How to Make an Essay Longer

How to Make an Essay Longer Have you ever been relieved to finish a writing project, only to discover that you were paragraphs or even pages short of the required length?   Most of us have.   We have probably resorted to all types of tricks to try to figure out how to make an essay longer.  Ã‚   If you are only a little short, you may be able to use those tricks, such as adding in some filler to stretch your essay to the required length.   However, if you are paragraphs or pages short, then if you you’re your paper with fluff, the likely result is a lowered grade.   After all, professors can spot filler.   Instead, what you need is a tried and true way to add high-quality content to your essay. Choose Your Topic Carefully The first step to writing a longer essay is choosing an appropriate topic. There are several things to keep in mind when you are choosing a topic for a long essay.   The first thing you need to consider is whether the topic is sufficiently interesting to you to keep you motivated for the entire duration of a long essay.   If the topic does not interest you, then how are you going to sustain momentum from research through your final draft?   You might feel like you are constrained in your topic selection, especially if you are given a specific prompt or are only given a narrow list of topics from which to choose from your essay. Even if a topic seems boring to you, you might be surprised what type of interesting information you can find about topics.   Google â€Å"interesting facts about [your topic]† or even â€Å"interesting myths about [your topic]† to find out some facts about your topic that you are unlikely to see in a classroom.   Even myths can make for an interesting starting point for your research, as you try to uncover how they came into existence.   For example, although the myth that Catherine the Great died while attempting to have sex with a horse is false,[i] it would, nevertheless, be a very interesting starting point for a paper about the ruler because the rumor highlights the level of misogyny she encountered as well as the general attitude towards royalty during her time period. The second thing you need to consider is whether the topic is appropriate for a long essay.   This requires that you be very realistic about whether your topic is sufficiently broad to support an essay of the required length.   There are some fabulous essay topics out there that really do not work in a long-essay context.   Going back to the Catherine the Great example, an essay that focused narrowly on whether she died while having sex with a horse would not support a long essay, while an essay that focused on the social conditions that made rumors about her sexual appetites so prevalent in Russia during her reign would support, not just a long essay, but several books.   Therefore, you want to ensure that you choose a topic that is long enough to provide material for the essay you need to write. The Importance of Goal Setting If you have to tackle a long essay, you may be working on it for much of a semester, over the course of an entire semester or even for an entire school year.   Therefore, staying motivated becomes mission-critical.   However, it can be very difficult to stay motivated if you feel like you are not making any progress.   That is why we suggest breaking down your essay into smaller assignments, and setting goals for completion of those assignments. Sometimes your professors or advisors will provide you with a schedule that helps you break down your essay into smaller assignments, anyway.   For example, a professor may set due dates for smaller subsections of the paper.   Students frequently encounter due dates for annotated bibliographies, outlines, rough drafts, and final drafts.   Following those dates can help you stay on track to have your paper completed on time. Of course, not all professors micromanage the paper-writing process.   In addition, while large goals are important to keeping you on task, they may not be enough to keep you motivated.   After all, completing an annotated bibliography for a major paper can be a huge task, in and of itself.   That is why we suggest that you set big goals and little goals. What types of big goals should you set?   Even if your professor does not require you to turn in intermediate work, we suggest that you set your own â€Å"due dates† for: topic selection, thesis statement, annotated bibliography, outline, working outline, and rough draft.   The due dates are going to vary with the length of the assignment, but if you divide the time you have to complete the project into 1/10th sections, then an ideal calendar is: topic selection by the 1/10th mark, thesis statement by the 2/10th mark, annotated bibliography by the 4/10th mark, outline by the 5/10th mark, rough draft by the 8/10th mark, and final product at the 10/10th mark. In order to accomplish those big goals, you may need to set intermediate goals for yourself.   Those are going to vary from person-to-person and are somewhat dependent on your schedule.   Some people have a little time each day to work on their paper, while others may have no free time on some days but plenty of working time on other days.   Ã‚  For undergraduate papers that are written as part of coursework, a guideline we suggest is dedicating at least 15 minutes per day to working on your paper, with that time period being extended the longer and more important your paper is to your grade.   If you do not have a schedule that permits 15 minutes of work per day, then you could compromise by dedicating 2 hours every Sunday to working on the paper.   If you are in a course where the paper is your entire grade, then you probably need to devote as much time to the paper as you would otherwise devote to coursework.   One rule of thumb that we have heard is that the number of credit-hours you get for a course is how many hours you should spend devoted to coursework outside of each hour of classroom instruction.   Therefore, if you are in a course that is three credit hours and you are actually in the class three hours per week, you should be devoting an additional nine hours of study to that class.   If your entire grade is a paper, then your intermediate goals should be to devote nine hours a week to writing that paper. How to Make an Essay Longer:   Thesis Statements After picking your topic, you are going to want to write a thesis statement.   A thesis statement is a short statement that summarizes the main point of your paper.   The body of your paper is then use to provide the factual support and evidence to back up your thesis statement.   While your essay is a work-in-progress, be aware that your thesis statement might change.   Your research may reveal that your thesis is incorrect, requiring revisions.   However, you still want to begin by developing a thesis statement to help guide you in your research.   Furthermore, your thesis statement will oftentimes be reviewed by your professor, TA, or advisor.   If they express concerns that you will not be able to find support for your thesis statement, it is a good indication that you need to further refine your topic. Research While research is always an important part of any research paper, it is especially critical when you are writing a long essay.   You need to devote sufficient time to thoroughly research a topic and choose a large number of sources, hopefully with different perspectives about your topic.   The more you know about the topic, the easier it will be for you to write an in-depth essay on it. If you do not know where to start with your research, we are going to suggest you start with Wikipedia.   There is a stigma against using Wikipedia as a source in academic writing, which we understand because it is an open-source encyclopedia that allows users to modify it.   In its early days, there were some significant factual errors in many of the entrees.   However, Wikipedia has really tightened its editorial standards, making it a very reliable, if sometimes biased, source of information.   What we love about Wikipedia articles is that they tend to provide you with a broad overview of a topic and just help you get familiar with it.   They also provide a great list of sources at the bottom, and you can go do your own further investigation in each of those sources as part of your initial research. Working Annotated Bibliography For longer research projects, we suggest starting an annotated bibliography and keeping all of your research notes in that annotated bibliography.   Handling your research this way will make it easier to cite sources and create your references page when you get to the writing stage of your essay.   In addition, it will help you keep track of the sources that you have already researched, preventing you from duplicating research efforts. The format of an annotated bibliography varies from writing style to writing style, and if you are going to have to turn in a copy of an annotated bibliography as part of your coursework, then you will want to follow that format.   However, the annotated bibliography that we suggest you create as part of your research is going to be far less formal and probably much more extensive than one you would turn in as part of your coursework. Each entry in this annotated bibliography should contain your reference, fully cited in whatever citation style you need to use to complete your paper, followed by detailed notes about the source.   Direction quotations are in quotation marks, even if they are long enough that they would be block quotes in an actual paper, while paraphrased notes are just written as notes.   The page number of the source is indicated in the notes.   Because some things are best shown by example, we will provide one below.   The working annotated bibliography entry is for an essay on the role of the Portuguese in the beginning of the Mid-Atlantic Slave Trade, to be written in APA format. Thomas, H.   1997.   The slave trade: The story of the Atlantic slave trade: 1440-1870.   New York: Simon Schuster. comprehensive overview of the slave trade written by an award winning historian who was the former professor of history and Chairman of the Centre for Policy Studies â€Å"in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, about 40,000 slaves were probably shipped from Africa to the Americas or to Europe and to the Atlantic islands† (p.114) Portuguese slave traders bought or captured slaves on the West African Coast (p.115) Fernando Jimenez was one of the most important Portuguese slave traders and this role brought him to prominence in Portugal and with the Pope, even though Jimenez was Jewish and anti-Semitism was a significant issue during that time period (p.117), making it clear that becoming involved in the slave trade was one way for people to gain power and influence in that time period Brazil was one of Portugal’s main New World colonies and the indigenous people of Brazil had a history of keeping slaves, who were usually captives from wars and might be used in human sacrifices (p.105) European slavery differed from indigenous slavery in a number of ways, mainly what type of treatment the slaves could anticipate (p.105) Brazil’s use to grow sugar was tied to the growth of slavery in the area (p.106) By keeping your notes organized in an annotated bibliography format, with interesting facts and quotations already kept in your notes, it will streamline the outlining and writing processes.   In addition, because you can expect to examine a large number of resources while researching for a long paper, it will help you know where to return to your sources for additional information.   For example, the source cited in our example is over 900 pages and Portugal is cited so frequently that it takes up more than one-quarter of a page in the index.   By having the page numbers contained in the notes, it gives the writer a good starting point if they have to return to the source for additional research while writing the paper. How to Make an Essay Longer:   Outlines Some people always find outlines to be helpful when tackling a writing assignment, while others find outlines to be less helpful.   For longer writing assignments, we think that the outline is an important writing tool because they are a way of helping you organize your thoughts into a logical and cohesive pattern.   An outline also provides a way to help you see where you need additional information and research. Before you can outline your paper, you first have to decide what structure you are going to use.   There is a reason the five-paragraph essay structure is a classic that is used repeatedly in academic writing; it provides a great structure for supporting your thesis.   That is why we suggest using the five-paragraph model as the basis for your essays structure, but modifying it for the additional length of the paper. Before we tell you how to modify the basic five paragraph essay structure, we are going to spend a moment reminding you about that structure.   First is an introductory paragraph that: 1) introduces your topic; 2) introduces the reasoning you will use in your body paragraphs; and 3) provides your thesis statement.   Next are three body paragraphs, each supporting a reasoning statement you used in your introduction.   Finally, the five paragraph essay concludes with a conclusion that restates the information in your introductory paragraph. Generally, a five paragraph paper will range in length from 2 to 3 pages, depending on the length of your included paragraphs. The outline for a traditional five paragraph paper looks like this: I.   Introduction A.   Support A B.   Support B C.   Support C D.   Thesis statement II.   Support A A.   Evidence B.   Evidence C.   Evidence III.   Support B A.   Evidence B.   Evidence C.   Evidence IV.   Support C A.   Evidence B.   Evidence C.   Evidence V.   Conclusion A.   Restate thesis statement B.   Restate support A C.   Restate support B D.   Restate support C To write a moderate-length paper, you can modify the five paragraph paper structure by including additional body paragraphs, transforming it from a five paragraph structure to a longer structure.   This approach works best for moderate-length papers up to six or seven pages in length.   To outline a longer paper, you would add additional reasoning sentences to the introductory and conclusory paragraphs and then add an additional body paragraph for each of the additional reasons you add to the introduction and conclusion.     For this outline structure, each additional roman numeral would indicate a new paragraph. However, sometimes simply adding additional paragraphs will not allow you to investigate your research topic thoroughly and will not result in a paper of the desired length.   You can still use the format of the five-paragraph paper as the backbone for your structure, but instead of adding paragraphs to your reasoning, you are going to turn each of your body paragraphs into sub-topics and what would have been supporting sentences in a body paragraph becomes its own supporting paragraph, with the capital letters indicating new paragraphs and the Roman Numerals indicating subheadings or subparts of the paper.   We have only fleshed out section II of that outline, but the outline for that structure would be: I.   Introduction A.   Reason A B.   Reason B C.   Reason C D.   Thesis statement II.   Reason A A.   Introduction   1.   Support 1 2.   Support 2 3.   Support 3 4.   Generalized statement about the sub-heading B.   Support 1   1.   Evidence a 2.   Evidence b 3.   Evidence c C.   Support 2   1.   Evidence a 2.   Evidence b 3.   Evidence c D.   Support 3 1.   Evidence a 2.   Evidence b 3.   Evidence c E.   Conclusion   1.   Restate generalized statement about sub-heading 2.   Restate support 1 3.   Restate support 2 4.   Restate support 3 III.   Reason B A.   Introduction B.   Support 1 C.   Support 2 D.   Support 3 E.   Conclusion IV.   Reason C A.   Introduction B.   Support 1 C.   Support 2 D.   Support 3 E.   Conclusion V.   Conclusion A.   Restate thesis B.   Restate reason A C.   Restate reason B D.   Restate reason C As the outline makes clear, what this structure does is actually breaks your paper down into smaller papers, with each sub-heading turning into its own five-paragraph structure.   Of course, some subheadings may only break down into four paragraphs, while others may require six or seven paragraphs, but outlining it beforehand helps you see how it will divide into sections. Obviously, we have provided the structure of the outline, but in your own outline you will fill in your actual terms in place of the structural place holders.   Working with your annotated bibliography, you may even be able to use facts, figures, and quotes to provide the support required for your structure, which can make it very easy to transform an outline into a paper. Tackle the Body Paragraphs First: A Paragraph at a Time Once you have completed your outline, you can see, at a glance, how many paragraphs you will need to complete your paper.   In addition, you will see what type of information you need to complete each of those paragraphs.   Then, start by writing the body paragraphs. Why do we tell you to write the body paragraphs first?   In large research projects, you may find that your research does not support your thesis or leads you naturally to a different thesis.   You may also discover that you initially thought of something as two different points, but discover that your supporting evidence is the same for both of them, requiring you to collapse multiple paragraphs into a single paragraph. You may also find that, when you are providing supporting evidence for one of your statements, you need to go further in-depth, requiring you to change it from a supporting paragraph to its own sub-topic.   All of these changes will impact the structure of both your introductory and conclusory paragraphs, which is why we suggest writing the body paragraphs first. Arrange the Structure of Your Body Paragraphs Look at your body paragraphs and compare them to your outline.   Is the structure of the outline the best way to present the information, or would it make more sense to present information in a different order?   Make any revisions to the other order that you think are necessary to present your information in the most cohesive light.   Then, go through and add sentences that make your paper flow together, making each of the distinct paragraphs a clear part of a larger whole. Write Your Introduction and Conclusion Once you have completed the body of your paper, you may want to revisit your outline, at least the introduction and conclusion sections.   If your paper deviates from your outline, make a note of those changes so that you can reflect them in your introduction and conclusion.   Then, write your introduction and conclusion.   Your first draft is finished. Revise Revision is even more critical in a long essay than it is in a short essay.   If you are making an argument, read your paper critically to see if it supports your argument.   You may find that there are areas where you need to go into greater depth to support your argument.   You may also find places where you begin to ramble and stray off-topic.   Edit accordingly. Help!   My Essay Is Still Too Short! If you have followed the above steps and your essay is still too short, there are some things you can do to make your essay longer.   First, look at how far away you are from the word or page minimum.   If you are within a few hundred words of your goal, then you can lengthen your essay by adding additional supporting evidence to your body paragraphs in a longer paper or adding a few additional body paragraphs to a shorter paper.   If you are pages short of your goal, then you will probably need to add a few subtopics to your paper, which may mean broadening your original research topic and revising your thesis statement. What Doesn’t Work When professors assign a minimum page length without specifying margin size, font, font size, line spacing, etc., they are working, they are making an assumption that you will use standard sizes, resulting in pages with 300 to 350 words per text per page.   If you decide to modify any of those factors to get to the stated page length, do not be surprised if you lose points for failing to complete the assignment that was given and if the professor takes off additional points because they saw through your attempts to evade finishing the assignment. Another thing that does not work is adding fluff to your writing.   Too many adjectives or adverbs detract from your writing.   Restating the same thing multiple different ways is another red-light for your readers.   Sure, if you are short a sentence or two, adding in one purple prose sentence is probably not going to tank your grade.   However, if you are a paragraph short, look for a way to add real, supporting material to your paper. Conclusion We know that long papers can be daunting, even for experienced writers.   We hope this tutorial has provided you with the correct steps on how to make an essay longer  and the task seem a little less daunting.   Just remember, we are here to help, whether you need a full example essay or simply help crafting an outline for a killer paper!

Revolutionary Characters By Gordan Wood - 1164 Words

Abdiaces Mahamed Johnathan Barth History to 1865 10/15/17 Revolutionary Characters Review In the book Revolutionary Characters by Gordan Wood, the degree in which he portrays the personality and personal philosophies that informed the politics of these early American leaders, especially Thomas Jefferson, shows that contrary to popular belief that these men were not some unflawed perfect beings, but they are just like us with their many fears and insecurities. These flaws appear in all of the founding fathers and this adds a level of realism to them. It also shows that flaws are a part of human nature. The members of the founding generation shared what Wood calls a devotion to the public good, a belief in the importance of public†¦show more content†¦These men had self-serving agendas themselves just like Aaron Burr did but they are hardly criticized for it. Wood says that Jefferson and Hamilton embody the democratic world of progress, Providence and innumerable isolated but equal individuals, there could be little place for the kind of extraordinary political and intellectual leadership the revolutionary generation had demonstrated, and that these men had â€Å"politeness, taste, sociability, learning, compassion, and benevolence-and what it meant to be good political leaders† (22). On the other hand was Burr who was demonized for his selfish actions in this book. Wood says he embodied what most American politicians would eventually become — pragmatic, get-along men. This clear bias for these historical figures made me think that this book had little nuance and expertise to offer. It was more of a simple and breezy version of history. There are far too many definite answers of almost every character on the book. For example, there’s an excerpt about Washington that really encapsulates the bias and simple lack of nuance Wood put into his book. He says â€Å"Washington was truly a great man and the greatest president we ever had† (35). This showed some blatant favoritism and also him including his opinions in his book as historical fact really derailed the story for me. This might be true but for a historian to come out with such a simple conclusion was completely unprofessional.

The Increasing Weight Of The Union - 1099 Words

The increasing weight of the Union since its creation in 1951 has elevated the community to the international stage as an indubitable power and encouraged the debate about the characterization of the EU, fostered by the involvement from European political science scholars. Scholars have came up with a sui generis definition of the EU in the sense that it neither is an intergovernmental organization nor a federal state.4 Still, the novelty of the Union does not bound itself to the definition of the nature of European institutional set-up. Indeed, the discussion between scholars goes further towards the characterization of the European power. To understand Manner s theory, let us first have a look at its inspirations. The concept of civilian power (CP) was mostly developed by F.Duchà ªne in 1973. He defined it as a civilian group long on economic power and relatively short on armed forces.5 This concept can be said to be the basis of Manners NPE theory. Moravcsik deepened F.Duchà ªne s definition arguing that the EU’s CP  «does not lie in the deployment of battalions or bomber, but rather in the quiet promotion of democracy and development through trade, foreign aid and peacekeeping ». 6 In a word, both definitions imply that CP privileges means others than military ones in its foreign policy. As a matter of fact, the civilian conceptualization of Europe puts the emphasis on negociacion, multilateralism, economic instruments and diplomacy rather than privileging aShow MoreRelatedFat Tax for Australia: Obesity Epidemic1723 Words   |  7 Pagescauses; genetic, lifestyle, and environmental.

Twelve student volunteers from San Diego State University were asked to participate in two different FITNESSGRAM tests. Six males and six females were asked for basic information, which included their height (cm), weight (kg), age, gender, red ID, and their BMI. The males average age was 24.3 years old and their average BMI was 24.2. The females average age was 22.2 years old and their average BMI was 24.9. The participants were also asked three questions about their physical activity level before the tests were conducted. The first question asked how many out of the past seven days did they participate in physical activity for 60 minutes or more in the span of one day. For this question, the average answer for the male was 4.5 days in the past week. For the females, the average was 4.2 days in the past week. The second question asked how many out of the past 7 days did they participate in exercises to strengthen and tone their muscles. The average answer for the males wa s 4.3 days out of the past 7 days. For the females, the average was 3.2 days. The third question asked how many out of the past 7 days did the participant do stretching exercises to relax as well as loosen up their muscles. The average male answer to this question was 3.7 days. For the female group, the average answer was 3.8 days. The numbers that were collected were analyzed to see whether they met the criterion-established HFZ (healthy fitness zone). These questions are important because they give a general idea on the fitness and activity levels of each group compared to the HFZ. After the general data was collected, the participants performed two different muscular strength tests using FITNESSGRAM. The two tests performed were the trunk lift and the 90-degree cadence push up. A 90-degree cadence push up test is when the participants get into a plank position with their arms fully extended and shoulder width apart. The shoulders, knees, hips, and feet are aligned, and the bod y is in a plank position with no arch in the back. The subjects were then instructed to perform a push-up by lowering their bodies until their elbows are at a 90-degree angle and then pushing back up to the original position. The subjects followed the FITNESSGRAM push up test cadence, which means that each participant performed their push ups at a rate of one every three seconds. According to PubMed, The standard cadence minimized influence of varying velocities of contraction on muscle performance (Cogley). The participants were instructed to maintain proper form and stay in cadence to make sure that the tests are both accurate and consistent. When looking at the HFZ for the push up test, females in the 17+ age range should be able to do 7-15 push ups in one set according to FITNESSGRAMS criterion referenced standards. Don’t waste time!

Command Economy Free Essays

Recently, over this summer there has been hundreds of children who have illegally entered the United States from Central and South America. They snuck here because a lot of their parents sent them here in search off much safer life with more opportunity ahead of them instead of being under a gruesome government control over in there home country. I believe they should be sent back to their country because, these kids could potentially be a liar and or a threat to our countries safety, and it is unconstitutional to make exceptions for anyone that doesn’t bide by the law, especially if they’re not a United States citizen, that entered the U. We will write a custom essay sample on Command Economy or any similar topic only for you Order Now S illegally. Unfortunately, no matter how bad any kid could’ve had it in a South American country, we ultimately can not trust there word because nobody’s word is just completely reliable, they could be lying and be someone completely different then what they’re telling us whether they are a kid or not. Without undeniable proof that they really did come here to escape their country, then we have too assume they’re lying in order to ensure the safety to our fellow American citizens. Furthermore, even If they have proof that they really did come to our country seeking help and opportunity, they still would have to go through the Immolation and citizenship gaining process Just like everyone else who has and wants to migrate too the United States to become a citizen. Therefore to sum It up, there may be many kids who want and need help that came here from their troubled country, but we as a country can not put ourselves In danger as a whole for people from somewhere else. America has their own problems to worry about and exceptions can not and should not be made for people who could be potential threats to our country. How to cite Command Economy, Papers

Leadership Royal Bank of Canada

Question: Discuss about theLeadershipfor Royal Bank of Canada. Answer: Introduction Gordon Nixon, the chief executive officer of Royal Bank of Canada, is the effective leader of the 21st century. He is the rising star of the western firmament. The path-goal theory explains that the leaders should choose specific behaviours that help to enhance the preference of the employees. It provides an amiable environment that helps the employees to generate maximum work activities (Northouse, 2013). Gordon Nixon advocated the business value of diversity and incorporation that set as the emblem of leadership. He paid gratitude to the phenomenal personalities for helping him comprehend the nature of diversity, particularly the base of human capital. He believes that the leadership diversity is the most important yardstick of an organization. He thinks that the leader should deliberate on strategic management and development of skills. Jonathan Schwartz, the CEO of Sun Microsystems is the one of the ineffective leaders of the 21st century. The Oracle Company bought Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion. Jonathan decimated the acquisition of a prospect of the firm. At the same time, he did not follow the trait of path-goal theory that maintains the paradigm of leadership model. Jonathan could not maintain the level and the status of the company withered away (cbsnews.com, 2016). The employees of the company faced the difficult time. They hardly got any motivation to increase the rate of productivity of the company. Therefore, the company witnessed a debacle in the course of time. In the particular section, I believe that Jonathan should fuse the traits of path-goal theory and the developmental leadership that determined the contour of the company. He should increase the level of motivation of the employees. Consequently, the productivity of the company will accelerate. The path-glory model and leader-member exchange model are determining the nature of leadership in the recent time. Reference America's worst CEOs: Where are they now? (2016). Cbsnews.com.
