“Tell me more, tell me more…!”

-“Summer Nights” from the musical/movie “Grease” 

Musicals are not the subject of this post; however, one could say that telling people more is. Looking at the feedback that I got from Steph, it looks like I need to be a little more specific in giving feedback to other writers in order to make it really clear what the author needs to do in order to improve their paper. Simple adjectives are good for giving the author a general feel of what feelings and impressions they have left the reader with, but the specifics let the author know what exactly they did in order to achieve those effects. Another way to improve my feedback skills is to focus on what questions (if there are any…in this case there are) are being asked and answering them. Irony is not a narrative thread—according to Steph it is a rhetorical strategy. So by “narrative thread” Steph means a “theme”, and so the theme would be understanding and disproving stereotypes. Other than being more specific with examples and understanding if there are specific ideas that need to be addressed in the feedback, I feel that my feedback is just fine—it shows my ideas and understanding of the paper.
