I'm only asking this question again because I really need help with it?

Question

I'm writing a college report on the third "chapter" (It's called Reading) in the book Walden by Henry David Thoreau. I need help with the "layout" or set-up (i guess...) of the report. I know what I want to say in the report, I just don't know how to set it up and put it on paper. Anyone who can help even just a little will be appriciated a lot, thanks.

Answer 2

The "layout" or set-up of a college book report should be established by the teacher or course materials. If no instructions are available, make sure your name is on the paper and it is typed or printed very clearly. There should be a date and the name of the book and author. The first part of the narrative should start with something to get the attention of the reader and then an answer to the question ... why bring that up? The remainder of the paper should be "for instance ... this is why I bring that up." The things that are in this step which is really the body of your paper should tell what you want the reader to know. The final step should be the "so what" step. That is something that makes the reader want to read the book. Try to put each idea in a neat little paragraph so the points are easily recognized. Good luck.

I am not sure if you are writing a report, an essay, or a short thesis statement, but all three have basically the same structure, which can roughly be broken down into three parts:

1. Introduction. This is where you cite the work in reference, and what you have to say about it. It could be a conclusion you have drawn from the particular text, or how it made you feel, or what you think the author is trying to convey, or most anything else that you think is of note. Since you already know what you want to say about it, it sounds like you are all set in that department.

2. Body. This is where you get down to the subject matter. You lay out WHY you think what you do about the work in question, and you support it with quotations from the work, or specific things the author says that reinforce the reasons why you understand it the way you do. This is where you actually state what you think--just be sure to back up your conclusions with examples from the text. You don't need tons of quotations, so just pick 2 or 3 which really illustrate what you want to say.

3. Conclusion. You briefly restate your thesis, which is the theme you chose to write on, and draw a conclusion based on the stuff you cited above, and why it supports your conclusion. The most powerful endings encapsulate your idea in one memorable sentence which sums it all up.

Generally, in a short paper, the introduction and conclusion only need to be one paragraph long, while the body is where the real information is included, and can be several paragraphs. When I wrote papers in college, I usually devoted one paragraph to each statement taken from the work, and used each paragraph to develop my thoughts on each quotation and show how they related to my theme.

The basic thing to remember about all expository writing is that it works the same way: tell them what you are going to say, say it, then tell them what you just said.

If you can give me more information about your assignment and what you are trying to say, I would be happy to offer more help. You can reach me through this site.

Your best bet is to google similar papers. Google has a feature that allows you to search scholarly papers. You have to pay for a lot of them, but generally, if you look for a while you can find a free paper. There are various sites, like the one below, that allows you to access free papers if you give them one of your own, but the quality can be very dodgy.

Search for Walden and Henry David Thoreau in the google one.

Answer 6

Take your thoughts and make an outline. Just kind of copy down everything as you ramble. Then go back and make some sort of order out of your ramblings. Once you have an outline the writing part comes easy. In college I used to do essays for others. I am sure the proffessors knew though, we all have our own styles.

Answer 7

This poem was written by Louisa May Alcott, who may well have been in love with Thoreau.

"Thoreau's Flute" (1863)

We sighing said, "Our Pan is dead;
His pipe hangs mute beside the river;
Around it wistful sunbeams quiver,
But Music's airy voice is fled.
Spring came to us in guise forlorn;
The bluebird chants a requiem;
The willow-blossom waits for him;--
The GGenius of the wood is gone.

Then from the flute, untouched by hands,
There came a low, harmonious breath:
For such as he there is no death;--
His life the eternal life commands;
Above man's aims his nature rose.
The wisdom of a just content
Made one small spot a continent,
And turned to poetry life's prose.

Haunting the hills, the stream, the wild,
Swallow and aster, lake and pine,
To him grew human or divine,--
Fit mates for this large-hearted child.
Such homage Nature ne'er forgets,
And yearly on the coverlid
'Neath which her darling lieth hid
Will write his name in violets.

To him no vain regrets belong
Whose soul, that finer instrument,
Gave to the world no poor lament,
But wood-notes ever sweet and strong.
O lonely friend! he still will be
A potent presence, though unseen,--
Steadfast, sagacious, and serene;
Seek not for him--he is with thee.

Analyze this poem and write your report as if you were Louisa May Alcott.

Answer 8

well, im only a freshman in high school, but i learned that you should always have you introduction say what the topic is mainly about (same in the conclusion but just in different wordings). but dont start off with "i am going to write about... " .. yeah THAT. make your introduction clear and exciting because you dont want to have your report boring. and then you go on to the body of the report (say things that you know you're suppose to say) .. and then conclusion. i know its pretty hard to write reports or essays, but once you get your introduction, its a breeze!! good luck with your report!!

Answer 9

well, if you need a way to "structure" it get post-its or index cards and put your major points on each (abbreviated is fine)

Each should be a chapter or at least a paragraph if the paper's short. Arrange in the most dynamic order.

Build on this "outline" to flesh out the report...

Answer 10

Start your first paragraph like an upside down triangle. Start broad, and narrow your point down to the last sentence. Then do 3 - 4 paragraphs on your main ideas. Your last paragraph should be a right side up triangle. State your point again (not in the exact same words) and then broaden it out again.

Answer 11

Try writing a thesis statement saying three things or more you want to prove and say in the paper and then write the other paragraphs as your points and then go about a conclusion..hope this helps!
