In class reflective reverse - Mike Carey 11/11/14

This paper never really makes a strong argument thesis; it has a very broad verity of topics but nothing that really makes one point strongly or a freaking point.  It has a lot of use of the words “us” and “you” a lot; it’s almost as if I talk about the entire population as one person.  On the opposite side of the spectrum I also use “they” a lot making it seem like there are good people and bad people when trying to make a point instead of backing it with raw facts.  More facts behind statements instead of opinion.  Citation is awful! Needs a lot of work on proper citation and more than just one person being cited in the paper.  Finally spend more time on the meat and potatoes, find more facts and more sources and cite them correctly, but ultimately pick a solid topic that clear points can be made on.  AND SERIOUSLY STOP ADDRESSING THE READER DIRECTLY!. Until you learn how to use it right.
