I want to get an A, not get suspended for plagiarism and cheating. Using someone elses' essay is defined as cheating...

Or, alternatively, do some fucking reading. Probably two of the most famous leaders of the 29th Century. Shouldn't be too hard, eh?

Actually, this is the only time I've asked for help on the internet or tried to use others. I do pretty well on my own. This year, we had to do research on our own instead of in class and we we'ren't allowed to use wikipedia.

Sometimes I wish I were a terrorist trainee or growing up to fight in a genocidal government or joining the Red Guard in China, but that's not gonna happen, is it?

considering by all accounts tommorow is still the weekend, you probably could do a fair amount of looking up information still. There are probably plenty good academic sources you could get if you did a reasonable search in an academic search engine, or truth be told, if you asked guiscard nice hed probably hunt something down of his databases for ya.

*as an aside, my making fun of him was funnier than the attempts which followed after me*

You know, "don't use wikipedia" means don't cite wikipedia. You can still read the information there, which is supposed to be cited. So when you find something interesting on the wikipedia entry, see where it came from and then cite that. Its pretty straightforward.

No, the entire point of what I said is that the teacher is completely not able to tell that you got your information from that site.
For instance, you wand to write this about Stalin "Stalin's increasing control of the Party from 1928 onwards led to his becoming the de facto party leader and the dictator of his country." Instead of quoting, paraphrase, then click the little 2 (or whatever postscript is there) and cite what the citation listed is. Its pretty simple.

Well, if you really need information about his father (maybe not? It's about Stalin and Hitler, not their families), then google him. Or you might be able to find brief information about the father's in the children's biographies.

I'm in the same situation with not knowing where I want to go in the paper, but I have to write a paper about why a variation of Victorian morality would be better for society and individuals today than both Victorian morality and our currently values (or lack there of, haha). Sucks pretty bad, huh?

Anyway, sometimes what helps me is to find quotes that I really want to use in my essay, then I sort of connect the dots to get to that point. So find something interesting you want to include and work your way to that, and include whatever you have to to get there.
