group 2

When it comes to putting the materials and elements together for a paper there are many things you need besides the topic. It’s the same for putting together a car. You not only need the brand and the name and the engine, one also needs the wheels, the paint job, the interior design, and the steering wheel. Your essay is not going to catch eyes with just text, your not going to win a prize for your big words and definitions alone. The author needs to include eye catching parts to create an image for their essay.

One of the things that Nicholas Carr gave to his essay to capture the reader was that he created a unique title, that drew attention and gave the reader the question, “um, I wonder that this is about?” which made them read on. Another thing that Nicholas Carr did with the essay was that he quoted from the movie Space Odyssey 2001 which gave the reader a familiar feeling and comfortable about maybe what the material is about. This gave the reader even more reason to read on.

As a reader would follow on in the essay they see that there is not only very good research, but also very good visual aid. He gave a picture which gave a visual picture in the readers mind to see what the author is talking about, and help understand his topic. Later on I saw also that he would use big letters to start off a new part of the topic in the essay. This is very good because it lets the reader know that they have completed a thought of the essay and it helps them connect it to the next part. It can also be seen as a check point in the writing, showing that they have gotten such far and has such and such more to go, before all date is collected.
