For many, this is why they are reading the article. Whether out of wanting to understand why they didn't get in or why getting into certain colleges is so hard, the author hooks the reader Wed, 27 Mar 2019 21:21:44 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/133763?scroll_to=1307751 https://nowcomment.com/documents/133763?scroll_to=1307751 I'd say the author is only partially successful in engaging the reader. The reprieves from the blocks of information are few and far between.

The author seems to have a wide understanding of the subject and doesn't need to integrate too many sources to make his essay convincing. He weights more heavily in facts that can be confirmed by a basic search.

The author also uses an array of examples scattered through the essay to help demonstrate the ideas he is talking about.

Instead of just saying parthenogenesis, he tells the reason why its called that Mon, 25 Mar 2019 19:54:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/133763?scroll_to=1307735 https://nowcomment.com/documents/133763?scroll_to=1307735 As a subject the idea of parthenogenesis might not seem interesting nor understandable. The author uses the transitions, topic sentences, and summaries to help the reader understand a pretty alien topic to the general public. It also helps to lighten up the technical terminology of the subject.

This gives the reader a general idea of the broader subject this explanatory essay falls under. Mon, 25 Mar 2019 19:36:12 -0400
