Hand in the story itself as your essay. If your teacher doesn't get it call them a massive fucking spook and then drop out of school and kill yourself.

If it is a draft and want to buy more time, just insert a lot of quotes from the work you are studying and generally talk a lot about the story. The professor will correct and give you a lot of help.
Good luck!

1: figure out the shit your teacher wants to hear
2: "think in lists, write in prose". that was a fav of my prof that taught courses in academic writing
Brotherman, writing essays isn't a mystery.
Topic sentence, three argumentative sentences, and a concluding sentence. After that, make the topic sentence of your next paragraph connect to the concluding sentence of your previous one.
Repeat until, like, you have six pages or whatever the fuck.

You need to be good on your feet
>tfw just found out I can freestyle rap (with an irregular rhythm scheme) for two minutes and no prep-time as long as I'm stoned and have a good Mf Doom backing track
>don't even like hiphop, just poetry
