>>18059893
Who cares what /a/ thinks holy shot

Nigga it's easy, go get your sources and walk outside, talk to yourself and draft up ideas for the essay's body paragraph topics and thesis. Find accordant sources and rifle through their contents until you find quotes that resonate with/add to/strengthen what you're writing.

Mind if I ask what the topic is supposed to be about? I can help.

>>18059824
LOL 500 words HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT

>>18059951

Sure, it would have taken an hour at most, but starting the damn thing is unbelievably hard if you are an unmedicated ADHD retard.

just start it with a corny joke or something

Lol, you are either a fucking braindead retard or this is bait. High schoolers have to write larger essays. stfu and get to work

>>18060201
>High schoolers
not the case for american high schools. they ask for 250 word essays unless its an ap class where they ask you to write slightly more than that

>>18060220
bruh. In Australia it's minimum 1500 generally max around 3000. Average expected is 2000. Are Americans genuinely retarded? Is it the niggers?

>mfw have 3 Planck units until my 200k story is due in my creative writing class
>haven’t even come up with a basic plot
I wouldn’t worry about it just yet...

>>18060220
That's fucking pitiful...
>>18060242
Yeah, that's about the same as it was in Canada

>>18060220
Your either from Mississippi or your talking out your ass.

>>18060242
>>18060259
>Are Americans genuinely retarded?

>>18060273
post examples of american highschool papers. I've seen some oogabooga ones before but I thought they were jokes

>>18060324
i dont have to post examples. you can go to /pol/ and see the horrendous prose of mutt posters. the difference between their school essays and their posts is negligible.
>>18060296
theres some outliers worth saving. whites and some asians were trying to compete with me

Even in college they have 500 word essays.

the fuck? 500 words is literally nothing

>>18060220
I had to write a 10 page research paper sophomore year of high school in a regular English class in the united states. Maybe it was different in your special ed class but most high schoolers write plenty of papers over 500 words.

are you sure you’re not in eighth grade?

>>18059824
Jesus dude, I'll just write your fucking paper.

> The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Restorationist Christian church that developed in the United States during the Second Great Awakening. Adherents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are colloquially referred to as Mormons, due to their belief in a separate set of sacred writings, entitled the Book of Mormon. Mormons and their religion were thrown into the spotlight during the 2012 election, wherein Mitt Romney--an active member and a prominent politician for the Republican party--ran for president. This unusual Christian faith has a rich history, steeped in American folklore and intense theological debate of the 19th Century. Most fascinating about this faith is its appendant body of scripture, called the Book of Mormon.

> The Book of Mormon is believed by Mormons to be "another testament of Jesus Christ," written by ancestors of the American Indians, detailing their history and their visitation of Jesus of Nazareth. According to Mormons, a man named Joseph Smith in upstate New York during the early 19th century was visited by an angel named Moroni. This heavenly messenger informed Joseph that he would need to acquire a set of ancient writings, engraved on plates made of gold, and translate it. Joseph Smith, according to Mormons, obeyed the vision he had and translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. They point to the Book of Mormon as the translation of those plates, and proof of Joseph Smith's divine appointment as Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of God.

> A number of historians, both faithful to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those not affiliated, have expressed more critical views on the development and production of the Book of Mormon. An important aspect to the story provided by Joseph Smith and the contemporary Mormon Church is the involvement of the golden plates, however eye witness accounts by those who aided Joseph Smith conflict with the image of Joseph Smith as translator. According to these accounts, Joseph Smith actually dictated the book, and did so by placing what he called a seer stone into his hat, and then placed his face into the hat, reminiscent of the folk-magic practice of scrying. It is in this position that Joseph Smith dictated the words of the Book of Mormon, rather than reading them directly off of a set of gold plates.

(1/2)

>>18059824
>>18060780

(2/2)

> The work itself has received thorough attack as well, as a number of anachronisms appear in the work. The work has lengthy quotations from the King James Version of the Bible, and in these quotations a number of errors specific to the edition of Joseph Smith owned and read from appear. Furthermore, the book refers to wheels, chariots, horses, cows, wheat, iron, steel, and metallurgy, none of which belonged to any American Indian tribe, culture, civilization or people. Horses in particular are glaring, as it is well known today that horses were brought to the American continents by European travelers, explorers, and raiders--they are not indigenous to the Americas.

> The Book of Mormon, in spite of its historical inconsistencies, is still held by Mormons to be a sacred work of scripture, inspired by God, and in many ways is considered a seminal work on the teachings of Jesus the Christ. Given the prominence of the Mormon church in politics--both in Utah and through political figures in the United States--it is difficult to overlook such a work and its influence on many Americans.

Do some reading, swipe some sources, and call it a day:

You can do it bro, set up a reward system.

Not him, but it's a little more than 1 1/2 page. A page with Times New Roman and size 12 would be about 300 words.

How am I gonna make it, /lit/?

>>18060780
>>18060785
kek, it's confirmed that OP is a retard.

>>18060935
you joke but I'll put off an email for months by which time it's far too late and whoever was supposed to receive it has lost all respect for me.

>>18060296
>You as a people have been failed
lol who cares

>>18060944
go see a therapist

>>18060953
I've been trying to fix myself for 19 years but I'm tired of being drugged up and I don't know what to do.

>>18060958
>fix myself
sorry, but that sounds like you were trying to avoid seeing a therapist and just do it yourself. Don't.

>>18060961
I've gone to people but I inevitably feel like I'm wasting their time. I know I'm paying them and it's their job. I know that extreme individualism is fallacious and I can see how much of my actions are based on false notions of individuals and society. I can criticize myself all day, and I do. But I never change, no matter how much I recognize my own faults. I feel completely dissociated from reality, like I'm watching myself act as an automaton from some weird third position. I'm the ultimate hypocrite.

>>18060831
>what have i done, bros?
wasted a lot of money and time

>>18060831
lmao what a retard. How is it even possible to have a thesis without talking to your supervisor? Mine set up a meeting I have to attend every Wednesday. If I didn't have the pressure from that I'd probably do nothing as well.

>>18061002
>lets some retarded american bootstrap phantom interrupt him whenever he starts making progress
don't be so retarded
humans clearly aren't so special; look at yourself

>>18061002
in that case maybe /fit/ is the right board for you. literally just go outside and walk around, pick up and put down some heavy objects. swim, climb shit, read under a tree, do shrooms, whatever the fuck you think might help. dont keep ingesting legal meth because your doctor told you so, but also grow a bit of a spine - the fear of writing the paper for you is significantly worse than writing the paper

>>18061273
I haven't talked to my supervisor since the last year. He probably realized that I am a retarded fellow after I didn't respond with results for a task he gave me. I don't know what to do. Is it even possible to write a thesis in a week or so?

>>18061481
Write an email to him, give a sincere and honest apology about how you've fucked up, see if you can get an extension on the deadline. Seriously anon, write that email right now and start working on your thesis, apologetic emails saved my ass countless times through uni

>50 WORD REPORT ON WHAT I DID WITH MY WEEKEND
>DUE IN TWO MONTHS

>>18061527
This is literally OP's situation

>>18061514
Right. Thank you! Will try doing that.

>>18059824
Kinda unrelated but I'm in my final year in uni doing a history major, all through the years I've been cruising through my essays not really caring about grammar, structure and all that, though no one ever cared until this year, when I got this really old prof who is really anal about this and anyway I got my worst mark ever this week from him, and honestly rather than feeling sad I've cared more about my next assignment for that course than any other thing I've done, I also actually feel like I'm a student learning, as opposed to just chucking together essay after essay.

Is there an actual correlation between intelligence and the ability to shit out a bunch of words on a page? Is Brandon Sanderson a 500 IQ hypergenius?

>>18059857
I suffer from constant anxiety that sometimes paralyzes me for hours at a time. I still get work done.

mfw the amount of newfags in this thread

>>18059824
500-word paper shouldn't take more than an afternoon. Just write anon, thinking about too much makes you procrastinate. Happened to me a few times.

>>18060068
Lucky for us, I was worried it had metastasized.

>>18060242
I'd have to write 2-4 1000 word essays every week during IB and I would do all of them the night before they were due.

>>18059824
>mfw 100 word essay due next month
It's over bros, how am I supposed to make it?

>>18060220
i swear people just make shit up on here and fags eat it up. i had to write ~1200-1500 word essays multiple times a year in pretty much every class. shorter assignments, like the stuff they give you only a few days to do would be 500 words.

>>18059824

I GIVE YOU TOPIC! I GIVE!

Were the pirates in Hamlet an honest deus ex machina, as most think, or did Hamlet PLOT their arrival?

>>18061649
No, you just need to be able to string a few fake and real words together, and some greedy shark of an agent to prop you up as "his boy." Anybody can be that boy, anon, if he's not completely retarded.
