Michael’s (Very) Rough Draft Comments


The topic that Michael picked is very good and overall, his essay is well written. Each argument has many examples and quotes that support his point and he cites them correctly. I agree with his viewpoint on the issue and the information on the topic makes me agree with it even more. His arguments are also fair and well balanced with both sides represented on the issue. However, there are some things that could be fixed to make it even better and flow more smoothly. First, some of his sentences are choppy and simple. To tie them together, he should join one or two of the sentences that relate to each other so that the transition is more smooth. Next, he should also watch out for repletion of words such as “comments” that could be replaced with other words like “says” and “states.” Another thing that could be done to the essay is to add even more information. It doesn’t seem like there are many sources which could be problematic in arguing you point. Last, there is not much of a conclusion at the end. It kind of leaves the reader wanting more, like the essay isn’t over yet. It should sum up what the writer has written about and should be simple and concise. Overall though, the essay is a good start and can easily be made even better.
