Meaning

OK. So I get the literal part... surprisingly. And i get what you mean bout the feeling. But How are you supposed to phrase it so that it is not choppy and sounding personal or redundant. I know that you are not supposed to say " ... leaving the reader feeling______." I know that is wrong, but how do you convey the information more discretely?? Any suggestions?

Good question...it is a trick of talented writers!!

But seriously, you're right when you say it's wrong to say "leave the reader feeling." The trick is just to say it. Make the points your addressing fact. Just write down what you want to say. Move on. Then go back to it. Don't force anything.

I tried.... it seems very wrong. I am an example learner, and since we did not exactly get an example full written essay, I had to improvise. Im not sure if its what you are looking for, but I guess I will find out soon enough. I do think you should critically grade it, but leniently grade it considering it is the first essay ( Isnt that an oxymoron....) See you tomorrow!
