Ouch, that was mean, xeno. Any reason that you are directing anger towards a benign person?
You could do say something about being able to accept yourself and being happy with who you are
Oooh, thats a good one. *Goes and writes that down*. Thanks.
that’s what this site’s for….goodluck with your paper :)
Anger? Where do you see anger? We simply don’t do people’s homework for them, as, in the long run, that is HURTING them, not HELPING them. Which is why we’re here. At least, we ancients and the regulars have those morals. Not so sure about the newbies.
what’s wrong with helping a person come up with topics to write about….seriously, it’s not like im writing the paper for her.
can you honestly tell me that you have never asked one of your friends or someone for ideas on papers or projects?
Lol, Xeno, I see where you’re coming from. Sorry, I’ll do it myself I was just more or less curious as to what the question MEANT then anything else…
I’m not saying “quick write the whole entire thing for me” I’m saying “I’m stuck and I need help.” I don’t plan on abusing this site.
I respect your authority, Xeno. Please understand I meant no harm.
and thanks, Stardusteclipse.
Your title might be referring to this type of essay (but don’t worry Xeno I’m not doing it for him, just pointing out a style).
Bildungsroman (IPA: [ˈbɪldʊŋs.roˌmaːn]; German: “novel of formation”) is a novelistic genre that arose during the German Enlightenment. In the Bildungsroman, the author presents the psychological, moral and social shaping of the personality of the — generally, young — protagonist. The Bildungsroman is regarded by some as a variation on the concept of the monomyth. Such themes are now often also portrayed in films (epitomic examples of which are the Harry Potter, The Matrix and Star Wars series) and in animation.
[edit] Features
The Bildungsroman usually contains the following course:
The protagonist grows from boy to man or girl to woman.
The protagonist must have some reason to go on this journey. A loss or discontent must jar him or her at an early stage away from the home or family setting.
The process of maturing is long, arduous, and gradual, consisting of repeated clashes between the needs or desires of the hero and the views and judgments enforced by an unbending social order. This bears some similarity to Sigmund Freud’s concept of the pleasure principle versus the reality principle.
Eventually, the spirit and values of the social order become manifest in the protagonist, who is then accommodated into society. The novel ends with an assessment by the protagonist of himself/herself and his/her new place in that society.
The character is generally making a smooth movement away from conformity. Major conflict is self vs. society or individuality vs. conformity.
Within the genre, an Entwicklungsroman is a story of general growth rather than self-culture; an Erziehungsroman focuses on training and formal education; and a Künstlerroman is about the development of an artist and shows a growth of the self.
Many other genres, separate from the Bildungsroman genre, can include elements of the Bildungsroman as a prominent part of their story lines, while not in themselves fitting the criteria of the Bildungsroman. For example, a military story frequently shows a raw recruit receiving a baptism of fire and becoming a battle-hardened soldier. A high fantasy quest may also show a transformation from an adolescent protagonist into an adult aware of his/her powers or lineage. Neither of those genres or stories correspond exactly to the Bildungsroman, however.

Honestly, yes, I can say that. I write all of my own work, personal or scholarly. Cheating is cheating.

No worries.
Ah poor Indigo, what a polite and nice boy. He’s frightened of you now Xeno! :)
Misca, that was the most amazing answer ever. (The first one I mean). Lol how do you stay focused long enough to type that. And I think I learned more in that one post then in my fully year of English class, thanks.
One tiny tiny tiny thing though: I is a girl. (Omg I am?! Lol, I didn’t realize until just now.)
You are fantastic, Misca. You’re now like my idol.
I’m not a ferocious dragon… I’m like the site watchdog. The watchdragon. I’m actually very nice to the ones who follow the rules of the site. I’m only outright mean to the trolls. Who seem to have gotten a bit… rowdy… in my absence.
Cut and paste dear boy, cut and paste!! Go to your ICT lessons. haha But thanks anyway. I still had to look it up (and know what I was looking for). ;)
Oops sorry, dear girl I mean then. lol :)
Now stop looking on here and go and do the homework, or I’ll get Xeno to sort you out. lol
Good luck with the essay.

Hey now, some of us have done our best to hold up the fort mate. Not that we are dragons or anything >.> …
Im not so virulent or passionate about being against people with homework questions, i feel more often then not we can just nudge them on their way. But thats neither here nor there. Onto the post:
Seems like a deeply personal thing they are asking you and I dont think even if we wanted to we could help you find a symbol to represent yourself.
Lol Thanks, Misca.
Xeno the Watchdragon. It should be like a book or something.
“A fierce grumbling echoed throughout the members of Troll island. It shook their souls and sent rivers of terror crashing through them. The roar tore apart their minds, sending shouts of fear and pain spiraling up into the air.
It only got closer, giving no relief to the Trolls. Some brave (but stupid) members picked up spikes and arrows, aiming it for the horizon, where slowly, their greatest fear was becoming apparent.
With scales of black and fire of blue it tore it’s way through the island that had been made by those awful Trolls. It roared its fury out to the stars.
It wasn’t just any watchdragon.
It was THE watchdragon.”
Lol.
Yeah, Snar, that’s what I thought it was. *Sigh.* I hate having to answer questions like these. Anyway thanks. I guess I have to stop procrastinating now and actually do it…
Thanks again you guys.
