It's ridiculous to have a minimum word count on papers like this.
500-750 words should be more than enough to get into detail about a novel for a high school paper. Setting an arbitrary minimum accomplishes nothing except to force the average student to include a lot of filler and BS just for the sake of reaching the minimum.
This isn't a freaking newspaper; your teacher isn't looking to fill space on a broadsheet. It should be about writing a quality paper in as many words as you need.
