PostWed Oct 13, 2004 2:29 am    I need some help for my English assignment.

OMG! I am soooooooo stupid. I have had this English research project for about 2 months now, and I've only just started and it is due on Friday (today is Wednesday) and I'm totally confuzzled. It's about Richard III. I want to compare how Richard III put the needs of himself above the state to the Prime Directive. I have an idea of how I'm going to do this, but it's the Key Questions I'm stuck with.

My Topic is: Richard III; His needs outweigh the needs of the many, or so he thinks.

My Questions (so far):

1: How does Richard show his needs are more impartant than others needs?

2: How does this (Q1) show that Richard puts what he wants above the needs of the state?

3: How can this be prevented in the future? (this is where I'm going to talk about the prime directive)

Well my problem is I don't think those questions are worded correctly, or they could be worded better. So if anyone can give even a little advice, I would so appreciate it!!!

Cheers, and sorry to bother you.

BTW I'm a bit frazzeled as I have had 3 coffees in the last 1/2 hour

I think those questions are great... Hm. Wait... the second question do sound... well I'm not sure, I can't put my finger on it...
(I so wanted to help you, but I'm not the most suited to help someone with an english essay about Richard III, I suck at history I suck at english and I don't know anything about Richard III! )

Love that comparison with star trek bttw! What are going to say about prime directive?

Okay I don't need help anymore. My friend helped me. I'll tell you what I've got:

Topic: Richard III; His needs outweigh the needs of the many, or so he thinks.

Key Questions:

1. What is a Machiavellian Villain?
2. Shakespeare gives Richard III the qualitites of deciet, greed and manipulation. How does this shows he is a Machiavellian villain.
3. How does Richard III compare to a modern day leader; Spock?

Yeah. My teacher said that no one has probably ever done it before.
