How do I stuff a paper?

[Massacure]

I have a five and a half page paper, but need eight pages total. Any tips for kind of stretching out my message?

1. Use 52 point font.

:D

2. write it on post-it-notes

3. What is the paper's subject

Maybe add quotations from your research materials?

4. Excellent idea.

I'm trying to explain the relevance of the "Lost Generation" using research and The Great Gatsby as a reference.

5. I am glad I could help.

properly cited direct quotes can be the best tools to make your point in research papers.

6. One more question.

Does the U.S. Constitution count as common knowledge or do I have to cite it?

edit: oh, and how would I cite it in MLA?

7. Not sure

I am most familiar with APA style guidelines...

I would err on the side of citing the constitution (example: U.S. Constitution. Art.II, Sec.2.)

8. did you throw in some crap about

the other generations? WWII, babyboomers, gen X, there's a book out there that coined the generation Idea, Has many generations prior to WWII and how they all cycle in 4 generation rotations, mostly out of rebellion for how they were raised. (you probably knew all that) after all it's your paper :)
