Bérube's Article Summary

Satisfactory Essays

Bérubé begins his article by using an analogy to explain how he wants his students to write their essays. The analogy is about students summarizing their essays and people watching sports. He argues that most students summarize when writing essays instead of analyzing them. He describes how when people watch sports they don’t summarize how the game is being played, instead, they analyze it, which is what he is wanting from his students. Bérubé encourages his students to write a thesis that attracts attention and is controversial, which is similar to a sports commentary. He also explains that they shouldn’t waste space by trying to write impressive introductions. Instead, they should be straight forward in their introductions. Bérubé’s article
