Offering a cognizant argument fo an unpopular side almost always nets you a better grade in English.

By asking whether or not terrorism can be justified, this essay topic is already placing "freedom fighting" under terrorism, and youv'e seen a lot of media where that's used. The Rebel Alliance are basically terrorists. So is V from V for Vendetta (book and movie). The French underground resistance during Nazi occupation in World War 2? That'd qualify too! Try telling me that shit wasn't justified.


I'd still rather not take the opposite side when my topic is terrorism. Maybe for another topic that wouldn't make me seem like a terrorist :P I'll add in the freedom fighters thing thugh, that's probably the closest I'll get to saying terrorism can be justified, but Ill still say that overall it isn't.

My uncle who's good at essays and stuff is gonna review it and tell me to change things around if I need to when it's done and I'll have my English teacher look at it before it's done too. I should get a good grade, but I'm not aiming for A+ material here...not for an essay.

What State do you live in?  I mean, as long as it's a fairly democratic one... even if it isn't.  Chances are it will get you a higher grade for less effort.  Since most English teachers are espiecally liberal.

Plus your like... 14 right?  I don't think people will think you are a terrorist unless you are in a VERY rightwing state and are of Middle Eastern origin... and even then you'd have to catch a particularly dumb teacher for that.

 

I know I framed most of my papers based on what my teachers wanted... lets you do less work that way.  Had one class I did almost no work in, just because I could impress the guy by using new technology in the reports.  Like Powerpoint and crap... hah.  Well it was new for 7th graders anyway.
