Commentary.
Commentary is a vital piece of an essay. Although it is the most challenging to write, it's what makes the reader enthusiastic, eager to argue his opinion with the writer's. Since commentary is a product of one's thoughts, he really has to dig deep and ponder the story as a whole. However, it is just a brief comment, or summary, of what was read so keep it simple yet sophisticated. After all, commentary is the meat of the entire essay, so make it juicy.

I agree completely except i think commentary is never a summary. In my opinion summary is for book reports and ones thoughts are for an analysis.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Commentary is a very important part of the essay. I guess I should have by now, but I never really thought about it making the reader want to argue his opinion with the writer's opinion. I guess I just read what they have to say and take it as their opinion and not think anything else. By the way, I love what you said about the commentary being the meat of the entire essay! : )
