    This is perhaps your best poem. It was very powerful and spoke to me. It is amazing how intense emotion, and the whole situation can be captured in so few words. I wouldn't change this poem at all. It is perfect. It sounds so real.

What did you turn this into your school for? As people have already stated it has no organization, timeline, or constant direction. You even missed the key points. Without the key points this essay is poor. Random facts about the Civil War you didn't even mention Amerham Lincoln was President. As Babylon said it hard to believe you wrote this.

    This essay is very helpful putting useful information in one spot. It is even has works cited.Overall, a pretty good, organized essay. As ccmustangs2001 said it is very informative. I don't think a report of this nature needs a hook you're just stating the facts and out of interest I read your whole report.

  • Great Job!

    WOW! What a great report! You're only in first grade? You did a great job. You gave a summary of the story and that's a book report. My only suggestion is to include the name of the book and the author next time so other people can easily find it and read it. Did you like the book? It sounds good to me. Keep up the effort! Your writing improves with practice.

  • Good...

    I noticed serveral typing/grammer errors that need to be fixed. However, your ideas are clear and I loved your paper. I am huge John Wayne fan, but don't think this rates with his top performances though it's close. I think John Wayne's hate for doctor's is not clearly stated since only one drunken scene explains the ordeal (but that's not your fault). I think Wayne's character Marlowe is protrayed as a man angry at the world. I saw that you were a college Sophmore, being a college student you should think about your word choice... kid soldiers is not college level perhaps child soldiers, or boy soldiers. These comments are just food for thought. Your essay was worthy of a John Wayne Yo-oh! You celebrated a wonderful movie!

  • Opinion

    I think this is a good opinion paper. You have to however take into consideration that people of contradicting opinions will be reading this essay, and I am one of them. My cousin, a woman, was a paratrooper for four years. She jumped out of airplanes along with the men. The men learned to accept her. They went through the same experiences with her. Life lessons are learned, and I think they should be learned in a co-ed environment. So a woman is more sensitive or is not as strong? Team work a man soldier can help her out. Isn't it the way we handle things in civilian society?

  • Boring...

    I can tell you did a lot of research and took your time I like that. However you used lots of big fancy words to get your point across when it would be just as effective if not more so in plainer English. You need to address how being a leader and what is involved is applied to everyday situations like being a big brother or sister.

  • Okay...

    You stated the facts but it did not hold my attention. It was not interesting. I didn't see what the dangers were or what was so wrong. State your opinion more. Persuade me.

  • Okay

    It was organized, had all the factual information but I'd recieve it better if it were in essay form instead of outline. After all you submited it as an essay right? I'll have to give a yellow smiley.

    You did a lot of research! This is a good, solid paper and should not have trouble getting accepted. You were able to make a complicated topic understandable to a person who sucks at science like me.

    I think this essay could be expanded as not all the main points/aspects of the thirty years war was explained. However, all in all it was a good essay and perhaps a start to a higher level paper.

    This is a contraversal topic that was well written on. It express the ideas now present in our society about obtaining an unrealistic image. This essay is important for every woman to read.
