Term paper

COME UP WITH YOUR OWN ARGUMENT THESIS PAPER
the most important thing about the paper is that it argue, and prove, a strong, clear thesis. Do NOT think in terms of paper “topics”. A “topic” will get you nowhere unless you use it to produce an argument. “What are you trying to prove?”–that is the question that every paper must answer.critical, historical, biographical, philosophical, etc.
