Research Paper and Outline

1 comment:

  1. I would like to start off by saying I really liked your research paper. It was so easy to follow, and wasn’t painful to read and understand like other essays I have seen over the years. I liked how you incorporated your style into the writing and made it sound and feel like a well written, scholarly project. Your hook about the Cyclops and the Odyssey was important to understanding the argument you discussed in the paper. Usually some people don’t use hooks well and they are awkwardly transitioned into the thesis. Speaking of transitions, yours were very good and made the paper flow very well.
    Pertaining to your analysis, the structure was very organized and also contributed to the flow of the paper. The quote introductions were integrated smoothly and there was a balance between the amount of quotes and the amount of commentary. I also liked how the analysis you did broke down each of the quotes, because sometimes I’ve seen people just plop the quote in and not mention it again, while you elaborated on the importance of each line and that’s how the evidence helps develop your argument. So I pretty much like this whole essay, in conclusion.
