I was sitting at my computer, writing about the former Beatles' holiday songs and thinking, "this isn't really a classification essay". I mean I could make the argument that the Beatles are a classification and holiday songs are a classification, but it seemed more of a contrast essay, so expect to see this when I write my contrast essay. Anyway, I was sitting at the computer, complaining to my husband, "what can I do a classification essay on?" I read the assignment to my husband and he suggested I write it on peanut butter. Peanut butter?! Yes, he said, you like peanut butter, you eat it every morning. And, he reminded me, you are picky about what kind of peanut butter you will eat. Well, I'm picky about most things that go into my mouth. So I thought about it and decided, hey, this will make a great subject.
When I wrote my intro and outro and you said the outro sounded more like an intro, I decided to tweak it and add a little from the intro and voila, I had my subject. I was pretty happy with the paper; my husband helped me with some of the wording so it wouldn't be too redundent. I tend to use the word ubiquitous a lot if I can fit it in, because it is one of my favorite words, so we tried to vary it a bit. Anyway, this was one of my subjects that I really enjoyed writing.
And it worked very nicely, not always a ubiquitous outcome in ENG 101.
