Luke and I have to write persuasive essays for english arguing some sort of point. I am writing about how John Lennon was more influencial than Paul McCartney, but thats not what I am here to get help on.
Luke doesnt know what to write about. He was going to do something about how mp3s will never replace conventional media; the teacher approved the topic. But when he showed her his thesis, she said he had no argument.
now hes lost and doesnt know what to write about.
Any suggestions for him? Thanks to anyone who replies!

I wrote one last semester arguing against the use of mandatory minimum prison sentencing, with my main focus on small-time drug offenders. I got an A on the paper, B+ in the class.
Would you like to *ehem* borrow it? (for examplitive purposes only of course ;)

I was originally gonna do it on why instant replay and play call challenges should be implimented into NCAA football, but it had to be 6-8 pages and I just couldn't find enough crap on the subject to write that much
mandatory minimums was much better, tons of good info out there
the Lennon/McCarney thing sounds like a fun argument to write a paper on, but is there enough info/facts on the subject so you can write a good full paper for the class?

Something on how an MP3 isn't tangible. You don't get the feeling like you do, say, holding a brand new peice of vinyl in your hand. Or picking up a brand new CD you see at the store. You don't go and 'buy' MP3's in stores. you don't support artists by getting them. How could thew relplace any media?
Hope that helps...

Yes and how buying MP3s lacks the "consumer therapy" eleement of a vinyl/cd spree.

lol, my friend argued that schizophrenia patients were really just exposed to a high knowledge and no longer found a use for our simplistic language or other forms of communications.

Write about the influence of the CTRL-ALT-DEL function on todays technological society.
My feeling is that it's the most defining factor in the evolution of the PC, and the sole reason that Microsoft is still in business.
Think about it for a moment...
