Here are some sinmple ways to make a short essay seem much longer.

1. always double space if u can
2. always use bold
3. try to pick a big font that teacher will accept. because some teacher will not take anything too rediculous. (I always use Comic Sans MS, its nice and big, and they always accept it.)
4. pick a good font size. some teacher will let u use up to 14. if u can use 14, take it, if u cant, use the biggest size they will exept.
5. widen margins. not too much, but just enough so they wont notice.
6. skip 2 lines between paragraphs
7. if all else fails, place two spaces between every word(instead one 1).


after doing all this, your half page essay will grow at least by at least one page.

also under font you can widen the space between everything and people usually don't even notice, but it does make it just a little bit longer, oh and you can use font 12.5, they'll never notice that either

IT's the content that matters.

True the content may matter, but what if u have very little content. and your teacher expects double what u have.

Then you obviously should have spent more time on your essay.

I usually use Courier New because all of the characters take up the same space.
