I will prove my thesis by examining his use of examples and showing factual data and statistics‚ but also show how this article could have been better. Mantsios believes that people in the United States do not like

Your personal statement was amazing and after reading it I must say you put my writing to shame. It is clear that you are a strong writer and everything you said especially‚ “I want to be up in front of a room of hungry eyes” were great choices.
