    For one of my classes, I need to write two essays. I just don't know what to write. Can someone help me please? I don't wanna plagiarize someone else's ideas, but my head feels so empty...
    This is what I wrote so far:
    The Utopian ideas in the modern times

    “Looking Backward” is obsessed about the idea of the world that is perfect and Utopian.
    Bellamy talks about the perfect world in which women, men, and children are equal.

    How can I continue this essay?
    I love FST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How can I continue writing this crap? Look:

    The feelings of depression about our current world order and longing for the New World Order
    “Looking Backward” by Bellamy, “A Short History of America” by Crumb, and “The Second Coming” by Yeats imply that the authors of these things feel depressed about what's going on in our world. They long for the New World Order.

    “Looking Backward” is obsessed about the idea that when the New World Order comes, only Utopian societies will exist.
    Bellamy's protagonist who still lives during the Old World Order is wealthy, but upset by the fact that workers constantly fight with their employers, trying to improve their living conditions. The protagonist hates the fact that he lives during the times in which there is so much suffering and he probably feels guilt because he's rich. He probably thinks the world will never change and that the world will result in anarchy later on. He has insomnia and depression because he subconsciously want to die. He subconsciously feels he needs to change the world.
    When he comes to the future, Dr. Leete tells him that the Old World Order was replaced with the New World Order and there was no violence when this change occurred:: “there was absolutely no violence. The change had been long foreseen. Public opinion had become fully ripe for it, and the whole mass of the people was behind it” (Bellamy).
    Yeats uses metaphors when he says certain things. For example, when he says “The falcon cannot hear the falconer” (Yeats), he probably wants to tell us that people, who are symbolically represented by “the falcon”, don't want to be a part of the Old World Order anymore. The Old World Order is symbolically represented by “the falconer”. Even though Bellamy has a dream that the whole mass of people doesn't have any disagreements on how society should make a transition to the New World Order and is not confused about the kind of change that should come, Yeats says that “the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity” (Yeats). Yeats probably thinks that people can't agree with each other because their beliefs divide them, but in Bellamy's mind, there is no such division between people because the common enemies which are hunger, cold, and nakedness unite them: “ “And, in heaven's name, who are public enemies?” exclaimed Dr. Leete. “Are they France, England, Germany, or hunger, cold, and nakedness?” “ (Bellamy).
    Unlike Bellamy, who dreams that the Old World Order makes a non-violent transition to the New World Order, Yeats probably thinks such a transition will happen through violence: “The blood-dimmed tide is loosed” (Yeats). Yeats also probably thinks that before the New World Order comes into existence, there will be anarchy in the world: “things fall apart; the center cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world” (Yeats). In Bellamy's dreams, there will never be anarchy before the New World Order comes.
    Bellamy has more faith in people than Yeats does. Bellamy believes that a secular force consisting of people only will make the transition to the New World Order possible, but Yeats believes that people need the help of a higher power before such a transition occurs, and in Yeats' mind, that higher power is Jesus Christ who will return to us: “Surely the Second Coming is at hand” (Yeats).
    In Bellamy's dreams, the completely Utopian future is the only outcome the New World Order can produce, but Yeats feels there might be a fight between Jesus Christ and someone that has a “lion body and the head of man” (Yeats). Yeats feels this beast with a lion body may overcome Jesus in the fight and if he does, there will be no bright future for people when the New World Order comes.
    I love FST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have a question on grammar usage. I wrote "fight with their employers" in the essay, but maybe "with" is unnecessary here. Should have I said, "fight their employers"?

    That's a fair question. Webster's dictionary uses the example for fighting (as against) and includes the word. See the first example:

    Given what I know about Yeats, which is extensive, and about The Second Coming in particular, which is like catechism to Irish poetry scholars in general, you are a fucking spastic.

    A really, really hopelessly ingrained remedial, mentally deficient excuse for a human. If I was your tutor I'd slap seven shades of stupidity out of you with the nearest sappling at hand. Kill yourself or plagiarize. The choice is yours.

    Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

    I just made that up.

    Of course some fires are infernos and some are a bunch of damp moss smoldering away into nothingness. Draw your own conclusions here.

    I just made that "damp moss" bit up too.
    Respect my lack of authority.
