Loss has everything to do with writing a research paper. It starts with a loss of words when no one knows which word to choose. Then there's a loss of money because you had to fill up your car to go to the Auburn Library and make tons of copies of your research. Upon submission of the thesis, the loss of words returns with the disappearance of the reason why the word is important. With etymology most students are completely lost because, despite having received a crash course in how to read the Oxford English Dictionary, they have no idea what they are reading. At this point the students began to work on the paper, but all the sources suffered a loss of meaning and the students returned to the library. With the paper being delivered in a week you experience many different types of losses: loss of social life, loss of sleep, loss of patience, and loss of sanity. When the paper is finally finished, students will experience one final loss: handing in the research paper for final judging. Loss is a disappearance. Loss is an inevitable part of life. The Oxford English Dictionary defines loss from many different directions. From blood loss and war to tennis and finances, all the different definitions imply that something is going away. Loss sometimes implies that things do not return, like life, and sometimes that they do return, like car keys. But the overall loss is the disappearance of something or someone that may or may not return. The word loss originates from three similar words: loose, lost and lose. This word in the Germanic languages ​​began with lausa which means "the breakthrough of an army". Then it changed to Lyien, which meant “to loosen, to untie, to loosen.” Next was leusanan meaning “to lose”. By the 12th century... middle of the paper... inevitable. Whether trivial or life-changing, loss is an opportunity for change. Works Cited William Blast. Surviving James Dean. Foot. Lee, New Jersey: Barricade Books, 2006. p.5, 7. Print.Horyn, Cathy.
