My teacher failed me because she thinks that I copied this paper.
I wrote an essay on Edgar Allan Poe's life in relation to his writings. I wrote a rough draft that I really hated so I wrote an entirely new paper screwing the old rough draft (consisting of 2 paragraphs). She told me I didn't need any quotes or parenthetical documentation so I didn't do it. I put footnotes in it to prove a bit of my stuff like the stuff I didn't know already (I knew a lot about the topic already that's why I picked it).
He passing of judgement basically boiled down to: "Your footnotes were non-existant" and "Chris (that's me) you don't write like this" which the latter is appropriate since I hadn't done shyt in that class until then. Although, grading a paper on past biases isn't a good way to grade I think.
I had to keep from hitting her in the face as she talked to my dad and told him all this stuff that was untrue. "He spelled colour the British-way, like it was taken from another source", fck you *****! I always spell it that way! "He had no notecards at all for footnotes", they were in there when I turned it in >.>
Wh005h's favorite: "This is not English III writing, this work is that of an author and obviously not written by Chris."
I'm both insulted and flattered at the same time because she said I can't write like that but knowing that I actually did makes me flattered since she thinks it was beyond me.
Here's the essay and all the ligaments that go with it:
View attachment Poe.doc - Main Essay
View attachment Bibliography.doc - Sources
View attachment Outline.doc - (Made as I wrote the paper)
View attachment TitlePage.doc - Self-explanatory?
It's not that good thb lol feels good to vent all this too ^_^
