Hi Marcos,
1. I really enjoyed reading your draft. I think you have good examples that support what you have to say in your essay, and also how you organize your points is easy to follow and understand.
Base 1: Unity
1. Yes, there is a clearly stated thesis in the introductory paragraph, which said “The documentary uses respected women in a political stance or publicized figure…to draw out emotion from the viewers to side with their stance.” I think if the thesis statement is written in one or two sentences, it would be simpler to get your point.
2. Yes, all the supporting paragraphs back up the thesis. The examples are detailed, and they support the thesis well.
Base 2: Support
1. Yes, there is specific evidence. I like how you come up your idea with the explanation on how the author of the documentary uses various methods to support the issue. …show more content…

Yes, there is plenty of it, and the supporting points are explained in sequence.
Base 3: Coherence
1. Yes, there is a clear method of organization. The three different points that you mention in the introductory paragraph are stated separately in each paragraph.
2. Yes, transitions are used to connect sentences and ideas, such as “Another aspect” or “Lastly.” I see various transitions that are used properly in your essay, and they help to connect your ideas well.
Base 4: Sentence Skills
1. I don’t think there are rough spots where the sentences do not flow smoothly and clearly, and most of them seem clear to understand, especially the body paragraphs.
2. I don’t see any mistakes in grammar, punctuation, or usage.
Overall, your draft seems great. I like how your points are stated clearly and explained smoothly according to the topic, and I also like how you have concluded your idea. Thank you.

Hi Ra,
I really enjoyed reading your draft. I like how you organize the points about your idea. Your explanation of what the author has to say in the documentary is easy to understand as

You could also, spend a paragraph discussing Jack's physical transition, from the school-boy uniform at the beginning of the novel to the savage beast hiding behind the mask at the end of the novel.  Organizing your paper in this fashion allows you to separate and discuss each aspect of Jack's transition clearly and thoroughly.

    With an evident attempt at objectivity, the syntax of Passage 1 relies almost entirely on sentences of medium length, uses a few long sentences for balance, and concludes with a strong telegraphic sentence. The varying sentence length helps keep the readers engaged, while also ensuring that the writing remains succinct and informative. Like the varying sentence length, the sentence structures vary as complex sentences are offset by a few scattered simple sentences. The complex sentences provide the necessary description, and the simple sentences keep the writing easy to follow. Conversely, Passage 2 contains mostly long, flowing sentences, broken up by a single eight word sentence in the middle. This short sentence, juxtaposed against the length of the preceding and following sentences, provides a needed break in the text, but also bridges the ideas of the two sentences it falls between. The author employs the long sentences to develop his ideas and descriptions to the fullest extent, filling the sentences with literary elements and images. Coupled...

    By dissecting the film, the director, Jennie Livingston's methodology and the audience's perceived response I believe we can easily ignore a different and more positive way of understanding the film despite the many flaws easy for feminist minds to criticize. This is in no way saying that these critiques are not valid, or that it is not beneficial to look at works of any form through the many and various feminist lenses.

    ...e. The absence of counter claims to many of his arguments while being supported makes the argument suspect. Adding with that some logical fallacy errors and phrases indicating guesswork without evidence and his thesis loses further ground. Looking at the article overall the argument is semi convincing depending on whether the reader agreed with him or did not before they read the article. If coming from the same viewpoint the argument is likely effective in further convincing them, however if coming from a different viewpoint the ineffective aspects of the argument coupled with a few potentially insulting phrases are unlikely to convince the reader.

    Throughout this fall semester, I have learned many things. Before this class, I have never had to buckle down and plan out my writing so tediously. The many outlines, rough drafts, and final drafts have crafted me into a much better writer than I would have ever expected to become. While I have always considered English as one of my strong subjects, through this class I have learned that English has many more components than I originally thought. One of the most substantial of these components is a transitional sentence and through this class and the writing practice it has brought me, I have learned how to properly write them.
