Da Fash · Accepted Answer

What are your questions about your assignment? What don't you understand? We certainly are not going to write it for you.

Rose · Answer

No one asked u for your opinions. Ms Sue pleas help

Ms. Sue · Answer

I agree totally with Da Fash!

Reed · Answer

Rose, "Da Fash" is being impertinent. Here are simple instructions on how to write an essay. You should write the body of your essay (paragraphs 1, 2, and 3) first, then the introduction and the conclusion. Keep in mind the points your assignment wants you to cover (conflict and resolution, the examples) as you re-read the story, take notes, then write.

Thank you Reed! There need to be more people like you in this world. Not people like Ms. Sue and Da Flash.

Ms. Sue · Answer

I disagree. Da Fash is not being impertinent. He has repeated what we tutors say a lot.
