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
To open up to her major points, the author starts with introducing the main topic in a dramatic way. She begins with not naming what exactly she is talking about as well as sizing it up to have a negative connotation such as
The author expresses the difference between analyzing and summarizing simply by contradicting himself with the rest of the essay, because he mentioned he wants his papers to be arguable just as sports talks should be. Berube says that sports talks’ analogy is useful simply as a handy way of distinguishing between summary and analysis. “When a student paper cites textual evidence so compelling and unusual that it makes me go back and read passage in a question (good!) …”he quotes and a “suggests that a novel conclusion fails to resolve the questions and tensions raised by the rest of the narrative or makes claim that are directly contradicted by the literary text its self (bad!)...” (page 304) The significance of his point that “an observation is not a thesis means” because a thesis is usually an arguable piece of writing and in most cases factual and an observation is what is perceived by one at the moment meaning only you can base an opinion of what you just saw. In this paragraph Berube emphasizes his point on analyzing, summarizing, and sports talks.
Both Arkansas Tech and Arkansas State University Beebe are excellent colleges for students, but it depends on where the student wants to go. What makes each college so unique? Even though they are colleges but are different from each other in many ways. They have different campus life. College students may like ASU Beebe better than Arkansas Tech or others may like Arkansas Tech rather than ASU Beebe. Students living on campus report a smoother adjustment to college, become involved in organizations, participate in sponsored events and tend to have a higher grade point average.
In contrast to Jefferson, Bechdel does not explicitly list historical figures who promoted and worked for gay rights, but rather views her own life as teetering alongside and intermingling with national history, sometimes shaping it or welcoming its subtle influences into her life. For example, Bechdel describes how she has a “hallucinogenic memory of a throbbing welter of people in a large circle”—probably in Washington Square Park, where the Stonewall Riots had just occurred; she speculates on whether “a lingering vibration, a quantum particle of rebellion” might still have “hung in the humectant air” (Bechdel 104). Bechdel may not have been there for the riots or cited them as an active force in her self-realization, but these riots remind her of the reality of the newly born and
A piece of writing has little meaning if the overall topic is not compared to another work. In fact, any object in the world has this same philosophy. A golf ball, for example, has individual detail to it, but when compared to a basketball, it has an entirely new meaning and description. This concept is also appropriate when reading and analyzing literature. Whether this literature is analogous or extremely disparate to another, the reader’s perspective shifts. After reading “How to Pull an All-Nighter,” by Joshua Piven, David Borgenicht, and Jennifer Worwick, and The Economist’s “Higher Education: Not What It Used to Be,” I quickly noticed an interesting juxtaposition between the two. The first is a basic how-to that illustrates staying awake for the entire night. Whereas the second informs the reader about pressing issues concerning fiscal matters of college. Many books and articles such as these possess elements that help compose a unique piece of writing, including the intended audience, layout, and the ultimate purpose. Comparing and contrasting these two readings, some characteristics appear to be shared while others create a definite divergence between the two.
After the arrival of the Europeans, the Beothuk, who were typically coastal dwelling bands, were forced to move further inland in Newfoundland. This change in their natural environment affected their economic production. No longer able to have easy access to the coast and the food sources it provided, the Beothuk needed to increase their hunting of land mammals. Instead of fishing from their canoes, the Beothuk would create "deer fences" which would funnel the herding caribou, making them easier targets to use their bow and arrows. This change in their economic production also affected their demography. Having to adapt their way of gaining sustenance, their population began to decrease as a result. Without the variety and ease that coastal

Does the job of clearly defining the topic covered in the essay and the specific aspects which will be discussed. See in particular last sentence of introduction. ( We will be looking at the structure of introductions more specifically in another class. )
An introduction and conclusion are similar in numerous ways. In the sample essay, Can Medication Cure Obesity in Children, the last sentence of the introduction and the last sentence of the conclusion are similar. Both sentences identify numerous avenues to explore to find a cure for child obesity. In both paragraphs the author points out that medication is not a miracle cure for childhood obesity. An introduction and a conclusion both summarize what the essay is about.

Beriberi is caused by vitamin B1(thiamine) deficiency. Beriberi falls into two types: wet beriberi and dry beriberi. Wet Beriberi affects the heart and circulatory system. Dry beriberi affects the nerves, leading to a loss of muscle strength. Beriberi can be life threatening if not treated. If an individual has a diet composed of food rich in thiamine, it is unlikely they will get beriberi. Beriberi occurs mostly in individuals with alcoholism. Symptoms of beriberi include: difficulty speaking, mental confusion, pain, vomiting, rapid heart rate, short of breath, etc. The key nutrient that is lacking in beriberi is vitamin B1(thiamine). There are many foods that are rich in thiamine, such as: brown rice, oatmeal, kale, asparagus, potatoes,
Summary of “How to Say Nothing in 500 Words” In the essay “How to Say Nothing in 500 Words” by Paul McHenry Roberts suggests that there are seven tactics to improve an essay. First, Roberts advises that general content should not be used. This means that basic ideas would be brought up by others and the same bromide repetition. It’s best to try to expand the reasons of the thesis and make them original.
In the 18th century George Berkley created a philosophy based on perception in an attempt to combat the growing strength of materialistic science and the increasing disbelief in the Judeo-Christian God. Berkley’s philosophy is unique but ultimately flawed by his assumption of an immaterial world and his insistence on denying material existence. The logic of his arguments to assert his philosophical ideas seems valid enough on the surface, but his lack of more modern knowledge leads him to make assumptions which create great flaws in his philosophy.

Hansen goes on to explain how LSB does not want the performance to be taken seriously and the cultural implications of that (Hansen). The journal article reads like an academic blog. It was visually appealing with an employment of graphics and enough white space. The author has a clear thesis and includes citations which are especially important in the discipline of English. This visual design is key when viewing a piece of writing critically, as well as the traditional analysis one does rhetorically (Hocks 630). The rhetorical principles focused on at the graduate level are found in compelling, higher level writing in field of
