However, it clearly reveals its shortcomings as a biography that is still lacking in content for those who are knowledgeable about Sinatra. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=635500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=635500 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 01:13:30 -0500 A compendium is a detailed collection of information about a specific topic. The use of compendium here refers to all of the stories and information about Sinatra, albeit mundane. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=635498 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=635498 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 01:11:18 -0500 While the two questions being asked revolve around the legacy of Anne Frank, they raise two separate, but related issues. One asks if she needs to be covered again, while the other asks if there is anything new to add to the table. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635496 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635496 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 01:05:59 -0500 Added viewpoints https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635495 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635495 The diary adds to the common perception of Anne as being a Holocaust victim who documented herself in a diary. As a work of the art, the diary documents a great deal of emotion and distress, often captured in works of art. Fri, 09 Dec 2016 01:01:39 -0500 Unmediated historical documents are ones that have come directly from the source. They have not been altered in anyway. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635488 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=635488 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:54:19 -0500 Choosing to use the word world instead of marriage shows the meaning and depth behind what is to us, a marriage. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56408?scroll_to=635477 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56408?scroll_to=635477 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:47:41 -0500 Pool places an emphasis on editors because editors have the power to manage content, determine accuracy, as well as create and dictate the direction of reviews. Editors have a large part in the process of generating quality reviews. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=633845 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56405?scroll_to=633845 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 06:31:50 -0500 The last sentence implies that despite how much people wanted to admire Madison's character, he was narrow-minded when it came to the issue of racial equality. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628628 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628628 This serves as a good way to sum up the review because it details how people, even to this very day, continue to overlook the issue of racial equality. Sat, 10 Dec 2016 07:18:42 -0500 Pool justifies book reviewing and states that reviews have an afterlife because she believes that reviews serve a specific purpose for multiple generations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=628619 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56403?scroll_to=628619 When a review is written, it is meant to be an informative critique from a professional standpoint. As the review ages, it enters its afterlife, where if may no longer be relevant in terms of accuracy, it gives insight into a specific time period while also serving as a reference point for whatever was being reviewed. Sat, 17 Dec 2016 07:26:37 -0500 Pool's attitude towards reviewing is that of a personal interest rather than a means of business. While the reviewer has to be able to capture the attention of the reader, it is important to give accurate and informative details and critiques. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=628612 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56402?scroll_to=628612 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 10:45:27 -0500 It is true that time will never be on the reviewer's side. Reviewer's write based on present knowledge, expertise, and experience. However, the introduction of an edited version or new information could make older reviews inaccurate. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56401?scroll_to=628596 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56401?scroll_to=628596 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:51:31 -0500 The reviewer demonstrates his authority over the subject by listing facts that are relevant to the topic, while also making references to other works that show knowledge and expertise. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628575 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628575 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 22:49:10 -0500 Saying what "must have been" shows that the thoughts of Jennings was never accurately written down. It is inaccurate to assume Jennings thought in a specific way, which in turn lessens the accuracy and credibility of anything thought "must have been." https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628568 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628568 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 22:47:19 -0500 The implication here is that a biography of Madison can never leave out his relationship with his slaves, regardless of whether it was during his presidency or not. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628563 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628563 The reviewer agrees with Ms.Dowling that African Americans played a big part in Madison's life. The reviewer believes that it only makes sense for a biography about Madison to include his interactions with African Americans because they were so apparent. Thu, 01 Dec 2016 22:43:58 -0500 The implication was that for modern biographers of Madison, slavery was an issue. However, it was not something that should be taken out of context when discussing his presidency. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628556 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56410?scroll_to=628556 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 22:38:48 -0500 Inside-out as in knowing every little detail about the subject. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=583212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=583212 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 20:35:03 -0400 In essence, an assessment is a collection of results and facts that point towards a specific conclusion, whether good or bad. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=581421 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=581421 Assessments involve pooling together reliable information as a process of evaluating and forming a conclusion. It requires extensive research and at times, trials. In terms of a review, it would require that the subject matter be studied inside-out in order to bring to light every intricacy of the matter being reviewed. Sun, 25 Sep 2016 20:35:03 -0400 By stating that a good review is more than a verdict, Pool states that reviews can not simply come to a conclusion. The reviewer must give a thorough and detailed analysis of how and why they came to the conclusion that they did. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=581416 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56357?scroll_to=581416 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 23:37:50 -0400 The first sentence is the most important because it answers the first paragraph questions of why another Anne Frank needed more "full-scale treatment." The first sentence gives insight into the key point of the review, introducing Anne Frank as a writer https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=575940 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=575940 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:10:09 -0400 The focus on Anne frank shifts from being a Holocaust victim who happened to write in her diary, into Anne Frank the artist, who worked very hard to preserve and develop her diary entries. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=575923 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56406?scroll_to=575923 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:06:08 -0400 THe first paragraph shows Monroe's character. While, the opening paragraph does not take away from Monroe's character and acheivements, it gives her a more humanized presence as someone who makes "misspellings and grammatical errors" in her writing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=569758 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=569758 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:40:40 -0400 The inclusion of the words witty and dumb in the same sentence demonstrate Monroe's prowess as a talented actor. She could change character into a "dumb blonde secretary" at moment's notice. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=569743 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56356?scroll_to=569743 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:32:40 -0400 Credibility of the reviewer by showing that you are aware of the fact that this is just one of many works on Sinatra. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=569740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=569740 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:16:22 -0400 Be selective and only use credible stories. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=563949 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=563949 The phrase rinsing out means to filter through the collection of stories that the author has about Sinatra and only include the ones that have an impact. Rather than including the same old collection of facts and stories every other biographer and Sinatra fan constantly mention, carefully pick and choose the ones that will make a difference to the readers. Sat, 03 Sep 2016 08:43:42 -0400 The first two sentences draw the reader in and gives some background information to the reader. https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=563948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/56355?scroll_to=563948 The first two sentences serve to introduce the topic, while grabbing the reader's attention. The opening statement as well as the following sentences develop interest and credibility into the topic being reviewed. The use of adjectives such as small-fry and pedestrian give insight into your personal perspective on the topic and author. Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:16:22 -0400
