Nadia Dawson

English 101

Assignment 7



            After we watch the clip from 60 Minutes, I have come to realize that detail and attention to everything around a topic is very important. We discussed all of the different people left out of the story and all of the different pieces of evidence left out of the story. We weren’t able to process what really happened or judge anything simply because of the lack of detail provided. I’ve learned that now for my research paper, I need to go in-depth with everything. I need to get things together so my reader isn’t left in the dark by other details. The full story needs to be told from every angle, or it is a bias story. The 60 Minutes clip made it seem like the girl was the victim. Granted she might have been the victim, the storyline left the viewer’s solely open to her point of view and no one else’s which made it bias and sort of unreliable. I now have come to realize that everything is just as important as the part you are trying to prove. It would make your paper more reliable, and it would make it a great paper.

  1. This just isn't quite enough to earn you more than a check minus, Nadia, since you are very general here about what you noticed. What do you mean by "in-depth" with everything? What have you already considered? And what will you consider? (These are things the assignment asked you for!)
