be really offensive to some readers. There are many muslim girls who don’t wear a hijab, so I suggest maybe going with that. There are also muslim girls who wear the hijab in certain areas (read: around traditional family members) to preserve social standing, but aren’t actually committed to the hijab.

I suggest you do more research on Islam if you want to convey your character realistically.

-Yasmin

I’d just like to add that I see quite a few writers taking the non-hijaabi route in order to avoid repercussions of possibly negative representation. I’d just like to stress that, if you feel that offering this representation is important, and you feel that you can do the research and continue to ask the questions to make it as good as you can, you should strive to do it.

Of course, we need non-hijaabi representation, but I do not think that should be the only option offered if a writer is nervous about approaching the hijaab.

Besides that note, I agree with Yasmin’s eloquent answer and the fact that a girl only wearing the hijaab at home is rather unusual and offensive. Good luck!
