August 24, 201610 yr comment_876514 Guaranteed almost no one, if anyone has read the book A Separate Peace but if you have I need tips/suggestions with this essay I'm supposed to be writing over the summer for an honors English class. I need to write a formal essay on how that book relates to the quote by Aristotle "Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies" and it has to be done before my school starts, which is early September (no clue on the exact date, don't even have schedules as of yet). If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated! P.S. If for some reason you are adamant on helping and have not read the book here is a summary of anything/everything important:https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/s/a-separate-peace/book-summary Report
August 24, 201610 yr comment_876551 *rubs hands together* IT'S TIME TO FUCKING READSeriously though I'll read the summary and post something in a couple of hours Report

August 24, 201610 yr comment_876621 How many words does it have to be?dumb part is its a formal essay with NO MORE than 350 WORDS HAHAHAHA. 350 words? Dude, I'll write the thing for you for $6m. XD (CN dollars, not real life dollars. Just in case that wasn't *absolutely* clear, LOL.) I'm working on a law assignment at the moment but I'll read a summary of your book thing later. Then you will be able to draw on my extensive bullshitting ability. (I'm the person who came in the top 50 students in Australia in Scholarship English by writing on stuff I had never formally studied. ) Report
August 25, 201610 yr comment_876688 Handed in my law assignment, after doing an all-nighter. Deadline for both was 12pm. Electronic copy submitted at 11.54am, hard copy submitted 11.58am. That is what I call good time management. Report

August 26, 201610 yr Author comment_876798 OK. What is the exact phrasing of the essay question you have been given? Aristotle's quote: Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies How do the characters in A Separate Peace reflect and exemplify the meaning of the quote said by Aristotle. Your task is to address this question in a formal essay of no more than 350 words. Use at least 3 quotes from A Separate Peace to support your claim. You must have a topic sentence and a conclusion as well example of the quoting format: "Peace had deserted Devon" (Knowles 72) P.S. what kind of 10th grade HONORS teacher doesn't allow more than 350 words in a formal essay Report
August 26, 201610 yr comment_876807 Alright. Sliding into bullshit mode (I've never read this book.) Question: have you covered anything on Aristotle in class? (I'm thinking of doing a little background research on Aristotle's philosophy of friendship: as a philosophy major I know it was kind of a big deal in his writing, but have never bothered to research it.)

August 30, 201610 yr comment_877330 Alright. I have found a good book on Aristotle's philosophy of friendship, should be able to deliver a high quality 350 word essay in a day or two. Report
August 31, 201610 yr Author comment_877635 Alright. I have found a good book on Aristotle's philosophy of friendship, should be able to deliver a high quality 350 word essay in a day or two. dont forget you need quotes from the book, just look up a summary and quote some BS and thanks DF you're great Report
September 4, 201610 yr comment_878232 I'm sorry I have not had time to do this. I have been dealing with the sudden death of a family member. However, I recommend you look at "Aristotle and the Philosophy of Friendship" by Lorraine Smith Pangle, which provides some good background to the Aristotle quote and explains more fully what it means. (This should take up a good 100-150 words.) Then you bs your way through the second 150 words applying what you have just said about Aristotle to the book. For this I would use SparkNotes, which provides much better analysis of the themes than Cliff Notes: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/separate/themes.html I reckon the stuff on co-dependency should be enough for your essay.

September 4, 201610 yr Author comment_878282 thank you for not telling me about this the day before I had school. 3 days for a 350 word essay is nothing so thank you for the advice on what to use Report
