    Works Cited should be extra pages. Ten or fewer for the body of the paper.

    I'm sorry for some reason it shows symbols where the punctuations are when I post it and it takes off my indentions so it all looks jumbled

    The weird stuff is because you transferred it from a word processing program like Word. How long does the rough draft have to be?

    I will include those, I just haven't gotten there yet lol this is taking forever to write. And I guess no more than ten pages, like the final draft.

    In this house in the Bronx, Poe wrote "Annabel Lee" and "Ulalume" (not "The Raven") while the family cat sat on his shoulder. Virginia was dying of TB.

    So does it still look good to you?

    I don't know how you write, but it sounds a bit plagiarized ("too perfect"). I hope you are being careful. Keep writing. You are on page two now. (I'm saving it on my Word program.)

    You are basically doing a biography of him, so nothing new or exciting or interesting.

    Lol no, that's how I write. I'm always careful not to plagiarize. I have a dictionary and a thesaurus app on my iPod that I refer to a lot. I appreciate your honesty though because that's what I'm wanting :)

    Yea I guess that's true... Oh well. I just need this to graduate. I don't care if it's interesting, really lol

    I've written 40,000 papers through high school, college, and grad school, plus I was a librarian for 30 years. I like to think I know what I'm talking about. Can you jazz it up a bit and make it better than a biog? A thesis statement is going to be a difficult thing to pull together.

    Btw, it's two words -- "a lot."
