My Overall Goal
This essay focuses on the impact of coronavirus on the lives of individuals affected and also the family and friends of infected population. The population in China is having physical, psychological and health effects that affect their normal activities and operations. People are suffering from health effects of the disease, have fear of the future and is affecting their mental state due to lack of peace of mind. I touch on both of these giving a brief summary so the reader could get a sense of where the information was coming from. I explain this throughout the essay, mentioning their opinion.

Feedback: A rating form 1-5, 5 being the most successful writing paper. I would rate this intro and conclusion a one. This is because they did not give a detailed background for their discourse community as well, they did not mention the position they are in from this community.
Provide a critique and question. You presented your observation without explicitly attempting to argue against, find a gap, raise a question, or continue a tradition.
Remove rhetorical questions. So, right here I felt like as a reader I was left hanging. When writing an essay, if you ask questions you want to answer them as you ask them and make it obvious that you are answering those questions.
Name articles, authors and page numbers. The author included three different sources and analyzed their information, but does not introduce the name of the article. I was a bit confused by this.
Provide reason for analyzing the specific group. I am kind of curious about why you want to research this particular group of people.
Organization
My Overall Goal
For the research, I choose to write on a point by point method that is by mentioning one impact and how it affects the population, followed by another. A reviewer stated that my introduction requires a description of the reason for the choice of the topic and the sample population. Hence, I need to fix the introduction.
Structure- The structure of my essay is fine for the most part, i just need to do some moving around so things make more sense. Doing point by point helped me organize my thoughts by grouping ideas together. – Organize thoughts
