Homework Help - February 2007

Okay, in my Advanced English class we were practicing doing SAT essays. We did many essays, and then she told us to pick our best one. She told us to make our best SAT essay into a persuasive essay. I'm pretty much braindead right now like i've been all week, so I need help with some ideas. Here's the prompt:

Can people achieve success only if they aim to be perfect?
My arguement on this prompt was that to achieve success, people have to aim to what they think is perfect, or what their version of perfection is, not what society thinks is perfect.

Here's the problem: I have to make a persuasive essay out of this SAT prompt. Any ideas? When you give an idea, please elaborate a bit on it. Thanks!

I'm writing an annotated bibliography, and one of my sources is an essay that I printed out from a .pdf that I downloaded off the Internet. Would this be considered an online source? I'm asking because I think it is, but I'm not sure. If it is, how should I cite it?
