Random lnsanity / dear RIA: rate my research paper!
« on: November 08, 2007, 10:57:01 pm »
I was a little confused as to what type of expository essay this was. The thesis made it look like it was going to be an example essay. The body made it appear to be a defining essay. The conclusion made it appear as though the paper should have been a persuasive essay.

The first body paragraph does not seen to support the thesis, yes it defines gifted, but it does not prove how being gifted makes life harder.

The second body paragraph has a similar issue. It does almost nothing to prove the thesis, I would stamp it as irrelevant.

The third body paragraph is fine if this is an essay to define giftedness, but it really provides minimal support for the thesis. It shows the traits of different groups of the gifted, but does not explain how being gifted is makes life harder when one reads the information (only 10% are not "successful").

The fourth paragraph also appears to be irrelevant in regards to the thesis. It shows that programs are offered to help the gifted despite dissenters.

Overall the essay was confusing. According to the thesis the point was to prove how life was harder for gifted people. However you spent too much space defining gifted and concluded with an argument that still begs the question.

My suggestions:
1. Focus. Is the purpose of your essay to define "Giftedness" or prove how life is harder for the gifted?
2. If the purpose is to define giftedness, rewrite the thesis. If the purpose is your current thesis, then rewrite the body (the entire thing).
3. Rewrite your entire conclusion, this is not an argumentative essay. You are not trying to argue for the government to act on the situation of giftedness. You also have in no way proven that giftedness is a disorder.

If I turned this paper in to my teacher I would expect a D with the possibility of an F.

At this point I must ask what grade level this paper was meant for? I am rating it according to my grade level.

I hope I wasn't too harsh

Granted. The sun never sets, the temperature rises to 300 degrees and you melt into a puddle.

I wish for a cigar that is made of 100% cuban tobacco and will not kill me, and the cuban who rolled it washed his hands with only soap and water.

Aw man. Dester55 plays too, it'd be cool for us three to play sometime. Ah well.

What race do you play? I'm either Space Marines or Necrons.

Space Marines since the first version, got pretty good at dropping tons of Dreadnoughts in my brothers base at the most inopportune times.

Warcraft III is kinda weak. The graphics are pretty terrible, and its not that exciting. Hero system is broken to hell, and the factions are pretty unbalanced.

Warcraft 3 is pretty fun. I used to be pretty good at making custom maps and triggers... it's pretty much devolved to playing DOTA at the netcafe with my friends.

World in Conflict...I need to start playing that again sometime. It's kind of brainless, but fuck me does it get the adrenaline going, like no RTS out there. Except maybe CoH.

Yeah That game is

Granted. However, you do not have a job and don't get paid at all and nobody is hiring. You have to live like a hobo.

You gain immortality, but are buried alive the next day... and spend eternity trapped underneath the earth.

I wish for a hamburger, cooked to perfection.
