i have to write a 4-6 page paper about the life of Abbie Hoffman due like 5 hours ago, but my teacher said he'll let me email it to him by tonight. so anything anyone knows about him would be a great help.

Never heard of him (Are you sure Abbie is a him?) but search google and wikipedia.com. On google you might look for a timeline for him if he's important enough to have a few sites with information about him.

oh, i'm sure its a him. i know some stuff about him but not enough to fill 5 pages.
he was an activist during the civil rights movement and during the Vietnam war
he used the media as the key to his demonstrations.

he was that guy in the flag shirt in Forrest Gump he kept saying "Viet-fucking-Nam"

You might try giving a LOT of background information on what was going on around him that caused him to do what he did.

Wow... Good luck with that. why couldnt do it on someone cool like Willy Wonka? just use a lot of descriptive words, and type the words "The" and "Uhhh..." a lot. that should do it.

Abbie Hoffman was "cool" he stood up for what he believed in and was part of the first attempted revolutions since we declared independence from britian.

and thanks for that but this is serious stuff to me. the only reason i didnt have it done earlier is because i just have so much shit going right now, sorry if i was rude.

naw it's cool. I know how that goes. i dunno if this is much help, but register at Welcome | gigapedia.org (u have to register to have access to the books) and search for books about that era, or revolutions, or history... ect. it's a massive online media collection, last year i found a few of my text books from there.
