Reflection On 1984

431 Words2 Pages

My intro is not very good because I do not have a good thesis statement; my thesis statement was not very specific. My intro is not very strong and a little boring, if I was able to rewrite the intro I would make it more interesting for the reader. I would try to make the thesis statement stronger in order to make a more direct point for my paper. By rewriting my thesis I could make it clear to the reader that the theme of 1984 is the government controlling people. I could use the tiqatiqa format to help give direction in my writing and give a better reasoning and support. I did not answer an interpretive question; to help the reader better understand what the purpose of the paper is I could be more direct with my question.

    My paper starts off fairly strong by stating who Dillons is addressing along with the purpose behind the audience he is trying to reach and using quotes to back up what I am saying. The thesis continues following what I introduce and follows the build of the paper. The first paragraph could use some work. It starts off with a quote analyzing the rhetorical choice of statistic however it could go more in depth and take more consideration of how it impacts Dillons audience. The second quote I use however does not analyze and it turns the second half into summarization of the point Dillons was making.
