STUPID RESEARCH PAPER!!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT???????!!!!!!!

I HATE RESEARCH PAPERS!!!!!!!!! I know that for the rest of my life I am going to be writing papers. I mean I want to be a Police officer so all you do is go somewhere, do research on what just happened, and then write a report about it but at least that has a purpose. I think that the major problem that I have encountered is lack of enthusiasm and drive to write this paper. My thing that I have always had about writing research papers for English classes is that I have never cared. English has always been my least favorite class and it also has been my hardest class because I hate it so much so when I am given a research paper in those classes I hate it. At least this one could be partially interesting but the worst is when we get papers that want us to analyze the rhetorical devices in some work. WHO CARES! That is why I have always hated English classes because I don’t see the point of analyzing Hemingway’s use of imagery. So all of that has contributed to a few bumps in the road with this paper but I will say that it is awesome that we were at least able to write on something that prevalent to our lives.
I guess my final question is how many sources total do we need?
