Thank you!
"Why do people give this woman the status of cultural critic? My high-school children write better essays than this.
How to write an essay:
1) Come up with a thesis
2) Support the thesis with arguments
3) 3-4 paragraphs
4) conclude by reminding reader of arguments.
Does she grade essays of her students? What are her standards? You get an A if your essay is idiotic, pointless, and has no valid or sensible arguments?"
This is what I'm saying. Any essay this blathering, unsupported, and structureless would receive a "C" in the Ivy League "University Writing" course that I teach. I can't imagine how this woman is a published academic.
