You are complaining that you need at least 6-8 pages? I would complain that I only get 6-8 pages to cover such a vast and extensive topic. I have had to write a couple papers in my junior lit class so far, and each I have gone too in depth and by the 4/5th page I knew I was screwed because I would go over. Also what pisses me off is that we HAVE to double space it and write in 12 font. I mean let me just leave it single spaced and size 8 font with 7 pages.
I also seem to do this in our standardized state tests a lot in writing and then have to go back and erase some of my best made points just because its too long and I don't have enough time to rewrite.
You shouldn't be complaining, I know you contain enough intelligence in your cranium that you can easily write a whole book on philosophy. To me it seems that you just do not care much for philosophy therefore just not wanting to put the effort into making it a great paper.
