need help</p>
<p>one of my applications requires me to scan a graded and commented on analytical paper from an 11th or 12th grade english class and most of our work was creative writing stuffies</p>
<p>do research papers count as analytical papers?</p>
<p>An analytical essay has a thesis that is supported by body paragraphs.</p>
<p>That is about the broadest definition I can think of. A "research paper" is probably even more loosely defined. A research paper could be an analytical essay, but is not necessarily so. What was the research paper about?</p>
<p>if waterboarding is torture or not</p>
<p>it's more of a persuasion thing but i'm desperate</p>
<p>Did you do things along these lines?</p>
<p>-when a subject is chosen, take it apart, and examine each single part of it thoroughly;</p>
<p>-examine your subject in its historical context (if it is a painting, how is it connected to its epoch and artistic requirements?);</p>
<ul>
<li>discover the message of the subject (what did the author want to say in an evaluated book, for example);</li>
</ul>
<p>More importantly, do you have a thesis that makes a claim supported by body paragraphs and evidence? If yes to most of these I would say yes!</p>
<p>Yeah I was guessing it was probably persuasive but as long as it isn't a giant polemic I would think it would be okay. Of course it doesn't really matter what I think...:)</p>
<p>i think it's a no to the first three things and a yes to the rest
i'm so screwed</p>
<p>Ehh, those are just guidelines. The only non negotiable is the "thesis that makes a claim supported by body paragraphs and evidence?"</p>
<p>i dont know
i just have this feeling that it doesnt count as an analytical paper and that i'm just thinking that it might because i want/need it to because i'm out of options</p>
<p>thanks for the help</p>
<p>I don't think it's a massively huge deal if it doesn't follow the exact guidelines... for example, my paper was supposed to not exceed 5 pages and it was 5 and a quarter. Oh well.</p>
<p>Why don't you ask the college if your paper will be acceptable to them?</p>
