help on essay paper
In my last blog entry, I said that I want to write about what is love?, what is friendship?, and what is family? I feel those are connected to each other. I was thinking that I can do a combination of the three, writting a little bit of it. Maybe a couple paragraphs of each to get my five pages. I need your feedback on that, so I can get some idea of it. This is my basic outline for the paper, for my thesis, write about what is love, friendship, and family in my own definition. ( my own interpretation.) For my antithesis, write about someone elses' definition of love, friendship, and family. I will get sources from the internet, books, magazines, and so on. For my synthesis, I will probually combined the anithesis and sythesis to create something new or I can summerized my paper and give a conclusion. Once again, I need your feedback on my paper. I appericate it. Thanks. I am grateful that you went over the thesis, antithesis, and synthesis because before I was confused what the terms means. Now I know what the terms means, I can get a sense of what the paper should be about.

See my comment to the last blog for some other thoughts on the dialectic... I think what you have here is a good general direction for the essay. What is needed is a firmer, more definite STATEMENT of each of the proposals (the thesis, the antithesis, the synthesis): what IS your definition of the relationship between love, friendship, and family? What IS someone else's definition?
The synthesis is not a summary. It is a NEW proposition, whereas a summary is just an abbreviated version of what has already been stated.
Again, I hope these brief comments are useful -- if you have more specific concerns, and include them in your blog, please be sure to eave me a voice mail message so I know to check your blog.
