I have to answer the 15 prompts my professor has given me in essay form (the prompts and more detailed instructions are in the uploaded files). I would like the essay to be less than 2 pages long, these are the instructions my professor gave me.
There are approximately 15 prompts.
The first 9 prompts would require one sentence each to answer. Prompt #10 is required to be answered in one sentence.

Please do not use Wikipedia as a source or a website that has a Godfather essay you (the writer) can use as a reference. The essay needs to be 100 percent written by the writer, plagiarism free.
