Response To Summer Nassar's Essay 'Transcendentalism Today'

"Transcendentalism Today" is an excellently written essay by Summer Nassar. She twists and constructs her words in such a way that the reader gets informed from all angles. She built her paragraph structures according to guidelines and had a concise thesis. She began her introductory paragraph with a spicy paraphrased topic sentence; which she provided citations. She intwines a nice gist of background infomation for the average person who may or may not have knowledge on the topic at hand.

Throughout her entire paper, each paragrpah correlated with her main focus and didn't waver from the central idea. I admired her use of different writing methods in her paragraphs to explain supporting points to the readers. On the contrary,
I do think that she could have switched up the endings in each paragraph and included a transitional word to help the flow of contents. Most of her paragrpahs were well planned out, however I feel that she did not need to quote or cite someone in nearly every paragraph. Yes, this does back up her inital claim, but that does not mean to go overboard. Summer's thesis statement is clear and evident within the contexts. She states that transcendentalist beliefs are seen in movies such as Wall-e, The Lorax, and the Democratic belief system.

This essay really opened my eyes to a new horizon due to the fact that I had little to no prior knowledge regarding this sunject, I enjoyed being walked throught the facts about transcendtalism and the different ways it shines in our world. All in all, Summer showcased her thoughts clearly and efficently throughout her paper on Transcendtalism.
