Before my day went to total shit, I was grading papers. I pick up papers just, you know, off the stack in the order they are.<\/p>\n
First paper thesis: Sodas are bad for you. It’s a whole paper just scaring you about how bad sodas are for your health. “Fair enough, they are kind of bad,” I said. I commented on the paper, “No citations!,” and moved on to the next one.<\/p>\n
Second paper thesis: Energy drinks are bad for you. All kinds of health problems and issues, blah blah blah. Similar format. “Well, alright, that is a common sort of idea, sure,” I thought. I graded away. “No citations!” Next paper!<\/p>\n
Third paper thesis: Sodas are bad for you. Again. Clearly different paper, of course, but same topic, similar points.<\/p>\n
I look ahead. “Okay, thing about bottled water next, then… energy drinks again.”<\/p>\n
