oh ok in that case, may i give you a little more advice?

type a plan. basically, what you want to write about. and no matter what happens, stick to the plan. unless you have an amazing revelation or something.

i know it can be hard to keep your opinion out of it. but the paragraph you have, you've managed it well ^_^

what i would suggest, from reading that paragraph, would be to declutter it a bit. i know you need to cite references and stuff, and this is where organisation and planning comes in. a good essay depends on - good planning, good writing and knowing what you're trying to say. read your sources and make notes BEFORE you even think about writing that essay, or its gonna be one hell of a mess.

also, if you know how your planning/writing works best go with that. for instance, a couple of years ago i had to write a history essay. when i used a pen on paper, it was going nowhere. but the second i opened MSWord and started typing, i knew it was gonna be really really good. i wrote my first 5 pages and my teacher thought i'd plagiarised, because my style was so impressive.

but then my idiot brother smashed up my laptop and i had to handwrite the rest. needless to say, it went downhill from there. i went from a strong A to a B.

basically, get the organisation sorted first. declutter your desk, declutter your essay, declutter your mind. then write down in as few words as possible what you're trying to acheive. go, and may the force be with you.

id be so pissed if i had an A paper that went down to a B because of that.

i did rewrite it a bit, i took out the second quote and just wrote it in my own words because i realized that half of it were quotes.

@bolded. thats some good advice. i need to make sure i remember that.
