So I've started my paper

[Meneldil]

Honestly, that sounds like a huge topic. How long is your paper supposed to be?

I never divided any of my essays into independent chapters with subtitles, etc. In all honesty, I see this merely as an excuse to replace an essay's proper organization.

That's a typical continental Europe thing. I know it's a basic requirement in France and from what I've been told, Germany and Italy too. I'm pretty sure it's the same in Hax' country.

Edit : And as Fragony pointed out, I think you need to find a topic, what we frenchmen call a problematic. I'm not sure what are the expectations in high school, but later on, you will have to ask a question, and work your way to an answer. Papers usually have to answer something, to validate or invalidate an hypothesis. Hence why the whole first part seems a bit off the track.
