Can someone please help me think of what to write about? This is a narrative, so your imagination can run wild. Fan and medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to create a narrative essay that talks about a time where I had to choose right or wrong. It's a very bland topic so I don't know exactly what to write about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix @Compassionate @wio @Whitemonsterbunny17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well first have you ever had any situations where you did have to chose from right or wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but nothing that I can write about too easily. @Bigbae21 , I was really hoping to use the fact that it's a narrative to my advantage. It doesn't have to be real.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Ooh, so it doesn't have to be personal...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When friends wanna smoke and you want to too but your know its wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think? @BassCatcher15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Narratives are great because they allow endless use of the imagination. Normally i'd do great with this, but it's a boring prompt. And it's a good idea, but I don't have friends like that and I have no desire to ever try that. Plus, my teacher will be reading it, and I don't want her to think less of me.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

In my opinion (my opinion!), honesty is sometimes difficult. Being honest might hurt one's feelings.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Just a thought.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. I understand. @BassCatcher15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@EclipsedStar I absolutely agree. And I think that could be a very strong foundation for a fortified essay. Can you help me expand on that idea some more?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Well...I'm a girl, so that appears often (e.g. outfites, etc.)...I'm not so sure about guys, honestly XD

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Anyone have any opinions? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, Im a girls too so yeah it does appear a lot lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@BassCatcher15 im really tryna think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True.. Hmmm.... I think it could work out the same. If it were a boyfriend girlfriend thing. One of you get's your hair cut differently and you think it's hideous but she likes it and you have to decide whether to tell her before she goes out in public or if you should forget about it

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

@pooja195 any opinions? ;)

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Yep, that could work :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm just worried I won't have enough to write about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on let me see if i can find a website.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah, no websites, what about ditching chores and going to hang out with friends or your gf.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

A teacher may not really be interested in that, in my opinion... :)

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Wow this is more complicated than I thought X)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@EclipsedStar yeah lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

staying out past curfew

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

How long does this essay need to be @BassCatcher15 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As bad as this might sound, I really need to sugarcoat things. My college application process kinda depends on it. Lol. And it has to be a typical intro/ 3 para body/conclusion paper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOU IN COLLEGE Lol!!! good luck:))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm still in middle school!!! :J

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

It depends then...do you consider lying right or wrong in the first place?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I'm not yet, but I'm applying for dual enrollment in a few weeks so that I can take college and high school classes at the same time. I'm in Eng3H right now so the rules on essays are pretty strict. Haha

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Some people consider it okay if the lie will make a person feel better, etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@EclipsedStar it would depend on the situation. If it was to avoid hurting someone, then in some cases it's okay

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

@TheSmartOne any ideasss?? :((

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Do you have any personal experience at all? Girls have a lot, I'm not sure about guys XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol not really. It's due on Monday, and I haven't started yet

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

If you were a medic, that would be soooo much easier XD

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Like, "you're going to do fine", that sort of thing XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I'm referring to this: http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2013/02/08/when_is_lying_good.html lol

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

This is more for adults though, I guess :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@EclipsedStar , If you don't mind me asking, what grade are you in? Jw

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I'm in 10th....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't judge me........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I'm also in online school, to get ahead.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay number one, @Bigbae21 , I don't judge. Lol. And two, @EclipsedStar , I am as well.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Oh! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm begging my mom to let me back on campus but she said i have toO many booking and acting job...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good lol!

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Ok.... small talk is good, but I have a feeling we're going off topic X)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol yeah!! true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's like we're texting on kik or something like that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol well I was just wondering

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

If this topic is too hard, then we should just move on to another.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Taking too much time on one topic won't help... :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Back to business

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I guess you're right. I really appreciate y'alls help btw

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Np, that's what we're here for! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nP

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

So.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So? Haha

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Thinking...lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whos watching the SuperBowl sorry its off topic? I just wanna know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me. Go Patriots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seattle seahawks!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ewwwww!! Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HaHa Lol. Im proud they won they worked their butts off to get there! Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So whats the topic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about choosing to talk about on topic stuff vs. off topic stuff on OS!!! Lol jk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your right! So what do you guys want to talk about math, history, literature????

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Just a suggestion. How about...let's say you knew your friend was planning suicide and he told you, as his close friend. Would you report to his parents, etc.? He would hate you, but he would live...? I just thought of that randomly XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sex ed? Just kidding. Haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes absolutely I would call the police asap. I don't joke around about things like that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@EclipsedStar YES!

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

That's personal, not true, and fits criteria right? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you gonna chose that.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Also you can write a LONG essay on that XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait wait wait I'm lost. Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what she said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

About the LONG part. Lmao

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

lol XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess shes saying like you can write a long essay on that type of topic so you won't worry about it being to short.

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

You were worried about your essay not being long enough, so I emphasized "long" XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! Lol

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Would that work for you? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol and of course, being a 10th grade teenager, I made something dirty from the comment. Haha. And no I wasn't serious. My parents might read this. Lol

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

You can delete comments o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Comments can be deleted. Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaha! Good. Lol

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

If it's due Monday, then time is not on your side :/

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

You should start asap :p
