Ranking 3 Sample Essays from the Red Reader
For my three sample essays, I choose to read A for Alfi, B for Beatrice, and C for Cecilia. Out of the three was B for Beatrice was the essay that agreed the most with me. While the essay follows a very structured format it doesn't become to mechanical. While she didn't give quotes Beatrice choice of words help the essay running smoothly as the reader goes on. The content within answers her thesis and at the same time shows complexity. The essay develops as the first paragraph is about Austen, the second one about Greene, and third puts them side by side. In all Beatrice while writing a exact copy structured of a rubric, keeps the feeling natural and shows development, complexity,and fluidity. Alfi had an interesting topic, but his intro and thesis, I found lacking, not setting the stage enough. Compared to Beatrice it had none of the smoothness or complexity and just seems to repeat itself throughout. Finally, Cecilia was my least favorite of the three. The essay was not extremely well structure and was very this and that, not offerring very much complexity.
