I have to write three:
Psychology Case Study - Study about one character of our choice, has to be fiction. I'm doing it on Navidson of House of Leaves. Apply four concepts from our class to our character.
History - Talk about a subject for five pages, has to be about America. Within the time period in the class, no idea what I want to do yet.
English Narrative - Tell a story, no idea. 3 pages
I just finished writing two summaries on two different stories that I had to read for independent English. I've got another due on Monday.
They're stories of my choosing, so I'm hoping to find something interesting.
Yesterday I had to write an essay on the American Revolution. Nothing for now, though.
4 page paper on technology and society. I need to find some scholarly articles to use as sources
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS.
plus a bunch of stuff for my senior exhibition project.
i have to write a letter pretending im maya lin. the letter is directed at antigone explaining to her how the curse on her ancestors can be reversed.

A literary analysis paper on any literature I choose for my Intermediate Writing class. I chose to use The Catcher in the Rye because I've written about it many times and it's rather easy to analyze. Plus it's my favorite book.

If I was your teacher and that was really your opening sentence to your paper, I would've taken off points immediately considering in academic papers it's improper to use "you" and "your" the way you did. Use "one" instead.
"When is loyalty to oneself more important than loyalty to one's friends?"
I have to finish a short paper about a character from The Crucible, but I'm lazy and I can wait until Sunday to write it.

That was the prompt I was given to write about, not my topic sentence. doodthing;

I have to write a journalistic piece about Paul Baribeau by May but other than that I have nothing at the moment.
Last year I had a substantive piece of writing due every week, and now my first writing assignment is in 3 weeks. It's on Huck Finn, so I'm trying to decide between Huck's experience and understanding of death as the novel goes on, Twain's exhortation that no one try to find motive, moral, or plot in the novel, Huck's complex use of religious terms and beliefs, the concept of scavengers, or just plain talking about morality.
My English teacher is...subpar, let's say...but I hear that other teachers are teaching Huck's understanding of death very closely. It's a topic I'm very interested in, but I have to do my own research and make my own conclusions. But Huck's lonliness is often directly linked with death in the vocab he uses, and his attitude after his father's corpse passes by is a perfect example of his attitude, compared with when he learns that it WAS his father. It's just such a rich topic...maybe too rich, actually.
Twain's exhortation is: "Those attempting to find a motive in the narrative will be prosecuted; those attempting to find a moral will be banished; those attempting to find a plot will be shot." In his own sarcastic way, he's inviting the reader to discuss and revel in three of the books' most poignant themes: motivation (especially for a crime or bad deed), morality (and the decision to commit a crime) and plot (the total chain of crimes and bad people which Huck and Jim travel though). There's a lot there, but I'd just touch on how rich each topic was. Seems more suited for a paragraph or short essay, though.
Huck tends to learn a lot about religion from the Widow and, although he misapplies it a lot, he uses it regurally. Whether this has to do with the customs of the time (like being racist), his use of it definitely makes some statement about it in general. But this topic coincides too much with how pragmatic and logical Huck is, and how he approaches things from trust and then makes his own conclusions that not even Jim's argument can shake.
Morals would be a fun topic. Because writing a beautiful paper is one way I can say FUCK YOU to my teacher, I want a large topic which I can handle...but in this case, I've actually been looking at Huck Finn through alignments: Lawful Good, Chaotic Neutral, etc. Of course, I could just reduce it down to morality against immorality versus amorality, but where's the fun in that? This is my favorite right now.
I'm honestly only just past when that drunk was killed in the Arkansaws town, but I want to be ready for twists so I've skimmed ahead a little. I will also be ready for this paper. Any help on which topic I should pick?

For the Crucible essay I did Hale :)
I've got to type a 1 page summary and 1 page reaction about the bailout for government. I've also got to summarize some sections of the Republican planks.
I have to get a journal from the library at the Engineering dept at my University and find an article that I will then basically give a presentation on.
This isn't hard in itself, except I gave myself all of yesterday afternoon to find an article, only to get to the department and find that I couldn't actually get inside on a Saturday :(
