ENG 2100: Writing 1 with Jay Thompson

Eryk Trela-Reading Responses (10/12)

1-Hengel’s method may help me and others with writing a claim or an argument. Hengel’s organization will ultimately benefit from the analysis aspect. Hengel begins with a macro question and continually answers the macro question with micro questions throughout the essay. Meaning you start off with writing your point within his piece, and that point is continually answered over and over again through analysis. This may cause issues when it comes to writing the piece, the continual micro question may sound repetitive.

 

2- Author Abdurraqib completely answers Hengel’s question about his topic, involving Carly Rae Jepsen by disputing the potential defeat of not making it onto the Billboard charts. This matters a lot in that industry because not making the chart means that your musical piece has very few listeners. Hengel eventually claims “EMOTION has been critically adored, despite the disappointing sales totals”(25). Moving on, Abdurraqib’s works with FUTURE, who had written an album about the heartbreak he’d experienced and the failure he’d become. Mentioning the use of drugs to help grief in his situation. This is how it leads to in-depth understanding and analysis.
