/lit/ - Literature

>What I have been saying, condensed to one sentence. Thanks.

>>654623

2nd year english major here, /lit/ is full of them.

I can't agree with you more, I'd come to /lit/ for hw help any day of the week over "tutoring" if it was allowed.

>>654604

Relatively free of trolls, good content daily, All we need is an official board supported chart like /mu/ has.

>>654599

I have no problem helping with hw, but yeah, unspoken rule of /lit/= No hw help unless topic of thread offers it.

It's safe to assume his professor/any professor is going to want to see the thesis after the very first sentence of his paragraph, rather than at the very end of a good yet lengthy paragraph.

>>654584

No problem, just "dumb it down" and you'll be good.

>>654562

No offense (English writers need to easily accept criticism) but your paragraph is a bit of a snoozefest. Your professor wants to see your thesis in the BEGINNING AND END of the paragraph, then begins the fun part of supporting that.

>>654554

Moreover, everything in your intro can easily be in your 1st body paragraph. Good stuff nonetheless, but your professor wants to see that good descriptive wording/quotations later.

Intro paragraphs are supposed to be short, consise, and to the point. Thesis should be CLEAR and PRESENT. What are you trying to prove/what you are going to talk about.

You do a good job of showing and good word choice, but your professor is going to want to see your thesis CLEARLY.

>>654331

Or a Reader Response to Catcher in the rye that was very negative.

>>654226

Something about the difference between books with climax and books that try to pass off "character development" as climax (aka Catcher in the shit, etc.)

>Saying he isn't OP when I have a tripcode. I lawled.

But he brings up a good point.
