“Shakespeare” Essay Critique The essay, “Shakespeare”, was a poorly constructed essay that lacked many key functions that put together a good essay. The essay written had a vague thesis, used awkward narrative, improper tone, and did not have proper essay structure. Firstly, the title of the essay named, “Shakespeare”, does not clarify what the paper is going to argue or prove. Also, the introduction paragraph did not follow proper structural guidelines, which is general to specific information about the topic. The thesis of the introduction paragraph was also very vague and was posed as more of a non-rhetorical question rather than a statement. Right after the introduction, the essay began deteriorating, which was caused by the lack of revision and proof reading of the essay. Many structural errors such as sentence fragments and grammatical errors were made, for example, “Watch any class of high school students tackle Shakespeare and the first book you'll see on theredesks is a student guide of notes explaining who characters are, the plot and the themes.” Also, we can see many cases in which the sentences in the body paragraphs do not back up or support the point that is given in the topic sentence, for instance, “I would like to write a graphic novel using Shakespeare's plots, but maybe it's been done.”, which has little to no relevance to the authors point, which was how much of a challenge speaking to the world about Shakespeare’s work is. In brief, the essay “Shakespeare” has the potential to be an essay with a good enough argument. However, the author needs to revise their essay writing skills and go over factors which make a “good” essay. Some of these factors might be using proper grammar, spelling, correct essay structure and the use of correct MLA format
