The Compare/Contrast Essay has been the most difficult one for me to develop. The first problem I had was to identify the three readings I wanted to compare and contrast. Finally I decided to use Cutler's "Whodunit-The media", Goldwasser's "What's the matter with kids Today" and Penrod's "Anti-Intelectualism". The reason why I chose these articles is that I was able to find at the first moment and link between them: teenagers. As a former High School teacher I felt identified with the issues involving young adults, but when I tried to make comparisons between different ideas in the articles it was not easy to back them with consistent evidence. On the other hand, I found easier to make connections when contrasting the opinions of the three authors.
Moreover, the grammar part and structure of the paper is a difficult task I feel I still have trouble with the use of connectors and transitions which makes my writing a little monotonous and perhaps boring. That's the consequence of making direct translations from Spanish into English. Finally, in this paper I was able to improve my citations, although there were some in-text errors.
