An observation or
question I received
from De Piero or a
classmate:
I need more of a
specific, driving
thesis statement,
Taypres.
Changing my thesis to
something more
debatable gave my
paper a more solid
argument. I had to
change and re-write
many things, but I feel
as though my essay
turned out 100 times
better this time around.
Cases of
Indiscriminate Killing
and Society contains a
few unique rhetorical
devices.
By elaborating on this
idea, I was able to
make it tie back into
my thesis.
Headings are a
common convention in
scholarly articles, and
explaining the value of
them helped me tie this
paragraph about
similarities back to my
thesis.
The obvious
difference between the
two articles is subject
matter and content. The
Linking Psychological
Traits article explains
different psychological
traits of criminals,
because the disciple of
psychology is
interested in the
mentality of a
criminal.
The information in
each is broken up by
headings such as
introduction and
methods.
Diction is still an
important part of the
piece, but the
vocabulary used is not
as formal and
academic, because the
author wants the reader
to be able to fully
understand it.
Crime is everywhere
in media, and portrayed
differently in every
story.
