What is the best way to lengthen an essay? I have one due in 5hrs and I need it to be 1000 words but I'm only at 673.

I found this way helpful.

Explanation:

Whatever it is you are writing about I would try to give additional info like try to be very explanatory on that subject, giving facts describing it with intricate/longer sentences.  (basically, lengthen it by adding more detail and explanations)

answer: common sense was the pamphlet that thomas paine used to convince reluctant americans to abandon the goal of reconciling with britain and to accept that independence was the only option to preserve their liberty.

edmund spenser and john bunyan also influenced hawthorne. : )

i hope this you with your work : )
