[kelly user]

i need to write a paper for my 1301 class (college freshman english). It is an open compare and contrast paper. i was thinking about comparing an acoustic to an electric guitar.

Any thoughts?

how long does it have to be? do you think you can get the length requirement with the information available on the topic?

Max 4 pages. i don't know, that was kinda the point to the thread, for information.

Once you get going you'll breeze through 4 pages.

Similar: both types of musical instuments, same fretting/notes, blah blah

Different: technique to play, type of music, construction, etc

You can come up with a million things

[thetroy]

compare men and women

Compare students who write their own papers....






































with maybe those that buy 'em off the net or something

I've done that 2-3 years ago. I made casette tapes vs. CDs. I was against CD usage What ever you do, make sure you clearly state the advantages and disadvantages of both. And try to go in coordination with the rules stated in your book. That's what the english teachers care

Mine was a presentation in fact and everybody got AAs with their silly/shitty presentations just because they complied with the rules


How about Megadeth vs. Metallica?

BMW vs. Mercedes?

Jackson vs. ESP?

Drew Barrymore vs. Paris Hilton?

The fleet fingered guitar players of rock in the 80's to the Index finger only tune down to Q minor players of the 90's and and up to current times. You won't be able to properly explain in less than 10 pages though.

Compare the protagonists from Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' (Antonio) and 'Hamlet' (Hamlet).

My suggestion. Don't do the guitar comparison. You'll likely bore the instructor to death, making it more difficult to get a good grade. Like it or not, the grading of papers is subjective and a good topic will take you far.

The aforementioned suggestion on comparing men/women sounds good.

Perhaps compare oral sex/vaginal sex...........lol.....j/k. (hey, it'd be an intersting paper).

KISS. Keep it simple. Stupid.:ROTF: Seriously. The teach is going to be looking for correct structure, grammer and all that boring basic stuff. Why not compare living on your own vs living at home? That ought to be topical.

Drew Barrymore vs. Paris Hilton?

Now that would be a short paper.

Compare Faustus from Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus with Satan in John Milton's Paradise Lost.

All natural boobs vs. augmented ones.
