Improvements can be made in my essay in the areas of word choice and conventions. Throughout the essay, some words were used that should not have been. Above all, the biggest problem in this essay is the absence of a second counter argument. I was only able to write one body paragraph for the counter arguments, instead of two. In the future, I must improve on my conclusion and always keep it open. A small word choice error that can be improved is using the word “altered” instead of the word “made” with regards to my sentence about life being altered by multiple people. Another major problem that needs to be improved is the pronoun agreements, such as writing “their” or “they” instead of “his or her.” Improving on these conventions will only make my essay stronger and will receive a higher grade.…

I think that no matter what…
Hi, Kate! I think your piece is very well written and I love that you include how cognitive development in childhood, especially the first 5 years, is crucial. In the story of child neglect, this is apparent when Danielle, after being adopted and put into a school, is behind her peers to the point that she needs to have her own speech therapist and teacher. Danielle's lack of relationship with her birth mother was definitely another environmental factor that slowed her cognitive development. Without proper relationships, as you mentioned, crucial brain development periods can be affected. For me, seeing the neglect story definitely helped solidify this topic and showed the devastating results neglect can have on a…
A thesis statement takes a clear position on an issue. This is different from normal topic sentences because the thesis statement cannot be neutral. This is your own opinion that you intend to back up (think of it like a debate). The thesis statement is your reason and motivation for writing. A non-thesis thesis does none of these things.…
