Synthesis Essay On Social Class

Improved Essays
This essay is a very unsuccessful. The writer often jumps around from subject to subject and does not stick to their theme of social class. Their thesis was that “social class plays a huge role in society” and “determines how people get treated”. This is very broad topic and is common sense. The writer tries to tie identity into social class but is very unsuccessful in doing so. Instead of explaining more on how they correlate, the writer discusses their opinion of why they shouldn’t correlate. The writer also did not have the essay essentials, nor did they score well on the grading rubric.
The writer did not display all the essay essentials. The essay was poorly organized. It jumped around from topic to topic and the transitions didn’t connect each paragraph with the next. It is stated in the essentials that “you”, “I”, & “we” should be avoided, however the writer uses these words very often throughout the essay, making it too personal. The conclusion didn’t do a great job of tying things up and was more of a personal opinion of social classes. The quotations used were not properly cited in the essay. For one of them, they didn’t

The writer had a very broad thesis and theme. They didn’t give enough support to their thesis and gave more opinions than support. They were repetitive that social class identifies you but didn’t really describe how it effects a person, and instead gave an opinion on the subject, such as, “we should have the right and opportunity to define ourselves”. The organization would be scored as average or poor. They jumped around from topic to topic in paragraphs and there was either no transition or the transition was very poor. The expression also would have been average or poor. They were very redundant throughout their essay. Each paragraph talks about pretty much the same things. The mechanics also would have been average or poor. There were many mistakes in grammar and punctuation in this

    Assessment: This is the fourth and final draft of my third essay for College English 101. While I fulfill the prompt, I do not convincingly analyze the author's rhetorical strategies.

    Most initial drafts of papers contain numerous mistakes, which later on are made strides. The initial draft of the student composing on Scott Jaschik's article, "Winning Hearts and Minds in War on Plagiarism," contains many faults, which prevent the draft from reaching its full potential. The main basic error the student made was utilizing proper nouns excessively all through the starting draft. The student specifies and refers to the author commonly all through the entire draft. Despite the fact that it is right to refer back to the author, the student should have diminished the measure of times he included the authors name by just utilizing pronouns.…

    Assessment Notes for Andrew Poirier’s Exploratory Essay on Taoism Given the brevity of the assignment, this essay did an excellent job conveying the core teaching of Taoism. It effectively used quote sandwiches and clear, sophisticated language to aid the reader in grasping subtle, complex concepts. The essay also clearly expresses its purpose of “...decompress(ing) some of the core ideologies that are the integral focuses of Taoism within this essay.” The issues with this essay were all minor and of a technical nature.…

    Her tone then quickly changes to an informative one in paragraphs two and three as she covers the only form of logos in the entire essay. Finally her tone darkens in the final argument of the essay as she explains the conditions of the factory farms and what people are forcing animals to go through by eating meat. She spends most of the essay arguing this final point trying to get the reader to feel sorry for the animals by explaining in detail how the animals are contained and how they are treated in these factory farms. Even though there is this great disparity in length of arguments, the essay is very clear about when each point is going to come up and what to expect. Though her main downside is her citations, or lack there of.…

    At the beginning of the year around the same time that the first essay assignment was being discussed and explained I began to think that the assignment was going to be somewhat easy. I began to search for books that seemed interesting to research, that I could use for the assignment. The selection process was one of the most time consuming parts of the assignment. I I gathered the final four books which were “Rebel Souls”, “Walt Whitman Reconsidered”, “Walt Whitman: A Gay Life”, and “Walt Whitman”.

    Draft 2 Revision Plan My professor and my writing tutor commented that my conclusion is essentially a restatement of what I have already said in my literature review. It is important for a conclusion to contribute to the literature review in some way, so for my next draft, I plan to review the articles and extend my conclusion to include some other observation or where the field could be going. One observation I might include is that although the articles focus on time periods separated by almost five centuries, they describe the struggle of women for gender equality in the same way. Why is the current situation not significantly different from that of Elizabethan England? Another comment I received from my professor was that my proposition is too narrow.…

    Every student learns different ways to analyze and write literature based off what their teachers have imposed on them. In the passage, “From Silence to Words: Writing as Struggle” by Min-Zhan Lu the author informs the reader about her childhood growing up in China during the revolution. She expresses the multitude of problems that come up while she tries to balance learning English at home and Chinese in the classroom. Growing up with these two different lives, the author dignifies that learning two different methods of interpreting literature left her with conflicting perspectives. At school it was frowned upon to speak English, but at home her parents had the opposite attitude and prioritized the learning of English.…

    I wrote my argument piece last November on the idea that single sex schools and classrooms reinforce stereotypes. I believe that overall my assignment was very persuasive and I made some very convincing points. I talked about how in single sex schools, tomboys would not be able to have the chance to hang around with and talk to boys that they may want to do. This point is very personal and any tomboys who would read my presentation would understand what it would feel like. The quote is very meaningful and I’m sure many people would be able to relate to it.…

    There are many writings which can be taken two different ways. Either it can persuade the reader to his or her opinion or turn them away. The strategies used in an essay can have an effect on the reader. In the essay “School Is Bad For Children”, written by John Holt, a valid argument is made that school takes away almost every child’s individuality. The children apparently do not get the chance to express themselves or show their skills.…
