Paragraphs what are for the paper

Topics?

1) The history of animation? Maybe a cool run-down of the biggest, most important things, running from the first one ever made in 1908, to present day? Plus there were those round things you could turn in the past and look through a slot to see an animated image, and then in Egyptian times they had pictures on pillars in a sequence so when you rode past quickly it would appear animated. Maybe some of that kind of thing...

2) The effects of video game violence on kids? Lots of people think that violent video games like Grand Theft Auto and stuff makes kids who play them violent. I think that's crazy! I could look look up graphs and stuff to show how wrong this idea is.

3) Robots? robots are cool. A paper about neat robots that live today, fun ones, useful ones, military ones, and stuff. Makes for quite the essay, eh?
Eh?

A Greg-Related History of Research Papers and Research Paper Things

i should write this in rhyme

Research paper history I hear?
"Five pages!" cried out miss Appleton.
World Cultures class, my sophomore year
It seemed then I'd ne'er be done.

An essay on African culture was the assignment;
A history of African art was my subject.
Following soon, weeks of information refinement
And the need for much caffeine, I suspect.

My peers and I, we worked so hard
And wrote for many an hour;
We typed 'til our fingertips were scarred
And used up all our power.

The day soon came to submit our pages,
And this did comfort me,
On the paper I had spent ages,
I had received... a C!?

First

First post.
Research blog.
Happy times.
