I was wondering if you guys have any techniques for righting reports.
I have a report that has to be like 2 pages long but I have so little information to right with! Im lucky and get to use a 14 size font biggrin.gif

How can I make it longer?! And I dont mean tricks like larger periods. rofl1.gif

I had to do a character-analysis presentation on two of the flattest characters in short story "The Destructors" (Joe and the lorry driver) last year, and most of it was analyzing their choice of words ("here here" instead of "hear hear" implies stupidity in Joe), how the others treated them (nobody paid Joe any attention), and what the story would've been like had they not been a part of it (the ending wouldn't have happened had there been no lorry driver).

Just try doing something like that. I would only use the editing tricks for a 2-page paper if there was absolutely nothing else to do.
