X is for Xander

After reading 3 more college essays, X for Xander truly stood out to me

  • First, the author's witty title completely what the author will state in the future
  • This essay really stood out to me because of the style of writing... I like the way the author introduced the essay by setting the scene
  • The author sticks with his/her point that he/she states in the introduction and analyzes and expands that point 
  • The author understands how to engage the reader
  • After reading the intro paragraph, I wanted to read more rather than wanting to stop (as I felt with other college essays)
  • Overall, I thought the structure and writing of this essay was a really interesting and fresh outlook on writing and I think the writer did a great job on analyzing and expanding on each point that he/she made.
