Hannah Vassar's Review

Decent Essays
Here is my evaluation of my peers’ review. On the scale of 1 to 5, Hannah Vassar’s review is ranked number 5. She was very helpful with her suggestions such as she changed a few of my sentences to make them sound better. She also was very thorough and caught some mistakes that I would not have caught if she would not have reviewed it. For example, she caught a mistake I made in my header about not capitalizing a letter in my address. Furthermore, Nicolette Piazza also did a great job on her review, however, I ranked her one level below Hannah Vassar at number 4. The reason I gave her a ranking below Hannah Vassar was even though Nicolette Piazza was helpful, she was not as helpful as Hannah Vassar, however, she was very thorough with her review.

    In conclusion, this specific review over The Time Travelers Wife written by Joshua Starnes is an extremely poorly written review. The fact that Starnes was able to go into good detail about the overall summary of the movie was one thing that did, in fact, add to the value of the review. On the other hand, because he did not write at an adequate enough length to discuss the movie well enough, failed to discuss any of the actors and their acting quality except for one, and because he just did not add in many details about any of the movie-making aspects, this is an overall very poor…

    This section of text from Marya Hornbacher’s 1998 memoir, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia, is a first-hand account of her experiences with eating disorders throughout her life. This depiction of her on-going battle with anorexia and bulimia for over fourteen years establishes her familiarity with the topic while appealing to the emotions of the audience as they experience the perspective of a person who has struggled with negative body image, eating disorders, and insecurity. Furthermore, by detailing some of her own experiences—many of which from when she was a child—without establishing a definitive opinion on the implications of negative body image, Hornbacher allows the reader to arrive to their own conclusions about the real-life dangers of the over-glamourized standard for the “perfect” body and the addictiveness of the quest for thinness. Hornbacher’s memoir was originally published nearly two decades ago, illustrating her experiences with eating disorders through the age of twenty-three; however, the content of her book is just as…
