Olivia Lee Mr. Goold ENG4UE-15 3 July 2015 Reflection on the Essay’s Effectiveness Overall, the essay on Agatha Christie has distinctive argument and points, however, it has some significant errors to be fixed. The introduction paragraph resembles triangle standing format such as it starts with general idea and ends with specific idea, thesis. In addition, the thesis statement is specific and clear but the repetition of 'strong' eventually makes the thesis seems weak. Even though the body

As for writing, I write how I speak, so I don’t think I’m very good at it. Although, because The Norton Reader has such a variety of essays, I found it much easier to appreciate and understand than most books referred to me by friends and family. I chose to read the following * “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, because I saw a documentary a few

After reading the article, I remember the Carr's essay on Google. Both of essays are talking about the disadvantage of the technology.

Also when they read online, they tend to become 'mere decoders of information
