Can I please get help with this essay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you've got is good, how long does it have to be?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

5 paragraphs 700 words @HNeli

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

That's really good!

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Ok then. I trust your tutor to know what their talking about, but in my opinion saying "feeling close to nature is fun" isn't something very realistic. People don't really say that. I guess I am understanding now, maybe instead of "Even though..., a resort can also..." you could replace "Even though" with However or Although. Sou it sounds maybe more in a matter a fact tone of that "Although camping can be beautiful, a resort can allow for astonishing sites with perks of...." Sorry if I caused you to be thrown off before, didn't intend on that. Also, I think it makes perfect sense...and I'm the reader.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay.. Sorry im working on this, talking to you, and doing an excel assignment..

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

It's totally fine I'm not in a rush for anything.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Alright.. So what should I change this to-- "Camping in the woods or wilderness surrounded by trees and feeling close to nature." What you said is true

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

So with that sentence you could do two things, add to it or change it completely. If you want to add to it you could say " Camping in the woods or wilderness surrounded by trees and feeling close to nature can give you a look to our ancestor's lives." The problem with doing this is that you risk the chance of people miss understanding you like camping more. Now changing it, "Camping in the woods or wilderness surrounded by nature can give you a new kind of experience." Saying this can of course be changed. I think it's unlikely your tutor will ask for more on this sentence, but it all depends on how you'll change the next sentence with the However or Although.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Alright

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

So like this- Camping or staying at a resort? Both are exciting and unique in their own way, and a resort located in Alaska could be entirely made of ice. Camping in the woods or wilderness surrounded by nature can give you a new kind of experience. Although camping can be an adventure and beautiful, a resort can allow for astonishing sites with perks of air conditioning/heat, cover from weather conditions, and no bugs that bite in the middle of the night.

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

That looks just about right. I think it has what your tutor is looking for. How do you like it though? It's your paper.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I like it.. To be honest I just want to finish it so that I can start my cause and effect essay that are both due on the 5th. So that I can do my final exam with another essay -.-

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Wow. That's a lot of papers...

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes and thats only for this class. I have 3 others

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

That's...yeah sorry to hear about that...

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yeah :/ .. Okay on to the first body

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

This is what I have already- Camping in the woods is nice especially if the campers have something to sleep in, like a tent or camper. Something comfy and will keep the bugs out. If the camper has a tent a blow up mattress is great to have or an extremely fluffy sleeping bag. Maybe the campers aren’t ruffing it as much and have a camper or recreational vehicle to stay in. Rvs and campers have some similarities with resorts. Both have air conditioning/heat and are enclosed with a door to keep bugs outside, especially at night. An area to sit to play games or eat, and some resorts like suites have a kitchenette or full sized kitchen with everything; stove, sink, dishes, microwave. Although resorts have a lot of modern day perks, being outside allows people to go out of our technological society and breathe real fresh air. I was told this- Above, the beginning of this paragraph gives a supporting detail to its main idea. Topic sentences in general give readers a preview of the main idea of body paragraphs to prepare them for the ideas to come. Consider these questions when developing your topic sentence: • What is the main idea/discussion point of this paragraph? - Which aspect of comparison is it about? For example, is it about the level of comfort in camping and in staying in a resort? • What should be your topic sentence to reflect that main idea or discussion point?

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Ok I like what you have. The comparison is there. For me the main idea of this paragraph based on the beginning part of it, was that camping can be more enjoyable when in something like a RV. I like that because it supports your main idea of resorts being better. As you end the paragraph I started getting a little thrown off. "some resorts like suites have a kitchenette or full sized kitchen with everything; stove, sink, dishes, microwave." could probably be cut out of this paragraph and placed in the next one. and instead you could place a fact about campers that they don't have wifi. This way the last sentence looks like it's placed appropriately and you can bring up that in the final or next paragraph as a negative to camping.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is good, but I feel you can elaborate less on what you personally feel about the topic and a little more on what other's point of view is and make sure you have credible sources to support your main points. If this is an essay that requires you not to have pre-revised research then you good as far as research goes in accordance to your personal view and your view in the subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree with grim, but don't forget about a counter argument! What's bad about camping, or being in the outdoors? You know? What is something you can think of that could be a downside? Look at what you wrote and see what you think of to make that "irritable" thing better. What is it about the downside you can make better? I hope that helps :)

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

So like this- Camping in the woods is nice especially if the campers have something to sleep in, like a tent or camper. Something comfy and will keep the bugs out. If the camper has a tent a blow up mattress is great to have or an extremely fluffy sleeping bag. Maybe the campers aren’t ruffing it as much and have a camper or recreational vehicle to stay in. Rvs and campers have some similarities with resorts. Both have air conditioning/heat and are enclosed with a door to keep bugs outside, especially at night. Unlike resorts campers do not have wifi to connect to the internet. Although resorts have a lot of modern day perks, being outside allows people to go out of our technological society and breathe real fresh air.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes it does help.. Bad thing weather conditions ruining the campsite and bugs biting

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Yes and now you have a step up in your next paragraph when you compare resorts to camping with wifi, bugs, and weather. Oh and just to give you something else it's terribly hard to park rv's and hook them up.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Lol yes I know.. Its fun to watch

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I have this already -- At a resort people vacationing do not need to be concerned with the weather possibly destroying their campsite. Or being trapped and scared in a camper or rv. Which can be terrifying if a hurricane or snow storm occurs. In a resort the people staying can relax and enjoy themselves, by going to the indoor pool or hot tub, or the spa and getting a massage. Or for the kids the arcade or play areas. A campsite or open area the campers found, can be fun and enjoyable too if the weather is good, and no bugs are flying around bothering them. If it’s too hot people can become miserable especially if they are being eaten alive by mosquitos. However nice, walls of a resort can never allow someone the star light and freedom of camping.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Do you know how to use excel?? The two that usually help me aren't online

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Yeah I guess it is lol! Ok so beginning was great. It's kinda the same problem in the last paragraph where the ending is throwing me off a bit. You could maybe move that last sentence to the beginning/mid section. Then maybe add two sentence to it, small ones. I broke it up so it would be easier to see: "At a resort people vacationing do not need to be concerned with the weather possibly destroying their campsite. Or being trapped and scared in a camper or rv. Which can be terrifying if a hurricane or snow storm occurs. However nice, walls of a resort can never allow someone the star light and freedom of camping. Although walls can come in handy. In a resort the people staying can relax and enjoy themselves, by going to the indoor pool or hot tub, or the spa and getting a massage. Or for the kids the arcade or play areas. A campsite or open area the campers found, can be fun and enjoyable too if the weather is good, and no bugs are flying around bothering them. If it becomes too hot though people can become miserable especially if they are being eaten alive by mosquito's." Can you refresh my memory on excel? I may know it.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I like that! Its this

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The instructions want me to do some function thing and its not working

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

I wish I could help you with that but I'm lost in it. Sorry Happy that helped a little!

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Its okay.. I think I figured it out (maybe)

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

You should try looking it up on youtube I'm sure there is something that could help.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Google came up with directions... Should I add more to that body or move on for now?

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

I think you could move on

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay.. I dont have another body. I changed my last main point. It was price and its now bugs.

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Well you can totally work with this! in fact it's better with bugs because resorts are better about that where with price, camping is the better option.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Um. Resorts better because no bugs but camping better because of price?

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

yeah usually people have to pay well into the hundreds for a resort room. Camping is normally (depending on where you go) anywhere from 30-60 maybe 90 if your some where really nice. Resorts when your out on patio's usually have the bug repellent lights, candles. campers have to bring there own stuff or they will be eaten alive.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yeah.. But price is no longer part of my thesis or main points "Although camping can be an adventure and beautiful, a resort can allow for astonishing sites with perks of air conditioning/heat, cover from weather conditions, and no bugs that bite in the middle of the night."

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Gotcha ok

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

I have to take care of some stuff really quick I should be back on in like 30 to an hour

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Alright.. Ill work on excel

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Good luck with that lol

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Are you back on?

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

oh yeah sorry

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Its okay.. Im still working on excel

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

how's that going?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Its going.. I fiured out what I have to do for this IF function thing. But I have to enter it one at a time 42 times on two sheets on two documents -.- I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

figured *

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Geeze you'd think with all the technology we have things like would be made a lot simpler.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yeah.. I dont get why its wont let me select all the columns to do the function all at once.. 42 more to go then im done with step 8 out of 19 -.-

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

holy smokes. I'm impressed you are still able to stay awake right now at that point doing that, i'd be sleeping lol

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I wish I could go take a nap

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

lol you should try listening to music, it helps me focus when i'm doing something super boring. time will fly by a lot faster

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Ill try that.. Officially done with step 8

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Yay now only ten more to go, it sounds bad but it's eight less you had to do before

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yeah.. Actually 20. Since I have 2 assignments with 10 more steps

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Nothing, i can't say anything to that, I could say I'm sorry but that's not really gonna help you

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Lol nope

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

what do you have to do that for? like what class?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

The excel is for my computer application mode class

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

What grade are you?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Freshman in college.. I use this site cause people on here are creative and I took a year off so im a bit rusting on somethings.. Like I haven't done a compare and contrast essay since middle school. And Ive never used excel till today

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

That's cool. I was looking up like a hundred question all the time and openstudy was always popping up somewhere. So after a while of ignoring it I looked into it found it pretty interesting. I haven't been on long, but so far so good the people on here are really nice

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yeah they are.. But be careful of the weird ones. Like yesterday some boy messaged me saying I had nice boobs and that he "fluttered" me the day before.. I responded nicely and told him not to speak to me like that and that I didn't know him then I reported and blocked him.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I joined this site in middle school. I didn't use it much till now

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Geeze that's creepy. Not like you didn't already gather that. I always hear about things like that but I've never actually talk to someone it happened too. I'm so sorry. It makes me curious as to why people think they can talk to others like that.

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

It's cool you've been on that long. I was wondering how you were able to get all those SmartScores.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I guess they think that you cant do anything. If they said that in person you'd slap them or go off.... Oh I have no clue what they are or how I got them.. Im assuming its from getting metals

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Yeah that makes sense. That's a good point they probably are from the medals.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Welp

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

I hate that when you feel like you should say something but there isn't anything left to say it drives me crazy because a lot of people ask if your ignoring them it's just like no..but what am i supposed to say right now.. So if you just stop messaging it's fine lol

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Lol okay.. I usually say "welp" when that happens

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

This is what I have so far

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

It looks great I really like it! Do you think you'll be putting another paragraph on it?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Yes I need two more paragraphs. The last body about bugs and the conclusion

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

What I thought. A great thing that can pertain to bugs and also give you more in favor of resorts for readers is location. Just as an idea because you have to be careful about repetition, without anything else related to or around the central idea of the paragraph it becomes very easy to just repeat the same things over.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Um okay... For example Orlando, Florida has mosquitoes and love bugs. And at a resort there are no wingspanroaches or flying palmetto bugs.

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Exactly!

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Okay... Now to put that into a paragraph...

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

For example Orlando, Florida has mosquitoes and love bugs. And at a resort there are no wingspanroaches or flying palmetto bugs. ***

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Omg why is it doing that.. I typing no "wingspanroaches" and its changing it to wingspanroaches

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

-.- omg

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

LOL that's got to be frustrating I'm so sorry!

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

|dw:1435780338163:dw|

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

YES IT TOOK IT!

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

I dont get why it changed it after I clicked post

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

LOL you can start it with "fortunately resorts have repellent's for their guest's" Then you could use the example you gave. (with wingspanroaches of course) It's a long shot but it might be my computer it's acting really stupid I think I have to restart it I will be back in a few minutes.

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Wow that was annoying lol.. Alright

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Like this- Fortunately resorts have repellent's for their guest's that keep away bugs such as, wingspanroaches and flying palmetto bugs.

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

That's great. Do you think you'll be able to work with that to build the rest of the paragraph?

OpenStudy (destinyyyy):

Um I think so

OpenStudy (grimsnightmare):

Cool
