Help Me

[KOOL-AID]

I got to do a definition essay for my English class, the final draft is due at midnight (5 hours left) only my teacher tld me today that my paper didn't follow the prompt correctly and that it was instead an evaluative essay that I had typed ...I'm not asking for yall to type it for me but I need some help, lets start off with a topic. Please no trolling I need legit answers and suggestions....are there any English majors out here
Here's the prompt:

Spoiler

DESCRIPTION: In an argument of about 3-5 pages, you will grapple with a definitional issue question. Within the essay, you explain and illustrate why your question is important and complicated/problematic, you willexplore the question thoroughly,and youwill determine your answer to the question and attempt to persuadeyour audience to consider or share your perspective using strong reasons and support.

• Option 1: Categorical Argument. Select and explore a complex (not simple—see WA p. 227) categorical issue question or controversy. Think in terms of cultural or social issues (Is ripping tracks from a borrowed CD theft? Is cheerleading a sport? Is Thor science fiction?). Essentially, you are asking, “Does (_X_) fit into the category of (__Y__)?” (See WA p. 243)

• Option 2: Definition of an Abstract Term or Concept. Select and carefully consider some term or phrase whose meaning is somewhat subjective (example: courage, freedom, equality). Considering connotative and denotative meaning, common or important context, real experience (that of yourself and others), and/or hypothetical situations, you are asking “What does (__X__) really mean?”

PURPOSE: This essay offers the students the opportunity to work on some of the primary goals and skills of EN140:

• Understanding types of claims
• Using evidence effectively to support reasons and claims
• Coherence, organization, and development in writing
• Synthesis
• Analysis
• Rhetorical knowledge
• Critical thinking, reading, and writing

REQUIREMENTS

• Length: 3-5 pages
• Minimum of 2 quality sources
• Use correct MLA format for in-text citations and the Works Cited page (see Hacker).
• Please follow MLA paper formatting (see Hacker).

GETTING STARTED: As you begin, approach this essay inquisitively. Do not select a question to which you are already certain of the answer. Take time to consider and explore your question thoroughly. Try to find or and consider multiple perspectives. Use Believing, Doubting, and dialectic thinking in your prewriting. Be willing to be objective and not take a viewpoint until you have finished exploring your topic.

RESTRICTIONS

The following topics are forbidden, for various reasons: abortion-related questions, steroid-related questions, gun-control related questions (these topics have been beaten to death) and anything that has been outlined in the text or example readings (i.e., “Is Avatar racist?”, “Is cheerleading a sport?”, police brutality, courage, milk as a health food, etc.)

Do not begin your essay with a quote from a dictionary or encyclopedia (that includes Wikipedia). Find a more creative and engaging way to begin. Keep use of dictionary definitions out of your paper. You are going beyond the dictionary here.

A note on Wikipedia and other questionable internet sources: Wikipedia, about.com, ehow, procon.org, and similar sources can be a good way to get your feet wet and to find bibliographies, but should not be used or cited in your work. By this level of your college career, I expect more quality, carefully selected sources.

A note on direct quotes: The majority of the space in your essay should consist of your own words, not direct quotes. You should use direct quotes sparingly and for a purpose. Be sure to “tie” the quote to your paper by introducing and following it up with a discussion of its relevance, meaning, or implications in relation to your work.

Honestly, I think what is fairness would be a much easier subject for you. It's something that is culturally relative and your essay could be trying to explore a single thread that binds all notions of fairness. The entire essay would just be presenting different notions of fairness and then contrasting them. After doing that find the common thread.

naw already started with justice, here is my intro( note that I have a limited amount of time so I am rushing, but trying to make it decent)

Spoiler

-The masked man is scared; he is running through the streets, and turns into an alley. He has robbed a local convenience store, wounding the owner in the process. He looks back and sees a pursuer. He tumbles over items around him to slow his pursuer down, and hops a high fence to create a barrier between them. He then fires multiple bullets in the pursuer’s direction hoping to hinder him even more, but it has no affect and the pursuer quickly catches up and subdues the masked man. The pursuer is a protector of the innocence, coming in great times of turmoil and knows no bounds. Yet it is not a person or thing; it is an ideal, a never dying spirit of our species, its name is Justice.

The last sentence is kind of But I see where you're going. But just remember that what you're supposed be doing is trying to figure out what that word means. Approach it as if you are the person working on its entry in the dictionary or in some encyclopedia. You are in-charge of trying to figure out what the word really means and then you're communicating it. You're not evaluating what justice itself is or what it's supposed to be, but how we use it and what we mean when we use it. So your essay is necessarily going to require you to take a situational approach and see how the term interacts with society as a whole and various subcultures.

You didn't follow directions and now you're coming to a message board to have others help you complete a homework assignment?

[无名的]

Take the time to read a post, get mad, and neg while having a paper you haven't finished due in a few hours brehs



Your drive is weak and is probably an indicator of future lack of success. This type of fukkery is why the college degree is so devalued. Lazy bum.

What I mean is you're not evaluating the concept of justice and what is or isn't just. Your essay is basically you going through analysis of what people mean when they refer to "justice." So your professor is not interested in you attempting to determine the useful or correctness of various different peoples' opinions about justice, just what they mean when they say it. So if you and I have a conversation and I use that word, when am I communicating to you. You're not judging whether or not I'm right, you're simply deciphering what I mean. That is your assignment, going through the various usages of that word justice and trying to find some common thread that you can use to say best encompasses what everyone means when they say it.

It's like I know nothing about you're culture or the words that you use and you're trying to tell me what the word justice means and why. But because there are billions of people on the planet with various opinions, your job is to try to give me a meaning that best defines what the vast majority of people mean when they use that word. So that extent you have to explore different cultures and groups of people. But you're not critiquing them, you're trying to understand what they're communicating as part of a bigger puzzle of what society in general means when they use that word. You are my Rosetta Stone, I know nothing. That is your assignment.
