YNRA 1,082 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 ok so I have a paper due tonight and it's not so bad its around 1500 words its a history paper on this slavery book yada yada and i did a shorter paper on the same book like a month ago but the issue is that the ebook i had been using has crashed or something and it wont let me use it and its been like that since yesterday so idk what to do!!!! the book itself costs like $40 and im not about to shell out that much money just to buy the book for this essay!! and i searched everywhere for a free version or something and found nothing but shady dl links i dont want to use because i dont want a virus or something now last time I did an assignment on this book I only skimmed it and it was a while ago so I dont remember any details but if it all goes to crap i might had to bs as much as i can and pretend to cite the book based on the little i remember. what would you do if you were in this situation? what should I do???

Dovah Bitch 1,152 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Use points from the original essay to make it seem like you read and bullshit the rest with filler... Can you find sparknotes or something on the book? Or ask a friend in the class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kstarnet 1,502 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Go search on internet regarding the topic. If your lecturer really need sources from books, just use google books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic 6,901 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Maybe read articles that were released about the book and try to merge some of them together to find your points (although be subtle cause you know... plagiarism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkyho 646 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Stuff like that are available on the internet everywhere, just search for a few summaries on the book's chapters and try to make the best of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaVandercunt 19 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I had the same book for my civil rights history class, along with Taylor Branch's The King Years. Just fake it, use the ideas from your first essay and expand on them. Do whatever you have to do to finish this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
