    Plz help

    So I'm currently working on my senior project for ma school, and I chose the car as my topic. I need to answer the questions How is it used? and How does it help to make a difference?

    i can answer these on my own, but we have to have legitimate sources that include an author. does anybody know any websites that can provide me with the information i need. ive searched and searched but i cant find any straight up sites.

    PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP

    I would start with The origin of the automobile.

    From there, talk about how it made life easier for work and commuting. Make a note of all the advances, patents, etc.

    You clowns have it easy now. There are some of us who had to go this place called 'The Library' to do our research.

    just google for a timeline....they always hit the high points and google some quotes and just make sure you use good notations and have a bibliograpghy hate to see a good weeks worth of paper get thrown in the trash due to plagerism.....this is coming from a brits lits TA lol GL!

    btw does it have to be in MLA format or is it your project? if so just ccreate your own timeline and put it on a posterboard with some glitter...glitter always seems to rack in the points

    Tyler The only Library you've ever stepped into is off 6th and Houston. Welcome to the Library Bar in Austin, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Minneapolis, & The Eagles Nest Sports Bar in La Crosse.

    haha i did something similar for a paper in college. Was like 15 pages, i believe i broke it down into 'history, naturally aspirated, forced induction, and hybrids' we actually had a few really old books at the school library that helped a lot.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    ya it has to be MLA. Right now I don't need a timeline, i'm just typing the research paper for now.

    whatever topic we choose has to be written around the theme "Making a difference"

    online college libraries are the best places to search. Also talk about the impact it had on what it replaced, the horse.

    Not sure if you have heard of this before but if not its VERY helpful with MLA type papers will almost always save your butt.......EasyBib: Free Bibliography Maker - MLA, APA, Chicago citation styles

    if you use it it pretty much prompts you through everything on using quotes and cite's so you can just gather all your data from google links and create the bibliograpghy there and layout your paper however you please!
