More problems...

This weekend, I have been doing a lot of work on my paper and have basically covered just about every argument and point that I would like to talk about in my paper. The main problem I'm having is length. My paper is currently 6 full pages, which is one page short of the minimum requirement. I feel like I could bring up maybe another argument that branches from a different one, but I'm afraid of it becoming irrelevant. I am going to the writing center tomorrow so I hope that they can help me out on that one. As for you at home, here's a sentence from my paper that possibly could be confusing:

The fact that such a logical person like Spock, who prides himself on his ability to think logically and use reasoning to conclude the best decision, can still fight his blood fever and try to do the right thing, is something that should be considered when dealing with humans.

This sentence sounds alright to me, but then again I wrote it in the midst of my paper and to someone else it could sound confusing. Let me know what you think of it and how (if needed) I could re-word it.

  1. The sentence is kind of confusing, but it may be because I do not know your topic at all. You could re-word it around and put more simpler words in it.

  2. If you need more material you could talk about how people (in general, not only during crimes of passion), have to negotiate logic/reason and emotion--Spock is a good example of that--especially in this episode.
