But you could if you felt like moving to Cali....

It's funny because a few weeks back I was traveling through SF and noticed realized I was passing right near their HQ.

Yeah, and you only need to make about $300k a year to be able to afford a house there...

I'm currently taking English 205 Comp II. I seem to be making this way too hard. I did Assignment 1 by supporting my thesis with 5 "pro" arguments, 5 "con" arguments, and rebuttals. I got a 5/5, so I think I did that part right. Now I am making the Annotated Bibliography, and it is blowing up. I have 15 claims because I have 5 pros, 5 cons, and 5 rebuttals to the cons.

Each claim needs a "scholarly" source with a 200-300-word description of why it is relevant, timely, and supports the point. In MLA format, that is 18 double-spaced pages for just the Annotations. 4500 words before I even start on the 2000-word essay. This is crazy. For example, a con argument would have the argument and a source that it is a con argument, and then my rebuttal and a source to the rebuttal.

I should probably use the same sources for the 15 arguments, which would mean using more than one citation from the scholarly works. If I use 3 arguments from each source, I would have 5 sources instead of 15. Maybe that is what I am supposed to do. I also don't know how a Works Cited page will fit into this essay. Perhaps it will have both an Annotated Bibliography and a Works Cited Page.

Does anyone know if my above summary is correct, or have I misunderstood the assignment?  I sent this question to study,.com two days ago, and have received no response from them. 4500 words of annotations for a 2000 word essay must be wrong.
