Is anyone willing to help me with annotating a passage?

Ask me to pm you the passage if you want to help.

Why don’t you just post the passage in question here and let the collective help you?
Some of us may not want to correspond via pm. Also, if this is a homework assignment you need to do the work yourself. If you post the passage we can suggest notes or other reference material related but this shouldn’t be too hard for you to accomplish on your own.

@Coloma, it was posted to begin with. It was a very long passage, an entire chapter from a book. The OP never explained what he or she meant by “annotate,” and I didn’t read the passage, but to me it looked a lot like homework.

@Jeruba I see, the “passage” was, in reality, an entire chapter and the OP wants someone to do their homework for them. Kinda what I figured. haha

@TheSpiderWeb if you have questions about how to annotate, or strategies for annotation, etc., I’m sure there are people on Fluther who would be very happy to provide some ideas. I’m not sure anyone’s going to simply annotate the passage, though—at least, not without more of an explanation why.

Fluther has a policy about homework questions that is more or less what people have said—you can always ask for help understanding a homework problem (and we are quite happy to help!) but people won’t simply give answers.

I don’t know reason behind such questions showing up every now and then on Fluther. I haven’t seen this on other QnA sites which I’m part of.

It is not a homework assignment because I left school/college many years but I have gotten into annotating stories. Call it a hobby.

The chapter that I posted had some annotations that were in brackets but I still need help.

I meant annotate as in analysis and summarize.

We can have a look if you post it as a question.

Jeruba's avatar

Hmm, interesting thought. We don’t often have someone ask us to do their hobbies for them.

@Jeruba Is anyone willing to come weed my flower beds today? LOL

It is more of a ‘see I am on the right track’ question and I will post the passage again but I will shorten it.

@TheSpiderWeb Just an idea I had: you might start out the question by looking for people who have read the same text. (I know you mentioned the book in the beginning of your previous question). They’d have a better context to understand the specific passages you want to consider. We’ve got many the well-read jelly on here, I’m sure there will be some matches!
