Katy Moreno Can We Compete Analysis

Decent Essays
Hi, Richard.

I agree with your analysis between both drafts. On the second draft of the essay "Can We Compete" by Katy Moreno, the thesis is now much more powerful and clear as it remains centered on the main idea. Furthermore, the addition of the new title gives the reader a better understanding of what the topic is about. Lastly the synthesizing of her mothers experience as a supportive detail is much improved. The overall structure of the body has improved. Like you said, she agrees and elaborates on why whit the addition of examples.

    Initial Draft In the initial rhetorical analysis draft of Scott Jaschik’s “Winning Hearts and Minds in War on Plagiarism,” I noticed that there are some mistakes in specifying the audience, integrating sources, making a deep analysis, and organizing the structure of the paper. The writer of the draft could have made more analysis than summary, which is explaining the effectiveness of Jaschik’s use of the referred rhetorical choices. To give an example of illustrations as rhetorical choice, the writer mentions the episode in Jaschik's text where the instructor assigns her students an assignment to purposely plagiarize. However, he does not explain how successful these rhetorical choice were in persuading the audience.…

    It gives how the Illegal immigrants can benefit the Dream act In conclusion, Peggy Sands article “What’s Wrong with the DREAM Act” is more effectively argued for than Chicago Tribune’s “Pass the DREAM Act” because it explains the flaws within the act clearly, has a structured and coherent organized paper, and it effectively counter argues and actually provides ways that the DREAM Act could be fixed; so that the law could be less problematic whereas the Chicago Tribune lacks or does not have anything of those proponents that would convince the reader that the article was better argued for regarding the DREAM…

    Kate Peterson’s lyrical essay To All Those Who Say Write What You Know, is a two page nonfiction memoir of her life in London. The title of Kate’s lyrical essay is significant because she is addressing an audience who demands that one should write of things they have knowledge or firsthand experiences. This is may sound simple and inspiring at first for writers, but attempting to write on what you know can be a challenging request because memories can be distorted. This was evident in Kate’s lyrical essay examining each paragraph. The arrangement of her paragraphs suggests that Petersen is authentic in her narrative voice because she is not restricted in her essay.…

    In the first paragraph of essay A, there was a meaningful introduction to the quote that was later used. Even before reading the quote, I already had an idea on what the quote was about and how it was used as evidence for the argument. I thought that there should have been a better transition from the writer’s voice to the author’s voice because it felt like there was a sense of urgency when the writer said, “He later states that...”. The writer should have included more information before the quote to show the relevance of that quote. There was a clear understanding of why the quote was chosen; it was chosen to portray how Appiah agrees in whatever Charles Taylor had to say.…

    In the first essay, the student starts by writing a short summary as to what the article is about. The student then lists the two reasons as to why Foer’s argument is persuasive in a straight-to-the-point, clear, and organized manner. This intro was probably the strongest of the four. However, the second paragraph starts off by writing about how many Americans do not want to accept soccer as a pastime as many other countries have. There is little argument made in this paragraph as to how Foer is persuasive; here it is mostly summary of the article.…

    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).…

    Many authors construct essays with different introductions and conclusions to effectively support their topic. When reading many essays, author’s use similar forms of narrative elements that are analyzed to explain the author’s purpose in writing the piece. Natalie Kusz “Ring Leader” and Jr. Gates “In the Kitchen”, have similar narrative elements throughout their introduction’s and conclusion’s which include, the voice and mood that the authors create, our trust in the author’s, and the tone of the authors, which assists the author’s to explain their purpose for writing the piece. In all, the following arguments leads to evaluate which essay is more persuasive than the other.…

    “The Power of One” also demonstrated my improved method of writing my introduction and conclusion paragraphs. I was sure to begin my essay in an interesting way by opening with a rhetorical question. On top of that I introduced the idea of “the power of one” and continued this idea by concluding my essay with it as well. In addition, in “Shift to Reality” I feel my paragraph development was strong and thorough as I examined the depth at which William Golding brings his novel to a satisfying conclusion. On the other hand, I still feel I struggle with sentence structure and awkward wording as shown in my ALS Ice Bucket Challenge essay.…

    In the literacy narrative, I explained my experience with growing up thinking I was not as smart as the other kids and how I overcame my fear of not being good enough and how that made me a more determined worker. I think my strength is putting the reader in my shoes to show what it was like being put in the special group. However, I think my essay can be improved towards the end of the essay with the conclusion and a better transition to it. The purpose of the text analysis essay was to analyze the music video for the song “A Little More Love” by Machine Gun Kelly featuring Victoria Monte.…

    Before beginning this course, I knew that I lacked confidence within my writing. People say that you are your own worst critique, and I fully agree with that statement. My writing was not terrible in some aspects, but I knew that it needed to be improved upon. I lacked the experience needed because writing was not something that I did on a daily basis. When I first started English 1302, the little confidence that I had significantly plummeted since my writing seemed childish compared to other students.…

    Title Enrolling the EOF program has lighten up a path in life that would have gone completely undiscovered had I walked alone. Along the path was my introduction to college writing, a class that has improved my writing skills profoundly. At first the tasks given to us on the syllabus seemed daunting, almost insurmountable within the five-week period of the program; it seemed even more inconceivable with the class being only twice a week. However, with the guidance and instruction given to me by the professor and peers I was able to strengthen my work as a student.…
