While reading Rachel essay, what I really enjoy from her paper was the way she wove in her quotes. The way she wove in her quotes through her sentences gave her to more structure as well strong evidence to back up her claim agreeing with the sources for her research. I would like to use that method into my writing because not only does it help your structure and seem easier to read when reading the argument, it flows with her writing, that is something I would like to implement into my essay. Rachel thesis was stated very clearly in her introduction which make it easier to understand reading through out here paper on her claims and why she felt New Mexico state University needed to make some changes with the student’s requirements.

Kolb and part of the what it discusses is how people define their learning space based on experiences(199)” this part confused me was there was no quotation marks so I had no idea if their Rachel words or the authors, as I continued to read it end with (199) which means it was a quote but I had no idea where it was starting from and where the research was coming from as well, since there was only numbers and not an author’s name. I think just going back and clearly that confusing that make the introduction have more structure and be a strong intro because the rest of the introduction was good in detail. I think the points in Rachel documented argument is being clear, the only trouble I had throughout the essay was she put little reminder like the end of her introduction “I decided not to ask for a full program, because there would be many more factors.” This sentence weakens her argument, because Rachel was a full program and

“I did eventually meet Deborah, who would turn out to be the strongest and most resilient woman I’d ever known” (Skloot 7). Deborah Lacks was the youngest of Henrietta Lacks’ children. Deborah grew up a profoundly religious black Christian in the South. She was raised in Clover, Virginia near a black neighborhood that was the most underprivileged and by the far the most dangerous in the country. Growing up Deborah struggled in school because, like her brothers, she couldn’t hear the teacher. By the time Deborah was thirteen she was already thinking about dropping out of school. Deborah’s insufficient education was due to the fact that she was abused as a child, lived her life in poverty, and was oblivious to the real
Eleanor Butler, more well-known as Irish Nell, was enslaved, as well as her descendants because back then, slaves were more or so treated as objects, “things” that if you were wealthy and one of the higher ups, owned. So, to put it simply, according to the government or the men who decided these kinds of things, if you loved, cared for, were related to or even acquainted with someone who was a slave, you “might as well” have sunk to lower standards, or you had no choice but to exist as one yourself. Eleanor carried pride and held on to courage and her dignity, something a lot of people did not part take in back then, and to really make sense of this whole situation of her marrying Charles, it was nothing more than natural, unconditional love.
If you lead the quote in, it will give your readers some background as to why you're going to be using this quote and how it could help prove your argument. It is also important to carefully think about how you integrate quoted material into your essays. If you simply just place the quote anywhere, your readers will think that you don’t know what you're doing and might not understand how the quote relates to your argument. When you properly integrate your quote into your essay, readers know exactly what the purpose of the quote is and how it relates to your argument. The Susan Bordo passage changed significantly between the two pages. On page 42, it seems as if the quote was just stuck in there for no reason. It was out of place and made it very confusing for the reader to even know what was going on in the quote and how it related at all to the argument. In contrast, the passage on page 44 “framed” the quote by giving plenty of background, introducing it, and then explaining how it related to the argument, making it much easier to follow along and understand the writer’s objective with the quote in relation to the argument. By “framing” the quote, it makes it easier to understand and connect the dots of the argument, making it much clearer to the reader as to what is going

I am able to use evidence to back up my ideas and prove my point. My writing this year has helped me grow in this area. I have learned about the different types of claims, like claim of value, fact, and policy, and different methods of arguing, like induction and deduction. I have used all of these techniques throughout my writing. When I am struggling with a prompt, like for my quotation essay, I look at it like an argument. This helps me make my purpose clear. A good example of my strength of argumentation is my paper on why schools should not have letter grades. In this essay, I used points and evidence to argue my claim. I also used a deductive method, meaning that I started with an observation and worked my way to a conclusion. This allowed me to effectively argue my claim and use evidence to support it. I know that I am good at writing an argumentative piece and I believe that it is my biggest

Just because you have stated your thesis and have given your opinion on the subject, does not suddenly make your opinion true. The body of your essay, which will contain your three arguments, is what will prove what you have already stated in your thesis. The number amount of your body might not always be three paragraphs, but the typical high school or college essay will be. Each of your three arguments, or main ideas, will be put at the beginning of each of your paragraphs. Write the Body Paragraphs states that you should, “Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence form. Next, write down each of your supporting points for that main idea, but leave four or five lines in between each point. In the space under each point, write down some elaboration for that point. If you wish, include a summary sentence for each paragraph. This is not generally needed, however, and such sentences have a tendency to sound stilted, so be cautious about using them. Once you have fleshed out each of your body paragraphs, one for each main point, you are ready to continue.” It is also important to keep in mind that while you are writing your essay that you want to try your best to try to keep from writing in first or second person. You want to try to maintain an objective voice while working and work on the paper by using third person. If you struggle with the habit of using “I think”, “I feel”, or “I believe”, than it is best to look over your paper before you turn it in to make sure that you get rid of those
Before starting to write, sketch out the essay instead of straightway writing it out. Make sure each paragraph is unified, and elaborate paragraphs using strong transition words to captivate the readers attention, this will allow the essay to flow more smoothly. In addition, it is important to note that the introduction is the most important paragraph in the essay to either hook the readers attention or loose it. Therefore, each individual paragraph should be focused on the idea of supporting the thesis statement
This title is not only intriguing and witty. It effectively plants the thought of writing in the reader’s mind. Immediately after reading the title I was curious to see what this essay would entail. The beginning takes you to a situation most everyone can relate to. This not only grabs the attention of the reader, but gives them a sort of personal connection to the writer.
I did not introduce the person effectively. For example, when quoting someone, one should write something such: as Balko points out that, he is upset with insurance companies (Balko). This example is in my own words and is an example of a paraphrase. I quoted people and then would not write what I thought about the quote afterwards. When doing this in an essay, the teacher has no way of knowing what the student is trying to convey. A proper quote should start with an introduction. After the introduction, you have to say what the person has said, followed by what you think about what they said. After doing this, a student should cite the author by using parentheses. I did not know that a writer was supposed to do this. My first paper was very inadequate.
