Does anyone want to write my essay for me? It only needs to be 2,000 words!

[MarsLady]

Just a wee quote from Oscar Wilde 'Books are well written or badly written. That is all!' and a bit of debate about instrumentalism and astheticism. If you could relate OW's quote to a Katherine Mansfield story (preferably Miss Brill) and a couple of key passages from Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song... that would be perfect. Don't worry I'll sort the bibliography if that saves you a bit of time.

I'm just popping into the bath, so if you could just post your essays here so that I can cut and paste the best bits..........

Thanks!

now, if only you had taken dt2 off my hands....

Would love to Mars but I have to ....erm..... do something (frantically thinks of excuse)

I'll swap! You do mine on the atypical language acquisition of deaf children of hearing parents and what it can tell us about innateness and I'll do yours!

Just 3-5000 words, ramble on a little about their delay in spoken language, a bit on gesture creation and home signs and maybe end up with a bit on Nicaraguan Sign Language. There you go easy peasy.

Extra bonus marks for typing while bf with a baby who thinks its great fun to aim milk jets at mummy's laptop.

ok I have one on the limitations of a semiotic approach to representation on offer here

just explain the limitations using a discursive approach to frame the answer

if you could just summarize foucault's entire works in one paragraph that would help

TIA

I have 6000 words on the neurobiology of craving and drug seeking if anybody wants to do it for me. I should be doing it now

gordon bennett

mine isn't looking so bad now in comparison!

You lost me on the first line thre Molesworth, think I prefer MarsLady's!

you've got me intrigued about Nicaraguan Sign Language now indith

what's so special about Nicaraguan sign language?

Excellent! I'll expect yours when I'm out of the bath Indith.

And as to the rest of you pretending that your essays are anywhere near as important as mine........................

wow dusty! Have a friend did one on cannabis a while back....that was fun!

anyone fancy writing a 10,000 word dissertation? I can provide sources - all in readable English. Its on teaching children gender roles in early modern England.

Please

I meant to get it done before the easter hols as it is due in the on 19th April but since I have only written 1000 words so far thats not going to happen. I think its going to be a last minute dash up to Milton Keynes to drop it in.

basically it is pretty much the only example of the birth of a language. There was no sign language until the 1980s there as the deaf were in isolation and never interacted with each other. When they got them all togther in a school they just started to communicate and a new language was born which has become more and more refined as new deaf children have larned it as their first language. Makes for a good 'language is innate' example!

armadillo i had a nice email from a lady in swansea yesterday where they have an interdisciplinary approach to children's studies:

Basically, we are a newish department which focuses on the interdisciplinary study of children and childhood. At the moment we have a large undergraduate programme and a Masters degree in Early Childhood Studies (but other degrees planned). Essentially, we look at children and their lives through a number of different lenses and in relation to a number of different disciplines. So, for example, we offer modules on children?s health and welfare, their development, early language acquisition, education, gender acquisition, play, children?s rights, childhood across time and cultures etc etc. A number of these areas relate to our research interests ? I am currently interested in outdoor play and learning and alternative approaches to young children?s education (Reggio Emilia) while other colleagues are examining, for example, children?s participation, their use of IT, how they resolve playground disputes etc. etc

We also have within the university a new ?Centre for Child Research? which draws together all the academics working in different departments across the university under one umbrella and enables me to plan and undertake research with those working in the Schools of Medicine, Health Science, Environment etc ? it is so exciting!

Oh don't worry dusty mine was supposed to be in on Feb 22nd. Thankfully giving birth in January got me a few extensions

blimey, that sounds fascinating

better than that git foucault

what was yours on fio?

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!

The postman has just been and I got the latest edition of Sesame! How will I ever get my study done now. Clearly this mag needs to be read and then I have an oven to clean. Sigh.................

gah

that means I am obliged to go and check the post to retrieve my copy of sesame and read from cover to cover too

No! DOn't talk about procrastination! I am the queen of procrastination! Don't encourage me!

Saying that where the hell is dp wth ds? They have been out for ovr 2 hours now the little mite will be starving and I'm supposed to be meeting friends for lunch bfore attacking the scout hut cupboards at 12.30, he needs to giveme time to feed!

Damn you Mumsnet! I heard you calling me from the bath. But I will not give in.......... I will not give in..... I will not.............. I give in!

this is the thread that is currently keeping me from my studies! I must turn off. I must not refresh! But it's so "daft!" lol

same here

BUt then so would paint drying (I'm in one of those moods).

But today I have learnt that some people consider 'daft' a rude word . I never knew. That could save me some future embarassment.
