I think that "There is a Whole World to Explore" is a good paper by Pamela Gardner. This paper was kind of long compared to the papers we been writing in class, but it is really an average paper length. I think this paper should get a 5.
The paper was very well written and put together very nice. It came together quite well. I thought it was going to be boring and hard to follow, but it really wasn’t. I usually would stop reading and start skimming through, but this paper kept me reading. It kept me interested and had me wanting to know more about the life in South America (Brazil and Argentina).
As I started to finish the first paragraph, I was really thinking if I was going to finish this paper. As I kept going, she pulled me in more talking about why she wanted to go to another country. She also was saying that it could be a life changing experience. When I heard those words I really keyed in to the paper. She was very specific and descriptive in this paper.
In the paper there were some spots that were not too clear. Maybe that she got too much into details that she lost focus of her main ideas, but it was still straight. I think that may have been her only negative. Well another negative she probably had was a few mechanical errors, but they weren’t really noticeable.
The paper was great overall, but the reason why I gave her a 5 is because it wasn’t superior. It was close, don’t get me wrong.

Very thoughtful. I especially like the point you make about keeping the reader interested in a longer paper. We need to remember that our readers need an occasional pay-off -- a surprise, a vivid description, a bit of humor -- to be willing to keep reading.
