Writing An Evaluative Essay

Crafting an evaluative essay on the subject of "Writing An Evaluative Essay" may seem like a
paradoxical challenge. It demands a meta-awareness of the very process you are engaged in, as you
scrutinize and analyze the intricacies of essay composition itself. This self-reflective nature requires a
delicate balance between objectivity and introspection.

The inherent difficulty lies in avoiding a circular argument where the evaluation of the writing
process becomes the subject of evaluation. Striking a nuanced tone, maintaining clarity, and adhering
to a coherent structure are paramount. You're tasked not only with assessing the effectiveness of your
writing but also with conveying these evaluations in a manner that is both informative and engaging.

Moreover, navigating the fine line between constructive criticism and self-praise adds another layer
of complexity. It involves acknowledging strengths while candidly addressing weaknesses, thereby
presenting a balanced perspective on the essay writing process.

Research becomes a dual-layered endeavor as you delve into both the theoretical underpinnings of
essay evaluation and the practical application of these principles in your own work. Juggling these
dimensions can be intellectually demanding, requiring a heightened level of self-awareness and
critical thinking.

However, despite the challenges, the process of writing an evaluative essay on essay writing can be a
valuable exercise. It compels you to refine your analytical skills, fostering a deeper understanding of
the nuances that define effective writing.

In conclusion, tackling the intricacies of evaluating the process of essay composition demands a keen
awareness of one's writing style, coupled with an objective and constructive mindset. It's a
challenging but enriching task that, when executed successfully, contributes not only to improved
writing skills but also to a broader appreciation of the art of composition.

Summary Of My Brother Sam Is Dead
In the book my Brother Sam is Dead, by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher
Collier, I noticed a strong theme; how war divides individuals, families, communities,
and countries. This book takes place during the Revolutionary War, and Tim Meeker,
the narrator, has a Father who is a Loyalist and a brother, Sam, who is a Patriot. Sam
goes off to fight for the Patriots, and hard times come because of the war. When Father
and Tim are coming back from Verplancks Point, Father gets kidnapped by cow boys.
He is then killed in a British prison ship. Sam is killed because he is taken in as cattle
thief, which he really wasn t. He is then executed. The Meeker familyis then torn up
because of the war, with half of the family dead. I will show you... Show more content on

One of them was Tim, whose brother was a Patriot and whose Father was a Loyalist. A
few examples are: on page 114, Tim and Father have a conversation that shows they are
depending on the British side, for protection against the Patriots. This happens after
they were attacked by the Patriots, and the Loyalists rescued them. Tim is on the
Loyalists side because of how they rescued him, and also because he is depending on
them. Another example is right after Tim saw Ned s head chopped off. Tim decides he
doesn t feel like being a Tory anymore. Tim throws up all over himself when he sees Ned
killed, and as he says, It was a long time before I realized I was soaked with cold sweat
and crying, which shows he doesn t like any violence, and that war was tearing him up
(page 145). As well as on Page 167, when Tim says, ...I decided that I wasn t going to
be on anyone s side anymore: neither of them was right. That shows that war divides
individuals because after going back and forth for a while, Tim finally decided he
wasn t going to be on any side in the war anymore, because neither side was right. From
the examples above, you can see Tim vacillating between Patriots and Loyalist; torn by
war, as well as torn by family because of the
Exploring Factors Related to Alcohol Consumption Young...
This assignment has been developed to discuss the consumption of alcohol in young
people in Britain, and to suggest possible solutions for the young people of today and
to also carry onto the next generation. This assignment will also research why young
people feel the need to drink and what attracts them to alcohol, also this assignment will
look into who is more susceptible to drinking alcohol, this could be male or female also
what age group this effects the most, the assignment will also look in to what young
people can do to pass their time rather than drinking alcohol and what parents and other
adults can do to help this situation, also what can be done to prevent binge drinking and
help prevent it being so attractive. One of the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Research suggests boredom is another reason for young people to drink as this gives
them something to do (Hayley Jarvis 2009) also depression can have an effect on the
amount young people consume as alcohol acts like a depressant this can make the
young person feel very low (Erica Wittenberg Jim Parker 2003). It has been found that
girls drink more than boys; this could be the root problem for unwanted pregnancies in
young girls. UK Proportion of 15/16 year olds who reported being drunk 3 times or
more during the last 30 days (see bar A). UK Proportion reporting binge drinking 3
times or more during the last 30 days (see bar B). UK Proportion who have been drunk
at the age of 13 or younger (see A bar C) (Hebbell B et al 2003) It been stated the
average 13yrs old gets £45 a month for pocket money and the average 16yr old gets
£80 (the money hospital 2007). With parents having busy lives with working and
running a home teenager s get to spend their pocket money unsupervised allowing them
to purchase alcohol. With wide colourful advertisement on alcohol this attracts the
younger eye, sweet fruity drinks also known as alcopops come cheap so divide the £45
monthly allowance by four that gives the average teenager £11.25 to send on alcohol
each week and at £1.25

farmers) compare to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Permissible
Exposure Limit (OSHA PEL), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Recommended Exposure Limit (NIOSH REL), and the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Value (ACGIH TLV) for noise?

3.Does one ear tend to have more hearing loss than the other ear, or is hearing loss
evenly distributed between ears?
4.Are notches indicative of future hearing loss?
5.How do the general attitudes and beliefs regarding hearing protection and hearing loss
among this group of participating farmers (both control and intervention farmers) change
over time?

Wayne Schlib s Breakfast Of Champions
Although the previous controls have been quite concrete, there is a more abstract
control humans face everyday: the control of time. A person s perception of time is
limited by what other people allow him to believe about it. When a person s time is
limited under the control of other people, he is unsure of how to manage in regular
life because of how abnormal it seems in comparison. In Breakfast of Champions, an
ex convict is let out of jail. This sounds like freedom, but through the control he was
under for all those years in jail, he now does not know what to do, I had Wayne
Hoobler, the black ex convict, stand bleakly among the garbage cans... and examine the
currency which had been given to him at the prison gate... He had nothing else to... Show

In Slaughterhouse Five, Billy Pilgrim is abducted by aliens to a planet called
Tralfamadore. On this planet he was programmed to believe that life will proceed as it
always has and he has no power to change any outcome. This viewpoint completely
altered Billy s perception of life. In this quote, Billy is explaining his new belief to
Rumfoord in the hospital after the war, Everything is all right, and everybody has to do
exactly what he does. I learned that on Tralfamadore (Slaughterhouse 254). People have
no control over any moment in time. It is set and will always happen the same way; there
is no point in challenging it. Tralfamadorians put this nihilistic idea into Billy s head
and are forcing him to believe it. With this viewpoint, Billy will never challenge any
wrongdoings he sees and will just let everything happen in front of him. By believing
that he has no free will to change anything, he will allow violence to occur and just
accept it. This is Vonnegut s way of satirizing anybody who believes that he cannot
change the world. In another situation in Slaughterhouse Five, Billy shows how the
Tralfamadorians have further desensitized him into not caring when people die because
that is just how it happens, Now when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply
shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is
The Purity and Purification of Solids-Melting Point Essay
Introduction: The method for purifying solids is done by observing the melting point.
This is important because if there is an impure substance the melting point would be
depression and the melting range would be broader. By finding the melting point of a
known substance one can then observe an unknown substance s meltingpoint to see if the
points are the same and try to figure out the unknown.

Experimental Section: The first known substance we used was Biphenyl. 68 degrees
Celsius is the known melting point. We used the capillary method and observed the
melting point using a Mel temp device. The next substance whose melting point we
observed was 90 % Naphthalene, 10 % Biphenyl. In the last part of the experiment I
observed the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Trial One112.1102.1 112.1
Trial Two114.7106. 114.7
Trial Three114.4107.1 114.4

The next table shows the melting points of the mixtures made to determine the
Unknown. Melting Point (Celsius)Melting Point Range (Celsius)
Trial One: 2 Chloracetamide and Unknown E117.280.8 117.2
Trial Two: 2 Chloracetamide and Unknown E118.181.8 118.1
Trial One: Acetanilide and Unknown E115.1106.7 115.1
Trial Two: Acetanilide and Unknown E113.6102.0 113.6

Discussion: In part A the melting points I observed were similar to those of my


classmates. During the first trial the temperature was climbing quickly and the Biphenyl
melted quickly. During the next two trials the Mel temp was set at a lower setting and
our melting point was closer to the known melting point.

Conclusion: I have determined that Unknown E is Acetanilide. The melting point of the
mixtures was very close to the melting point of plain Unknown E. The 2 Chloracetamide
and Unknown E s mixture had to high of a melting point. Based on my results and
observations I would conclude that Unknown E is Acetanilide.

The Puritans And The Separatist
The Puritans and the Separatists were two Protestant groups that disagreed with how
King Henry VIII s Anglican Church was being practiced. The two groups are different in
the fact that one group just wanted to reform the Anglican Church, whereas the other
group wanted to break away altogether.
The Puritans believed that the Anglican Church had strayed too far from its roots, and
that it needed to be purified from the Roman Catholic Church. They practiced the
principles of Calvinism, and believed in the idea of predestination. They didn t believe in
the hierarchy and ceremony of the Anglican Church. However, the weren t radical
enough to want to split away from the Anglican Church. They believed that it could be
saved and reformed from within.
