This is a very simple, too simple, example of an essay. Your job is to use this as a guide only – you are not to copy it but model your essay on its structure. The key to a good essay is detail. Each of these paragraphs only gives one example of analysis. You need more. Much more.…
This article was a bit hard for me to understand. I had trouble finding what I the authors meaning was. I had trouble with the counter argument and I felt I sidetracked. I am not all pleased with this essay. I asked for help from my family members. I discussed my intentions to write about and revised it with them. It actually left me feeling a lot more confused than when I first read the article and revised the summary with my peers.…
The middle of the 1960’s approached and nearly six million students attended college in America. This tremendous increase in attending higher education forced institutions to grown, and quickly. Size changed how Universities operated. Instead of becoming more welcoming and homey, they transformed into unfriendly and bureaucratic. With the sudden growth in student body, American universities lacked the proper facilities. With few dormitories, students were housed in “student communities” surrounding their…

I think that this paper could be improved two different ways. First, is the way I organized the essay. It skips around from one thing to another. Secondly, I need to stay on topic better because I tend to ramble sometimes in this essay. This essay is great at keeping the reader drawn in. It also has a good introductory paragraph.…

This assemblage of data provided a partial explanation as to why college is such a rude awakening for many students. Until that threshold in life, many students have been pampered until the mere mention of work sends a message of premonition. That rude awakening, nonetheless, would be much preferred for children living in the circumstances of Michael Oher in I Beat the Odds. In their augmenting years, values of work and determination were deeply instilled. Not particularly those of schoolwork, unfortunately, because many had absent parents not too concerned with the upbringing of their children. Rather, life on the streets grew values of dedication to oneself and their intended destination in…
Steroid use is a problem that has lingered in the sporting world for a long time. It has long been intertwined within the games of baseball and cycling, but more reports are starting to surface about athletes using them in other sports, such as basketball, football, and track and field. Steroids are defined by the National Institute of Drug Abuse as “synthetic substances related to the male sex hormones (e.g., testosterone). They promote the growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effects) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects) in both males and females.” Steroids have widespread causes for their use, some of them even being beneficial. But in any business or organization, the goal is to maximize performance and you do whatever you can do gain a competitive advantage. This causes some athletes to turn to “juicing” in order to gain an edge. In baseball alone, it is estimated that 6% of players have done it or are currently doing it, and that is just the number of people willing to admit it in an anonymous survey. The public’s perception is that it happens far more frequently than that. There are two clear sides to the argument: those that would prefer for steroids to be banned, and those that believe that steroid use should be allowed in sports.…
I believe one of the strengths of this essay was that I included certain rhetorical devices in the ad that might not have been that obvious. I also think this essay was much more cohesive than my previous one and flowed well from one paragraph to the next. One of my weaknesses is that I can tend to be repetitive with my vocabulary, which might negatively affect my persuasiveness. A simple solution, however, was just to use the thesaurus. For the most part, this essay wasn’t extremely hard to write, except for maybe finding a title that was appealing and made sense.…
Living on campus is another stressful aspect of my life as a college student. Even though there is a sense of freedom that comes with having your own place to live, it still is a large responsibility to manage. Paying rent while also taking maintaining a stable living environment takes quite a bit of effort and, fortunately, I have survived at least one semester. I’m glad I’ve taken on this task, however, as it’s yet another example of the ways that I have continued to prepare myself for larger responsibilities down the…
