The Little Seagull Handbook, by Richard Bullock, Michal Brody, and Francine Weinberg, is a book full of advice on the writing process. The book is divided up into sections which help’s students to easily find the topic they are searching for. Section W-4e on opening and closing paragraphs was used to improve my conclusions. I do not have a lot of trouble with conclusions, but I feel that mine do not fit as smoothly into my essays as they should. Therefore I decided that I needed to improve my conclusions. The section lists out several tactics to form a conclusion, such as, summarizing the essay, discussing implication of the essay’s argument, and giving a call to some kind of action. Reading the section has given me several ideas for how to end an essay. Now I can either plan which tactic to use ahead of time or

In his essay, Kessel has both strengths and weaknesses in his writing. Some strengths are that Kessel uses lots of evidence and with insightful details. Some weaknesses though are his faulty logic and exaggeration. Overall, in Kessel’s essay, the strengths won over the weaknesses creating an effective persuasive essay.

As as result of the relocation of people from England to Australia, it turned Australia into the land of opportunity and made for a better world. It benefited England and the world for many reasons such as securing trade routes with China. The movement of the convicts also spread fear among english society deterring crime. Furthermore, some of the convicts were fortunate enough to the opportunity to live and potentially earn their freedom. Crime rates rose and England's jails become overcrowded with prisoners they resorted to using prison hulks as temporary, makeshift confinements on the river Thames eventually leading to the penal transportation to Australia.

In “Bring back flogging” Jeff Jacoby argues that corporal punishment should be brought back into our justice system because imprisoning criminals is taking up too much of tax payers money and criminals learn how to become better criminals in prison. He uses statistics, facts, and quotes to help support his claim that our justice system is sub par and does more harm than good to taxpayers and even criminals. Even though Jacoby makes a good point the essay fails to include ethos and pathos making it ineffective. Although he supports what he says with hard facts and statistics he fails to gain an emotional connection with the readers nor does he establish his credibility. Logos is important in an essay because readers are more capable of making

My strengths in this essay, I believe, are in not just analyzing the information that Solnit provides, but in also analyzing the effect that this information has on the readers. My final body paragraph details both the logical and the emotional responses that Solnit brings up in her audience. Additionally, I feel that I was successful in tying all of the analysis that I supply back to Solnit’s purpose in writing the essay. It is easy to look at the context and the substance of an essay, but to relate it all back to the author’s goal in writing it is what shows that you have a fuller understanding of the work.

This assignment asked students to construct a summary and to synthesize a response to the various points of view included in the readings. I selected the chapter that addressed the value of a college education. Writing effective and analytical summaries is always a challenge, but as I worked on the assignment I could see how this process is really important to developing an argument in objective terms. In other words, deciding what I thought about a topic and then finding research to support my ideas is not an effective way to complete good research. Instead, good research consists of looking a variety of opinions and then drawing conclusions about what arguments were most compelling. Moreover, using APA style forced me to look closely at the timeliness of the different essays and to consider how opinions shift over time.

To conclude, I really like this essay, the topic is very interesting because not everybody knows this information. However is for 2004. It has really good evidence, but I think it needs more of persuading. Also, I think this essay is not well organized. I think that it needs more personal

But because of transitions between paragraphs and structure of sentences, it also lacks in clarity it jumps with transitions of governments with Arab countries and the Persepolis but, has well thought out examples and tries hard to make the audience convinced of their thinking. It shows minimal Citations but the MLA format is not correct, it is not double spaced and not in the correct order. It has a good theme though, to compare the Persepolis to and has enough supporting 4-8 paragraphs. I agree with the essay that the Iranian Government does not want peace they want war, it’s all about power and killing people instead of making peace or actually thinking about their citizens and what they are going through. It made me really look at other countries and think would I want to live there? What if I dress wrong, or say something wrong will I be jailed. I really believe in freedom and the rights to make my own free choices, so I can relate to Marjane who was being required to do and say things she did not remotely believe in. Also the last sentence in their essay shows good insight and a good choice for a kicker and concluding sentence describing quotes from Winston Churchill which has enough evidence to show what the writer

Be aware that every essay is guided by the perception of the person who wrote it. It is virtually impossible to be completely impartial and objective towards everything we analyze. Our life history continuously shapes us into thinking and acting the way we do; the place where you were born, the childhood we experienced. It all has an effect on our decision making process. Even our sex: male or female. Everything makes a difference in perception.

Conclusion section is also an example of weak writing and abrupt ending. In my opinion, this article lacks good writing, strong facts, graphs and
