crackit,

I was able to follow your reasoning; however, I did not know if it was an Analysis of Issue or Analysis or Argument. Kindly, please post the question next time when you want us to review your Essay.

Thanks.

I agree with the post above. The argument is nicely articulated; however, it lacks cohesiveness. I would suggest you follow some sort of template where you first outline the assumptions that can poke holes into the argument, then you use the present evidence to somewhat strengthen the argument and l...

Ami, You present solid ideas and reasoning to present your view-point. Your points are well articulated, but I would suggest that you apply Sentence Correction skills to your Essay.

Rahul, Nice essay; strong points; solid examples; however, I could not understand whether you agreed or disagreed with the present issue. Usually, I have noticed Kaplan, Princeton, and other books preach to explicitly state one's viewpoint in the opening paragraph as a thesis statement. You did ment...

Solid points of reasoning, but one thing you may want to imbibe is to apply the Sentence Correction skills to your essay. In addition, you may also want to make sure that in your essay you reproduce the correct name of the company or manufacturer. Certainly not anything less than 5. You're almost th...

please rate and point out corrections. Dude, I like your essay. Your thought process with the concrete examples are insightful. As others on the forum have suggested, if you could just cut down a little bit on the quantity and focus a little extra on quality, then 6 is within your reach. Best of Lu...

I would cut down on the amount of details presented in the Analysis of Issue Essay and try to limit the number of mistakes. Your thoughts are well-organized; however, it seems that you did not get the required time to spell-check or proof-read your essay. Quantity is not worth sacrificing the qualit...

Very nicely formulated ideas. I like how you started with an introductory sentence and later on presented the agree/disagreement part of the issue.

Also, the example cited proved the point that you were trying to make.

Why not C. My 2 cents: [C] is too extreme. Also, we're not talking about any proteins. We're specifically interested about those proteins which when taken either through skin or any other form does not get digested because if they do, then they do not reach their target cells. Also, removing any of...
