1) Review the assignment requirements. Read the essay. In your opinion, does the writer answer the essay assignment in this piece? Explain.
I didnt see that a specific essay assignment was used but I thought that it was a great paper nonetheless.
2) Write the thesis statement here:
The tone and the diction of the poem clearly demonstrate that poetry is genuine, even if it may seem to be fiddle and raw material, may sound silly and unnatural.
3) Does the thesis attempt to prove a specific idea, or is it too general?
It is specific.
4) What specific evidence does the writer provide to support the thesis?
She uses many quotes which support the thesis nicely.
5) Does the writer explicitly show how this evidence supports his/her view? Are connections made for the reader?
I believe that the connections are made clear for the reader.
6) Does each paragraph connect with the thesis?
Yes
7) Is there additional evidence which the writer has missed?
Not that I know of.
8) Does the conclusion sum up the writer's point?
Yes.
9) Give the writer at least one suggestion for improving this paper.
I thought that overall this was an extremely well done paper, but like Gary, I dont know that this fulfilled the assignment although it was extremely well done.
