When was the last time you actually wrote your own essay?

So, even though you deserve a failing grade for cheating, you're life is not a failure?

exactly. The fun of writing essays is writing your own thoughts in your own words.

Essays are definitely tedious.

Worthless essays are worthless.
If you write an essay on a topic you find interesting, or care about, then it can be stimulating.

...Of course, that's just my opinion.

When you are aloud to write what you want. Yes, it can be. I get to bash religion.

You are...my idol. Tell me, do your teachers call your parents when you stick unrelated god-bashing in your essays as well as mine?

In conclusion, the ruling in New Jersey v. T.L.O. grants too much power to teachers, because there is no god, and reasonable suspicion is not a sufficient test for searches in schools.

No, it is actually encouraged. Not some much the God bashing, but the fact that I have the ablity to think for myself. But I am not "God" bashing, I am bashing the beliefs that put restraints on Human nature (which is sometimes good, sometimes bad).

Although, for my World Literature Paper which is the first "IB" assignment, it makes me sound like a God freak instead of my original idea of Religion bashing. But you know what? I dont care, I got a "97.5%" on the paper (according to the IB rubric), and I pretty much BSed my way through the paper, which was comparing two Books ("Chronicle of a Death Foretold" and "Antigone") with one universal idea (which was that when people fall into an egotistical state, they ignore their "God" blah blah blah). Funny thing though, I have not read an entire book required by the school in about 2 years including "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" and "Antigone". (not including Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, I would have read that on my own).

Here is a list of Books I was supposed to read, but didnt (at least not all the way through):
Old Man and the Sea
Lord of the Flies
Fahrenheit 451
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
Oedipus
Antigone
All Quite on the Western Front
Ordinary People
Catcher in the Rye
Like Water for Chocolate

Well that is all I can think of at the moment.

read Catcher jewpin, it's an awesome book. My English classes' theme is "development and social identity" for this semester, and the professor keeps talking about how Holden finally accepts maturity and society in the end... but I'm writing my mid-term paper on how he will continually reject it.

Also, read Catch-22, by Joeseph Heller, as well, you'll at least love the humor in it.

Read the Republic by Plato, and anything by Nietzsche, especially Birth of a Tragedy and Also Sprach Zarathursa, it's basically a non-religious bible, trust me, you'll like it.
It values art and creativity as the highest form of human expression.
