Commentary for Natasha Marsh

Overall, I thought she did a good job with her paper. Maybe putting some background information about the author would be a good idea to add. I like how she gave information on waterboarding and why it is used. In the second paragraph, second sentence, she says "...word choice, and other textual cues." If I'm not mistaken there was a typo with cues and it should be turned into clues. I think maybe she could give more examples from the writing and maybe strengthen up her paragraph about logos. I also think Natasha should use examples of opposing views to help her argument. Her conclusion paragraph should be stronger and maybe sum up her point of view and Hitchens' article more. I like how she explained what each strategy of ethos, pathos, and logos does and gives good examples of each throughout her essay. I thought her essay clearly got her point across and was overall well written.
