I have to do a process analysis essay, that means an essay explaining the step by step process of something.. sooo.. my four options for an essay are:
1. Write a funny essay explaining to the unskilled how to do something that is supposed to be easy but in reality is unnecessarily complicated. (any ideas?)
2. Write a how to NOT do something, example: how to NOT get a raise, how to NOT pass a driver's test (again.. ideas?)
3. Write an essay explaining to college students how to register an effective complaint about a campus problem to someone in a position of authority.
4. Write an essay explaining the best process for expressing anger effectively.
Anyone have any ideas? This is for college english and I'm frazzled and stumped.

A friend of mine gave me, "How not to get a second date"... Now that I'm married I don't have much research that I can do but I guess I can wing it, what do you thinK? I also like the setting formal table and meditation idea.

Here are a few ideas- I love to write!!
#2- How NOT to get-or keep a man.
- Never Shave! Men really want burly women!
- Make sure your body functions happen just at the most inopportune time, such as lovemaking or dinner- and then break out into hysterical laughs while making nasal sounds that sound more like an escaped whale
- Watch Lifetime- ALL THE TIME.
- Invite him to see every single one of Dr. Suess's Musicals- if he happens to LIKE dr. Suess, just find any show that features Celine Deon in it
- Ask questions out of the blue that mean absolutely nothing!
- Call him constantly and ask how he is doing, whathe is doing and who is he doing it with! we all know men LOVE to be kept on a leash! lol..
- Call his mom every so often and discuss your relationship problems with her.
- When he is talking to you about something important- stare blankly-yet intently- at him and when he is finished tell him you didnt get the first part can he repeat what he said
- Chew with your mouth open
- Flirt as much as possible, and as often as possible with him before bedtime and then "catch a headache"
- get into a hot tub that isnt on, fart and then yell "Dang tub turned on early!
-Chew your toenails- in the kitchen- even worse, during dinner...
- stand in front of the football game on Tv and ask him does he think you are getting fat.
- when he is on the phone with one of his friends, say in the background loudly- "Honey do you still have those bumps on your butt? I heard they have a new cream- you should call your dr"
OR- My Fav...
Have a "female" conversation around him discussing such topics as bloating, cramps, periods, and weight gain- and then ask him his input on the subject.
Ok- but really now- maybe how NOT to clean your house. How NOT to save for retirement, etc.
Good luck!

If you want to do How not to get a second date consider watching How to lose a guy in 10 days its a really funny movie with Kate Hudson and Mathew McConoghy (however you spell his name) It has some really funny dating no-nos that could inspire you. Heres some i thought of:
1. Encourage your date to run out on the check then when you get caught blame the whole thing on them.
2. Get extremely drunk and talk about your ex all night.
3. Tell your date your 5 year plan is to end up prison
4. Pick up you date an hour late...dressed in dirty clothes...having not showered.
4. Take them to a fast food resturant---refuse to pay.
5. Tell them you need to leave early to pick up your next date...tell them how much you are looking foward to that date, and you wish you were on it right now.
6. Go to a fancy resturant order all the most expensive things on the menue charge up a huge bill then give the check to the date.
Thats all i got for now, just think of the most horrible annoying behavior you can and tahts what not to do on a date.

1. Suppose you have to survey a sample of college students for some other course. You do this, and your notes are on index cards. You want to enter the information into a word processing or spreadsheet computer file, but you are too busy with other things, so you ask your mother to do this for you. Unfortunately, your mother knows nothing about computers, including the keyboard (insert key, delete key, backspace, key), the software, and opening and saving files. Explain to mom how to do this.

OMG! I love the how not to get a second date idea! Even though you are married you can think of stuff for this! Like farting constantly, having bad breath, making her pay for dinner, dressing like a bum, talking about your pet cat all the time, having a smelly car, pointing out everything that is wrong with her, telling her that she needs to work out more, the ideas are endless. And it would be soooo funny! I would go with this idea! :)

You could write 'how not to get a job' ie what not to put in your cv, what not to say in an interview.
For number 1:
Filling in a passport application
Flat packed furniture
Winning at gambling
Understanding the off side rule
Sudoku
Hope this helps

How not to get a raise, just name all the things that you could do that could get you fired, think of being late, talking on the phone to your friends, using the Internet for personal use...things like that.

perfect Catcher of All-time? (Piazza, Bench, or Berra?) who's more suitable? (red Sox or Yankees) ought to they be in? (Pete Rose interior the hall? Steroid customers?) ought to it is talked about? (ought to their be an asterik next to Bonds' archives?) Are they truly worth it? (Are athletes making too a lot?) hint: I purely researched baseball, because you revealed it interior the baseball section. in case you want activities, attempt typing in arguable activities themes on google.

One that seems really simple but never is... How to shake a hand.... you could describe all the different types of hand shakes and come up with names for them, describe what to do and/or not do in certain situations.. i.e. the business hand shake, the church hand shake etc, ... You've got your different types of bad shakes.. .the limp noodle shake... the clammy handshake etc...
