Blog #1, ENG 101

In Ernst's introduction she should have introduced the passage and the author more quickly, however she still did add the author in the introduction. She does a good job at including Bill Bishops quotes and phrases which are good examples. She also references the controversy and which side she chose very quickly in the introduction which shouldn't really be added until a body paragraph. Summarize: Ernst does a good job at summarizing although she has some errors in her essay. In each paragraph she explains Bishops perspective and also his unbiased examples. Assess: Ernst decides to agree with Bishops position. The information she uses is accurate and very significant although she fails to put page numbers its clear her examples are from the book. She also uses the author's are from the book. She also uses the authors interviews of others to give the summary. Respond: Yes, Ernst responded to what she preferred, but I feel she did it to early in the introduction. She should have waited and wrote her side right before her conclusion. Conclude: Overall the piece was good. She inquires her own knowledge on how she feels about the chapter. She also added a lot of Bishops details into the essay.
