Response to Entangling Roots

This essay may not agree with how I feel on the standpoint of online games, but I still do like how it was written. I liked it because it was very informative with a lot of sources, making it something worth reading. Without sources, no paper is really worth reading because the credibility is always in question. Also, the author was very short and to the point with his arguments which is a style of writing that I enjoy reading. I tend to get lost in the really descriptive writings of some authors because I lose track of what the paper or story is about. Finally, I like this writing because it has come from a student. You don’t get to hear or read students perspectives as much in a classroom situation and this was a pleasant change to that. This student was rewarded for his strong argument by making it into the book with many other well known authors.

This essay has many traits that show how good it is. The argument that the author brings up is a strong one with support coming from many different people. He sticks to the one side of his argument throughout the paper which keeps his argument at a very strong level. Also, grammatical errors cannot be noticed in the reading showing that our writer is very good at checking over his papers. The overall ideas of the paper flow very nicely through the paper and allow for a very easy read.
