For $50.23, I bought Personality Theory: Freud and Erikson, by one Dr. P. McCabe (the only credited author on any of these papers. As best I can tell, the global stock of papers for sale is mostly actual undergrad stuff with a few items by hired guns thrown in). The writing style here was oddly mixed, with bad paraphrasing of textbooks—which is normal for a freshman—side by side with surprisingly clever and polished observations. Grade: a solid B. My other Paper Store paper was Typical Assumptions of Kin Selection, bought for $40.38. Again, a pretty good buy. It was well-written, accurate, and occasionally even thoughtful. My bio judge would give it a B in a freshman class. Possible pladar ping: The writer seemed to imply that some of his ideas stemmed from a personal chat with a noted biologist. But overall, the Paper Store earned its pay. A1Termpaper.com (aka 1-800-Termpaper.com): In some ways this is the strangest site, as most of the papers for sale were written between 1978 and 83. I would guess this is an old term paper source, which has recently made the jump to the Web. From its history section, I bought a book report on Garry Wills Nixon Agonistes for $44.75, plus a $7.45 fee for scanning all the pages—the paper was writtenShow MoreRelatedThe Grapes Of Wrath And Huckleberry Finn Analysis819 Words   |  4 Pageswhich life is fuller, better, happier and free.
