[QUOTE=Raptor_Girl;25497073]I plugged it into word and formatted it to MLA specifications. It's three pages. Without the formatting it's a page and a half, which for MLA is three pages.[/QUOTE] Wait, what? How is the page number different for MLA?
lol everyone needs to stop posting their essays/stories on facepunch. Each and every single work will be criticized the fuck out of and no one will ever be able to write good enough to every persons standards on here.
The ending is HORRIBLE too. I would fail you just for that ending sentence.
[QUOTE=jwk94;25497197]Wait, what? How is the page number different for MLA?[/QUOTE] MLA requires, one inch margin, first sentence of each paragraph to be indented, the sentences to be double spaced, plus a bunch of other stuff for quotes. It's all in the formatting.

[QUOTE=Raptor_Girl;25496956]I should also add that if you're doing MLA you need to have in text citations. Else you'll get a grade reduction for plagiarizing. [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] Yes it is. MLA is double spaced and the first sentence of each paragraph is indented.[/QUOTE] I did the same, I get 2 pages. (Closer to 1.5)
an "in this essay I will write... " intro is a pretty basic thing to do, unless you're like 13 you should be able to write far better essay introductions. I wrote like 4 essays a week last year for the the whole of the school year, I don't mean to brag but it's really quite a bad essay, it's also very easy to tell that it's written by someone who doesn't write a load of essays. It's also waaay too short, essays are meant to be about reading deeply into something you've studied, so they should be like 2000 words at the very least.
Looks like C work bro.

[quote]In the nineteenth century the belief that the United States would control all of north America is the belief of "continentalism". One of the early important figures in this idea was John Quincy Adams. He was a leading figure in the Lousinana purchase in 1803 and the Polk administration in the 1840s.[/quote] Your paragraphs are thin, lacking content and transition sentences. You're on the right path with giving historical references. That paragraph in particular, you're just stating something, backing it up in the next sentence, and then letting the reader know who John Adams is. Then you move on. You need detail.
