One particular author proves this principle: the many works written by John Updike, a New England author who rose to prominence in the mid-20th century (Moyer par. 1-2), reveals himself in his stories, to readers who look closely enough.…

Negative diction, a sarcastic tone, and irony are all used to aid in sharing his viewpoint as well.

Spelling and grammar issues aside, my essay lacked substance and specificity, especially in my central claim, which was not narrow or well-defined enough to form a strong argument.…
