First, read a draft of an essay, "Two Critiques of Imperialism." This essay was written in response to an assignment asking the writer to examine how Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels use the strengths of their respective genres to critique imperialism.
Revise the essay to make it clearer and more persuasive. Try to make the use of rhetorical devices more effective, the tone more consistent, and the transitions more organized.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
A clear introduction with a persuasive thesis statement
Clear, concise supporting reasons that convincingly defend the thesis
Well-written commentary to defend your reasons and evidence
Appropriate transitions between and within paragraphs
A concluding paragraph that recaps main points and makes the essay feel finished
At least one trope and one scheme
