One of my comments
Sources used, but none of them are mentioned in the paper itself. Example is “Foss, Foss and Trapp say that a symbol is blah blah blah yadda yadda” Shows you used the source instead of pulling the knowledge from thin air.
Most of the comments on my paper are mostly just sentence revision and other grammar errors that I have made. After reading through both of my peer reviews the most common argument is about my sources. Even while i was writing the paper I knew that I had to use the sources somewhere, but I wasn't sure how. This comment helps me to realize how and my it is important to use my sources to their full potential. Without these sources some readers might think where did this come from or how did they get here. And because of this it is evident for me to correctly use them.

the definition of warrants has many different meanings, but the one with the most potential for our class is "the appeal to human motives that are an important part of any argument(pg#111). Any argument needs common ground and basically warrants are usually the common ground between the arguer and audience. Having warrants presence will make the audience feel more at "home" and also without the use of warrants the author will find it difficult to prove their point; especially without the proof.

  1. Yeah--I liked how you phrased it in class-how warrants are the glue holding together the claim and the support.
