- Is their thesis clear? Could you find it easily? If not, what could they change?
Yes, plain and simply stated it should not be legalized.
- Does the author academically argue his/her point? If so, where is this evident? If not, what could they change? All the journals were published so immediately that proves that we can trust these sources.
- Does the author academically present and more or less “debunk” their counter-argument? Where is this strong? Where could it be improved? I think a why people would be in favor of it should be a little more prevalent just a small insight on why people might be for it being legalized.
- Are quotes and paraphrases used properly? If so, could more be added? If not, how could they be improved? I noticed the part about Christianity but what does that mean for people who are not religious,
- Does the organization of the essay work? Do the ideas flow logically from one thought to the next? Yes its not redundant and each section is a new idea in support of the claim.
- What suggestions do you as a reader have for areas that need expansion or explanation? What do you want to hear more about? What were things that needed more explanation? How could the author make general areas more specific? I thought you started all your paragraphs weird. You used furthermore 3 different times to start a new paragraph I think better transitions would really help.
