I am stuck on a paper i am writing.

Nothing helps. It is a stupid subject and an awful paper and i cant even chug out a second paragraph. I dont want to fail! help me! what do i do? it is due tomorrow and i am so stuck. The paper is about how the indian poet mirabai is important in the context of the bhakti movement. I am the only person on the planted writing a paper about this so nobody can help me! I need a miracle, someone who knows this stuff. hinduism. help. my parents are no help and my friends have abandoned me. I take breaks to clear my head, and when i start to write again it just sounds wrong and none of it makes sense! HELP ME PLEASE!

you could try writing down a list of essential questions about the essay topic and then answer them each with a paragraph:

-what makes mirabi’s poetry unique?
-what role does mirabi play in the bhakti movement?
-why was he a significant figure?
-what were the main themes/topics of mirabi’s poems?
-how would the bhakti mivement have played out with our mirabi’s influence?

et cetera.
hope that helps, good luck.

oh lol. yeah it would help if i googled them wouldn’t it? so what is your thesis? if it makes you feel any better i had to write an essay on protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism last night… procrastinated from about 8-11pm, started writing at midnight, got it done by 4 or 5am, but weirdly it turned out to be pretty good.

that sounds like a pretty cool paper to write, actually.

have you researched it? what have you come up with so far?

the Wikipedia page for starters lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meera

but if you need to cite sources, most professors don’t like you to use wikipedia so use google scholar to look up articles and things you can cite.

I have really pretentious research from websites like jstor and questia but it is all so, like i said, pretentious it is hard to understand. I USED to think that this paper was cool too, until today. now it is most definitely on my bad list.
and i plan to stay up till 4 in the morning, too.

well, any paper that you leave until the night before it is due is going to suck.
sometimes if im having trouble understanding the really academic research, i use wikipedia as a reference to see if they mention anything regarding the topic in laymans terms.
at this point, that might be your best bet.
