Writing the Long Essays

Writing Essays for Length
 
It's Hard but not Impossible
 
If your grade on a paper also depends on the length, I can only hope you have a topic juicy enough to discuss for the required length. Trying to write a paper on a dry topic is painfully hard- finding sources with enough credible information isn't easy.
 
 
Aim for at least 2 quotes per paragraph- this will help when you've run out of things to say.  Ensure that you have cited the quote properly and you can breeze through this essay without any hair-tearing out or tears.
 
Props for anyone who does choose a hard topic, but don't complain about how hard the essay is when you've already hit on everything and it still falls short. If this does happen, go back to the paragraphs and elaborate them over again. Don't repeat yourself, just restate the facts in a different manner than you had done before.


Look for more sources if worse comes to worse. For any essay, you need lots of sources, and different types. Don't just have sources from the internet, or books. Have two websites, two or three books, maybe even a news article or review. This will add a variety to your paper that will help you sound more intelligent.
