Respond to CATW Essay

The essay written in respond to the article, I believe is a passing essay. it has all the requirements that are suppose to be there, except grammar.  There are some grammatical errors, some words are misused.  At the beginning of the essay the student provides the reader with a summary of the article and relates it to her life. The student relates his or her life to the article by saying that ad's push people to think they always have to have the latest things out.  In the body paragraph the student gives examples of why and how ads are brainwashing people. In the conclusion of the paper the student once again gives the articles opinion and she relates it to her idea.  She agrees with the whole article and backed it up well.  There were some grammatical errors but overall I think the student knew what she was talking about and wrote the paper out well.
Maybe organization could have been better, but overall I think student had strong examples to relate to article, Some words were misused in sentences but I think but these subjects fall under LOC's.  Besides that they had everything an essay needs for it to be a good essay,

Sondra Pearl opinion

What is important to you, confusing?  What’s your favorite/worst useful of the 3 aspects of the process

I believe that all these aspects can help people with their papers.  There is nothing that confuses me about any of the aspects.  They are all pretty straight forward.  All the aspects make up how a paper should and will be written.  It shows how a paper should be thought out. The whole felt sense idea is important to me because it helps you get to where you want to get in your paper.  It helps you first think things out before you write your paper.  It makes you question yourself on where you want to go with your paper and if that is what you actually want to say in your paper.  This is the most important part of your paper because you do this even way before you write out your paper and how you start with your paper is how your whole paper is going to be.  Once you mess up your ideas, you can easily fall off topic.  That means you could mess up your entire paper. That's why I believe felt sense aspect is one of the most important ones. I don't disagree with any of them because I believe each one plays it's own part in forming a paper. With out these 3 aspects your essay probably wouldn't be organized. All these aspects have you organize yourself in a different way but will help you reach your goal, a successful paper.
