Analysis Of Still Choosing The F Word By Anna Quindlen

In my opinion, "Still Needing the F Word" by Anna Quindlen (PAGE 305) is the most effective paragraph in Chapter 30. The author intrigues the readers by beginning her essay with an interesting topic. I think that beginning an essay with a topic that catches the audience's eye would cause them to actually want to read the essay. If people find something boring they often stop reading it, so provoking their interest would increase the chance of them reading the entire essay. Although the writer of this paragraph succeeded in capturing the reader's full attention, it may have been better if she showed less of her opinion in the essay. The way she worded the essay was slightly aggressive and it may cause a person to think her essay was biased, rather than based on reliable

It also gives the audience the main points of your essay, so there is really no need for them to continue reading. People often like surprises and are more likely to read a whole essay if they are fascinated by the topic and suspense. To make their introduction stronger, they could have shortened the introduction by putting less details into it to make it more dramatic. According to Singer's introduction, their essay would cover duty of U.S. immigrants in the U.S. labor market. In these paragraphs, the thesis is placed in the end of the last paragraph of the introduction. This thesis is not argumentative because it says, "This analysis puts a spotlight on immigrant workers to examine their basic trends in the labor force and how these workers fit into specific industries and occupations of interest." The author's thesis is just telling the audience what the essay is about and not giving their opinion about the topic, therefore, there is nothing to agree or disagree
