The
situation was desperate. My English teacher warned us of the consequences,
but I took no heed. I was in an insurmountable situation, yet I
had to persevere. The next two weeks were going to be the impossible,
as I had to read an English work from the Shakespearean age and
be able to write a critical analysis from seven to ten pages in
length! I read my subject matter, "As You Like It," by
William Shakespeare, in about fours hours one afternoon, but erroneously
put off the task of writing a coherent paper to a mere four days.
Being the final paper of the semester, I have no idea what the final
grade was, but I can imagine it was not my best work.
The
reason I decided to make a web site dedicated to my writings are
simple, I love English, even though I am an art major; and also
because when I searched the net for input, everyone demanded compensation
for their information. Keyword "Shakespeare" only directed
me to sites that charged for their term papers, with no validity
of their merit or worth. I was appalled by people actually doing
this, for I thought that was something out of fiction, and to find
out it really existed disgusted me. To ease the pain of others in
a similar situation, I have provided my papers- free of charge.
I am no Hemingway, most of these are a good "B" papers.
My intention of releasing my papers on the net is to provide others,
like myself, a model on which to compose their own papers and promote
new ideas.
Though
small in scale at the moment, as I progress in college, papers will
be updated as they are completed. In addition to my term papers,
I will also release my journals and "reflections" on a
variety of different topics. Do not worry, a person's writings are
their reputation and I strive very hard not to write crap.
