Why My Teachers Hate My Essays (And You Can Help!)


Standard User

2,605 views

So far this year:

 

* I inserted the phrase "Sexual Tyrannosaurus" into an English paper. It was one of the most popular papers in class. Yes, I got a good grade on it.

 

* A World Civilizations paper contained a lengthy analogy between Michael Bay's Transformers and the ancient Greek phalanx formation. People can turn into giant death turtles too.

 

* I got to type part of my English paper (different from the above-mentioned paper) by bashing my head into the keyboard repeatedly. Yes, I got a good grade on it.

 

 

So come on, issue me some challenges. Give me phrases or analogies that you want to see worked into an actual assignment. Of course, I can't realistically fit in a "Pinkie Pie and a can of Silly Putty" analogy into a paper about genetic modifications, but I can damn sure try. I'll consider my job complete when I get called in for a private meeting with the teacher.

 

HELP ME HERE, GUYS. I WANT TO LAUGH.

Imagine your telling someone your life story, but addressing your self in the third person.

 

I did this once, and boy howdy........ 10 pages, 20K words, and one VERY pissed off teacher..... Still got an A XD

Try to type an essay, at least seven pages long, all while using Handsome Jack's personality and style of speak. Once its done, I kinda would want to read it too. xD Just to see how well you did.

Next time you summarize the ending to a classic book and find a deep theme within the story,bastardize it to all hell.Just completely debase it and have it still hit home somehow.

 

I actually did this for The Count of Monte Cristo back in high school.I don't remember what I said about it word-for-word,but I do recall saying something about revenge not being ok because it can cost you a hot slave chick who wants to touch your butt all day.And still got an A.

I managed to describe Claggart as a vampire in my Billy Budd essay.

 

I considered quoting every instance of the word "ejaculate" from  the book, but it unfortunately did not fit the essay. 

 

Whatever you do, work it in somehow so that it is both irrefutably relevant and silly at the same time.

Make the title of the paper completely irrelevant to paper itself.  For example, a paper called, "Twelve Simple Plans for World Domination Using Only Business Cards and Pigeons," is clearly a biography of Edgar Allen Poe.  The more ridiculous the title, the better.

Hoo boy, some of these are gonna be fun. Thanks guys! I'll try to post at least snippets of each challenge I complete (since reading a whole essay of mine can be rather dull).
