NOTE: This page is out-of-date. I made a new homepage in January, 2007 (to replace this page's dead successor). The page you are looking at has information not replicated on the new site. However, this material is now mostly of historical interest.

A note about plagiarism

If you have even the slightest temptation to use Copy-Paste, try to resist it. It will not hurt me a bit, whereas it will hurt both your learning, and potentially your reputation. Teachers have access to anti-plagiarism resources, which would allow them to match "your" work to this site and cause a problem for you. Finally, not a single essay here is very good, and all are likely written in a style different from yours. Plagiarism is often obvious, so don't risk it.

This is not meant to discourage criticism/review of any of these pieces. If you need to quote a passage, go ahead; just don't forget to cite the source.

Thank you for reading and (hopefully) paying attention to this.

Before you dive in

Some of the essays might be draft versions because I could not find the finals. I will attempt to post new creations to this site as soon as they are complete, excluding perhaps the worst of my ramblings. If you find an error or misrepresentation of any sort in these essays, please report it to me (differences of opinion will also be noted, although you then risk getting into a discussion with me).
