Dear English 102 class, Spring 2013

This research paper is not hard, it is just alot of writing, but the professor gives you an outline that helps you through the writing process. I recommend you read over it before you start writing, because you do not have to answer it question by question. I did that, and when I realized it was to late to change the format of my essay. It’s not so hard to start early, begin with part 1, one day. Then do part two, the next day and so on. You won’t be stressed at the end if you divide it up in advanced. Now I know, this paper is not hard, but it is alot of writing. Pick a topic you really want to know about, you will have a better experience when it is something your interested in learning, than something you already have an answer for.
