So my final paper is due Monday (Yay..) + I'm just about done with my essay ... but I SUCK
at Intros and Conclusions .... they always end up sounding the same, and un-flowing (unlike my
actual content which I find really good ^__________^)

My paper is entitled "On Loving Korea as a Non-Korean" -- I explained in my essay about how I
became interested in Korea (Guys, Culture) + How loving Korea is looked upon from both Koreans +
Americans ....

Can someone help me with Intro/Conc ideas?

Also, I need a 3 source Biblio ... but this is "MY" story ... what am I supposed to write as sources?
My friends?

Well, start your intro with a story of some sort, some way to hook your audience. When did you first get interested in Korea? Just the very first time you can remember, what was significant about it, why did it change who you are? Hook people in, tell a story, relate it in a very personal way. Then give a sort of brief overview sentence (your thesis) and create a rough outline of your essay. This way you've brought your reader in withOUT just saying "this is what I'm going to talk about" then you've given them some logical structure to follow, so they don't get lost or confused.

I suck at conclusions, so not too much help there... usually I try to finish with a follow up story, something that happened a little later down the line that relates similar to the original story, like a follow up. That makes it feel more complete, like a full story, something that's well rounded.

Hope it helps =)

well for the Biblo, part you can't really put anything down if you didn;t use anything.
However, it doesnt really sound like a sociological paper...

any ways what you can do is find scholarly sources on Korean culture and how they treat/ react towards foreigners to make it less autobiographical... and more scholarly?

but if you used your friends, and your citing in MLA,
