I'm doing a comparison/contrast essay on the two books Roll of the Thunder, Hear My Cry and The Outsiders. I need to do it soon, but I just can't get started. I keep on procrastinating too! Ineed to work on this thing asap, but I'm not motivated to!

How about making a spider graph or similar sort of brain storming activity.
A spider graph starts with your main idea in a circle in the centre and then you write the ideas that come off of that main idea around that circle (supporting ideas) and then the ideas that come off of those ideas around the outside (other support). You can show how they are linked by drawing lines to the different ideas to show that they are connected.
The centre idea is developed into you thesis and thesis paragraph.
Each one of the supporting ideas gets developed into a supporting paragraph with the other support used to substantiate your supporting ideas.
Then you have to write a conclusion.
Good luck.

Do you want an F on your essay? Know that its not going to get done on its own. There is a time to stick it where the sun dont shine, but in this case, you have to get it done sooner or later.
Did you like the books? That should help if you did. Read some sparknotes because often times it tells you observations you missed or didn't get which opens a new perspective of the story.
Start your intro, i usually do that first and if I like it, i feel more confident and ready to get it done.
other than that, i dont know of anything else.

Turn off the internet and set a goal to do something fun in the next couple of days, but if you are not done your essay you can not do that activity. Works for me!

Just think about something or someone you really like. When you write about this something, then just think: "If I just finish this essay right now, that's more time for me to spend with that something/someone." It may sound dorky/nerdy,but it works. Or you drink while you write it or eat something really good.
