Sample Papers on Sherman Alexie

After reading all three of the essays about Sherman Alexie's novel, I would have to say that the second one was the best written essay to me. The reason this one was good is because the person wrote the essay really good from the beginning to the end. Once I read the introduction I knew this was going to be a good essay because it grabbed my attention. The person did a good job of grabbing the attention and setting the tone of the essay. One thing this person could have done better is that they could have put in some quotes or facts directly from the book. This person didn't have any quotes or evidence from the book to back his thoughts and analysis up. Overall after reading this essay I would say that it is interesting than the other two essays because this one actually grabs your attention from the introduction. I also liked the theme he used for his essay which was survival. The paper s also very understandable and it's not a very complicated essay to read. The theme is easy to understand which is survival, so you obviously have a clear understanding of what the story is about. Mostly all his paragraphs are on topic and makes sense and neither one of them are off topic they all focus on his theme. Convincing wise I don't think this essay was much convincing like that but at the same time I don't think this writer was trying to convince anyone. The essay was mostly just stating the facts of how he survived through the camp and his school life basically. The topics sentences are pretty well developed and it gets the readers attention and makes it clear what this paragraph is going to be about. They didn't necessarily have evidence to back their topic sentence off , they did back it up but not with direct quotes or evidence from the book. Overall this person did write an good essay and his essay was interesting to read.
