In the “On the Want of Money” by William Hazlitt, I wrote an essay about the text; which I did a decent job of describing the title, genre, author, date, position and strategies, but my strategies were too general; two strategies that I used for this essay were the concept of money and structure of the text, but after comparing and contrasting the three sample papers with my paper, I understood that in my introduction, I need to address better and more specific strategies that is being used in the text. In my body paragraphs, I did not have a clear topic sentence; “One of the strategies being used by Hazlitt is the structure of the text” rather I should have written more in debt and not just general topic sentence, “Hazlitt uses several syntactical strategies to convey his point about poverty.”(2A) My idea was not consistent and my analysis of evidence was not clear; I didn’t describe why the author used on his text, impact of it, and was misinterpreted, but I used text evidence in my essay and described each one of them. In conclusion, I did restate position and strategies of the writer, but I didn’t write a new creative may; for example, It is hard to be without money.
