This student essay was written for my ENG 1101 class in 2012. Note that this sample essay is good, quite good, but it is not perfect. I think that it may be instructive to study this essay in order to understand what a sincere and significant effort can produce. Please note my margin notes; I’ve put them on the essay to help you see where this writer faltered–where you can make improvements that this writer missed.
Best,
Prof. Scanlan
