Step #4: Evaluating an Argument Peer Review
Instructions: Please answer each question in detail. I expect at least three to four sentences per question.

Does the author present the issue in his or her introduction? Suggestions?
I think their intro is pretty decent. It starts off qith a questions then goes on to answer them. Starting off with a catching question is a good start in my book.
Does he start from general information and move to specifics? Suggestions?
I believe so. They starts off with a broad " you shouldn 't eat meat" kinda topic but shows why a vegetable life style might be a profitable one. However, I would like to see some outside sources of the author. I would like to know a little more about Laurel Gladden and what their

It feels a bit scattered and doesn 't feel like it is in order. Your paragraph about his information is fine but I think it needs to be orangized.
Does the writer introduce the article’s name, the author’s name, and the main point/argument of the article? Is it effective?
Yes, this part was very clear. It 'll be nice is his essay was illtiaze; but, it 's fine so far. Just try and add more details on the suthor themselves,
In the thesis, does the writer argue whether the argument is developed well/effective/convincing, rather than the argument itself? Suggestions?
I feel like there is not a clear thesis. There is clear topic sentence but the thesis needs some work. It needs more a firm stances on why they support the author. It feels mor elike a run-on sentence than a thesis. Does the writer argue about the how effective the argument is rather than agree or disagree with the point? Please provide specific feedback about the thesis.
It is effective, they do explain their reason on why they support the author. In a strange way they should shorten a bit. Try and cut down your thesis to clearer points or add some

Suggestions?
Yes, I do like how simple and straight-forward the topic sentences. I do believe they needs two quotes to futher support their topic sentences. Other than that, good jon.
Is there clear and strong analysis after each quote? Suggestions?
Basically, but I do think they really need more quotes. All of paragraphs are really well concrete with the topic setences, though they needs to add some concluding sentences. Also, please add more quotes.
Does the writer explain why he or she chose this particular quote? Does the explanation connect back to the thesis? Does it all connect back to the idea of the argument being effective and convincing or not? Please provide specific feedback about the paragraph development.
This goes with concluding sentences and needs more explaintion per quote. Some paragraphs only came with one sentences after the quote. Needs some major inflation.
Does the writer have a conclusion that restates the thesis and gives a final thought? Please provide specific feedback about the conclusion and its

    In the first article a few main errors really strike me after the first, then second read of the paper. The thesis of a paper should present the topic of your paper and also make a comment about your position in relation to the topic. This being so, the writer does not go into detail about the specific rhetorical choices made by Jaschik. The lack of a clarifying thesis makes the paper seen jumbled, almost as if crucial information is randomly spliced throughout the piece. The second issue I noticed is that within the body paragraphs themselves, the same information seemed to be repeated over and over again, each time using a new arrangement of words.…

    List of sentences which we suggest you should consider to rewrite to improve readability of the text : In No Lunch Left Behind by Waters and Heron, published in the New York Times, they discuss how spending for lunches is being put towards things in the actual cafeteria; for example the air conditioning and refrigeration. This idea of not eating the school lunch is mirrored in Waters and Heron’s article where they indicate that the school lunches are not healthy and delicious which is most likely making kids avoid school lunches. This does help towards the amount of fruits and vegetables a child should be eating per day but only providing one, and small, item is not beneficial towards a student's health.…

    During the writing of my “Fahrenheit 451” and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” Analysis, I began by first, thinking out my ideas, to put together an essay that would be understandable to myself, the people reviewing my essay, and lastly, my teacher. You are needing a thesis to get your point situated right in front of the readers’ eyes so he or she doesn’t get bewildered while reading. In almost any standardized essay however, your maximum length for a thesis is at most, needing to be one sentence. Even though, you're evidently going to need to write more to get the introduction that is impeccable, but simple.…

    Based on My Essay 2 work, the comments or feedbacks help me to improve for the next essay which is the Research Paper. It helps me to build my essay into a great one compared to my two essays that I have been done in this course. I learned that I should not stick into one side. For example, in my Essay 2, I should have given pros and cons not just only one side because I mostly give pros and not cons. This is like where I need to balance the arguments between each side.…

    I chose the "Now We Can Begin": What's Next? essay written by Crystal Eastman. The purpose of this essay was for the author to write about women’s freedom and show how women were not treated as equals when compared to men. I believe the thesis statement in this article was, “Now they can say what they are really after; and what they are after, in common with all the rest of the struggling world, is freedom” (Eastman). Lay out the structure of the reading to the class, and let the class know if this structure is organized and logical (you may claim that it is not organized – it’s up to you).…

    To my esteemed English teacher, By writing you this letter, I hope to demonstrate my growth throughout the year and my final mastery of the course’s content. During the revision of the synthesis, I mostly adjusted the shape of the piece; grammar and syntax needed to be fixed in many passages in order to provide a clearer explanation of my ideas. Nevertheless, the rhetorical analysis needed further labor on the content; precisely, the explanation of the author’s use of a certain rhetorical device to achieve his purpose needed to be more detailed. I wrote the both pieces keeping in mind that my audience would be extremely educated upon English language and composition.…

    A thesis statement introduces the main idea of an essay. The thesis statement is typically located in the last sentence of the introductory paragraph. The thesis statement usually serves as the focus of your essay and should be developed, supported, and explained. Beyond the introduction of the main idea, the thesis statement tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the essay, foreshadows how “I” will depict the subject of discussion, and makes an arguable statement for the reader to interpret for themselves. To be a strong thesis statement, the thesis statement must follow four components: the thesis statement must be narrow and manageable, present your argument, foreshadow your essay, and present an arguable statement.…

    I was always told that an essay is developed around a thesis statement and resources that support my opinions about a prompt. I realized that there was more to an essay when I came across scholarly writing, which is writing on a higher level, usually one which we come across during college. It meets high standards of communication with outlines, tone, deductive reasoning, format, and way of analytical approach. It has a consistent way of delivering thoughts, shaping arguments, and narrowing down the subject to explain the main idea. With scholarly writing, students must express their thoughts through thesis statements, and develop an argument with their own thinking, not minding to be objective to clear any chance of bias.…
