Kenneth Said:

My teacher for summer homework wants me to write a report on how my summer is a triumph and a tragedy???

We Answered:

I would start with a hook, such as: "The summer turned out to be even stranger than I had anticipated" or something like "Who knew summer would turn out the way it has!" so the reader wants to keep reading about your summer. Then give a little bit of background about your summer, and put your thesis statement: Despite my attitude, this summer ended up being a contradiction of triumph and tragedy:

Then jump into your next few paragraphs.

Your conclusion can then be a summary of the triumphs and tragedies with a concluding sentence that maybe relates to your introduction to make it a complete circle.

Good luck. Sounds like you're well on your way if you have the middle parts worked out.

We Answered:

Triumph = What happened to you this summer that was really amazing, changed you in some way, helped you, benefited you

Tragedy = What happened to you this summer that was not a good experience, something negative, upsetting


You could relate it to like Romeo & Juliet or something. The good things you experienced this summer represent triumph or romeo meeting juliet. The tragedy began when (turning point) the negative things affected you somehow or when romeo felt like he could not be with juliet (ended up killing himself)

You can research why this Shakespeare play is considered a tragedy and then relate it to your summer.

How do i search for a primary article for my Amylase enzyme lab report?

We Answered:

For this you will want to find some primary research, so the best place to look is your school or college library. They will probably have a periodical search engine where you can find the specific article you are looking for. You could try the American Chemical Society, or try looking online for some peer-reviewed journals and searching for your article that way...Good luck! Finding a good, reliable article is almost always the hardest part of the assignment!! :)

Tom Said:

If I wrote an article about a newly-released report, would the report itself be considered a primary source?

We Answered:

It most certainly would be - and it would be the most up to date information available. So it would be a great primary source.
