>Believing a generalization can be used as a valid argument makes you an idiot

Isn't this itself a generalization?

/lit/'s feelings on ebook piracy?

so i've been charged with a quest: write a five paragraph theme argumentative essay about poe's "the raven."

i can't deal. i am shit at this argumentative essay crap. i need to... say something about the theme, so i've gathered. and it needs to be argumentative, so it needs to be something that folks can (at least in theory) disagree on, or something...

but what the fuck am i supposed to be doing? i mean, yeah, i get the poem, but this "what is the really really for real DEEP meaning and shit" type shit is what gets me.

i'm not asking for anyone to do my homework, i just wondered if one of you literary minded folks might be able to at least get my brain working in the proper gear of "academic wankery."
