Purpose, Audience, Genre
Purpose: The purpose of this essay, according to the assignment given, is to review and evaluate this film. I think I succeeded at this assignment by providing examples that backed up my evaluation of this movie. Audience: The audience of this essay is the viewers of this movie. However, anybody could follow along with my essay, even if they didn't watch the film. Genre: The genre of this essay is an evaluation. An evaluation is, in other words, a judgement. We evaluate things on daily basis and sometimes probably don't even know it! When we recommend a restaurant, or a doctor's office, we're evaluating. According to our textbook for the class, an evaluation needs to have a description of the subject, clearly defined criteria, a knowledgeable discussion of the subject, fair assessment, and well-supported reasons. I believe I have included all these requirements:

Evaluation of Essay
Our assignment was to evaluate the film using logical, and objective criteria. While keeping in mind the criteria I had to follow, I chose a film that I had never seen to keep my opinion at bay. I believe the strongest part of my essay is when I provide examples of how specific details of creating Facebook were shared throughout the movie. I had a lot to work with on this reason! For example, I used the example of how the movie let viewers see how Mark Zuckerburg acted as a college student and didn't just show him as the technological genus that everybody knows him as. On the other hand, I had a much more troubling time trying to support my reason of how the movie keep viewers interested to finish the film. There is one good supporting feature that goes along with this reason, that being the awesome flashbacks and scene changes. These flashbacks help viewers understand what is really going on and keeps them up-to-date. |
Revision Notes
This essay freaked my out a little, as I wasn't sure of what my professor was looking for with this being my first essay for this class. After the revision of my essay by my peers, I fixed some grammar errors and also tried to add more support to my body paragraphs. |
