Reflection on Spike TV Presents Europe: Uncensored and Uncut
This research paper is a combination of the Culturally Empowered Community Members, Effective Communicators, and Productive Individuals ESLR. This paper is part of the first one because I was able to add commentary about Europe’s past into the concrete facts about the why some those related parts of Europe were being satirized; it is evident of the Effective Communicators ESLR because I always was talking about what Swift was satirizing in his book, and internet sources were used to research information not available in books. The third ESLR is demonstrated through my use of only the needed facts from my sources to answer my thesis statement.
This essay had its strength in the fact that I was able to broadly identify every little topic in fifteenth century European society that Jonathan Swift was trying to attack in Gulliver’s Travels. My thesis was also very strong since it effectively pointed out what was going to be in the report. Yet its strength was also its weakness; although I identified every little strand of what was satirized, I was told that I should have elaborated more on the event in history that was being poked at. My writing style seemed to be attacked as I had made mistakes in punctuation, word usage, and in paragraph structure. The lesson learned from this paper is many facts have limited effectiveness if they are not elaborated upon.
