Could I write a 5000 word essay on the history of el clasico?

Absolutely. El Clasico is a great and illustrious competition worth more than 5,000 words.

If you can write a 5000 word essay on a war, you can write a 15000 word essay on el clasico.

Reconstruction/Carpet Baggers How Lincoln's assassination effected identical. How Reconstruction policies, in Lincoln's absence, led to a Jim Crow South (and significant portion of the North) for 100 extra years. Just a few ideas which can be a bit of "off the map" which teachers revel in studying much more than the canned ones. Watch "long past With the Wind." significantly.

yes you probably can, El Clasico isn't a normal match between two rival teams, it's a unique battle. Both teams being the best and on top of the world, there's always something special in the matches.

Yes, it'd be pretty easy. In your essay you could cover:

-history of Madrid the city and club

-history of Barcelona city, club, Catalan heritage

-titles won by each club

-famous players from each club

-head to head stats and records

-feuds and fights between the clubs (transfer scandals, brawls between squads, etc.)

And there's much more, but these are just some sub topics that came to me

yeah because not only are there so many games to write about there's the history of both clubs (which there's loads of) and the atmosphere bewteen the 2 sets of fans and the contrversy in old fixtures, so there would be plenty for an essay

easily, you could include about the catalans and their fight for independence and how they use el classico as a platform to broadcast there message. this was illustrated in october 2012. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRuz2PzaVcE&feature...

they chose the time because 16:14 into each half was the last time they were fully independent.

Like my english teacher always used to say, if you use the Statement, Example, Explanation method, you can write as many words as you want.
