My Thesis Statement

Decent Essays
It is extremely difficult for me to comprehend this paper after reading it many times. The opening sentence in the first paragraph led me to think that the holiday will be the topic of the paper, which is quickly obfuscated by a movie that has nothing to do with it. This confusion is carried into the paper until the final paragraph that seems to tie back to the introduction, but not completely because the introduction is not clear about what the topic is, or at least not clear to me.
I’m not quite sure on the dominant impression, nonetheless I did get a sense of confusion. As far as the thesis statement, I was not able to clearly identify it, however I do think I was able to identify a potential thesis, but it was located in the last paragraph. I do not think this paper is well organized, and the arrangement of the details are scattered, and another arraignment may be more effective.

And the details provided does not support the thesis; were not necessary, and are excessive and redundant. The use of transition words: first, then, and final in my opinion would help the reader if the rest of the paper was clearly arranged and constructed. And the use of “first of all,” does not smoothly transitions from the first paragraph, and the conclusion of the essay would be perfect if introduction would have been more clear. The author in the conclusion seemed to successfully paraphrase each main point—I think. There were errors that were obvious, and I do not have a favorite part of this essay. I do think the opening statement would work well if it was supported with facts about the holiday rather than a highly described fictional

    This issue was the repeating of the same information in a different format over and over, until the paragraph is complete. This jumbled up the paper and made it difficult for me to read. In order to address this, the writer was able to structure the way his paragraphs were so that when read, information is built upon each other. This makes it easier to follow what the writer is trying to express because then information is given chronologically vs all over the…

Setting the tone, he describes how he is more than happy to hit the books after laboring 12-hour days and earning meagre wages. As a result of his experience, the alternative is straightforward.

    Editorial Feedback I had the opportunity to read my classmate Ana Ortiz’s autobiography whom I enjoyed learning more about.

    I want to say that this paper can be great once you develop your arguments more. In terms of the introduction, I like the quote you included. It really gives the reader a perspective on what you are trying to say. An issue is that some of your sentences are too long and that will most likely detract the viewers’ attention from any points you are trying to make. I recommend making your sentences clearer and less lengthy, because the introduction is what gets the reader interested in your paper.…

    PS SUPA Papers: A Reflection As I got back my first paper , A Settlement Built on Struggle, I would realize the challenge that my future paper’s would present. This challenge, amongst others, was thesis integration in my papers. Although my introduction for the Jamestown paper provided a strong thesis about the three most prominent struggles for the settlement: power hungry leaders, harsh weather and Native Americans, these points lacked a clear purpose throughout the rest of the paper. By the end of the first body paragraph my thesis was already lost in not only my content but my awkward wording and overbearing use of quotes.…
