My body paragraphs had weak thesis stattements and it became very repetitive as my only claim consisted of how the author evoked emotions from the audience. All the paragraphs had great pieces of evidence, but the fact that my only intention was to persuade my readers on Matheson's usage of rhetorical devices, I never got to elucidate the message and monster of the novel.
The thesis statement was incomplete and invalid due to pathos being the main focal of my essay. I clearly did not fully understand the prompt for my first draft and continued on addressing the audience's evoked emotions rather than discussing the genre and Matheson's internal message in the novel.
My overall essay was very weak and clearly did not oblige to the prompt given. The essay was so repetitive and there were never any strong claims nor connections. It did not showcase any scholarly critical thinking or my comprehension of the course. Additionally, my conclusion was boring as it just gave the readers a recap of my ideas. Again, it was repetitive and sounded very unfinished.
