Answer 1

I am not a history person, but I am a teacher with a master's degree (6+years of college). I've written tons of papers and published articles in professional journals.

The way I would tackle this question is to learn about the history of Kashmir, India, and Pakistan. If you have your social studies textbook or handouts/notes from your teacher, look there. Another possibility is to look for an online encyclopedia. Learn as much about this subject as you can. The more you know, the better your paper will be. Once you understand why each has a claim to Kashmir, then you can decide for yourself which country should have that area. You will then write an introductory paragraph ending with a thesis statement ("Pakistan should be in control of Kashmir", or "India should be in control of Kashmir"). The next paragraph will tell the reasons why (based on what you read) Pakistan feels they should be in control of Kashmir. The paragraph after that will tell the reasons why (based on what you read) India feels they should be in control of Kashmir. You will then write a paragraph stating which country you feel should have Kashmir. You will then tell the reasons why--back up your reasons with factual material!! The final paragraph will be a summary of what you wrote.

That's how I would do it.

BTW, I think it's great that you're doing school work on a Saturday night. Do take a break, though. That's why school's closed on the weekend!

Good luck!

Sorry, I can't help you and no one else should either. That's called cheating.
