The document discusses the process of academic writing. It outlines four main steps: creating (pre-writing), planning (outlining), writing, and polishing. For each step, it provides sub-steps and examples to illustrate the process. The pre-writing step involves choosing a topic, generating ideas, and making sublists. The planning step is about writing a topic sentence and outlining. The writing step applies the outline to an initial draft. Finally, the polishing step revises, edits, and finalizes the copy.

tells the simple story of Halloween
Town’s most famous citizen, Jack
Skellington, and his desire to bring
the colorful joy of ChristmasTown to
the Halloween town.
 Like many of Burton’s misfits and
outcasts, Jack’s actions, such as
kidnapping Santa Claus and
hijacking his gift-giving route, may
be questionable, his intentions are
always sincere.
 The owners of the franchise have
undertaken an extensive marketing
campaign of these characters across
many media.
 The Nightmare Before Christmas is
intended for both the kid and adult
in everyone. It's not just child's play
for the holidays; it's a movie about
how to be truly happy in a tough
world, saying that all you need to do
is just be exactly who you
are, without compromise.
 The filmmakers constructed 227
puppets to represent the characters
in the movie, with Jack Skellington
having "around four hundred
heads", allowing the expression of
every possible emotion.
 The film earned $50 million in the
United States on its first theatrical
run.

of the soundtrack was
released, featuring a bonus disc
which contained covers of five of
the film's songs by Fall Out

Nightmare Before Christmas as
either a short subject or 30-minute
holiday television special.

Skellington.

6.  The Nightmare Before Christmas
has been viewed with critical and
financial success. Disney has
reissued the film annually under
their Disney Digital 3-D format

purpose in life -- to look beyond
the accolades of his peers, the
achievements of his years, and
the praise of his ego.

company decides that his
success is boring and he wants
the company to have a different
