Conference week assignment 3

For the comparison assignment, I read student 2’s and student 7’s essays. The first thing that brought me into these two essays and essay is the titles. Student 2 had a very good title called “The fountain of youth”. This got me very interested in what this essay might be about. While this title was very grabbing, the other title I didn’t think was quite as good in terms of bringing the reader in. The title of student 7’s essay was simply “Abu Ghraib”. This told me what the essay was going to be about but didn’t necessarily leave me with a desire to want to continue reading. As for the essays themselves, I thought both were very well written features in which I feel that I’ve learned something. Both had strong introductions that got me pulled into the essay. I could see that a large amount of research and time was put into making these authors experts on the topic. Something that I took away from these essays was the technique of being able to be informative and scientific while still making the essay very enjoyable to the reader.
