The first paragraph of the essay is excellent. I am impressed by how you introduce the scene, particularly the descriptive language utilized. As someone reads through, he or she can get a clear picture of what is happening. This is essential because it affirms the effectiveness of the writing style and language mastery. Another aspect that I like is the use of dialogue in the first paragraph. This gives the prose variation and creativity. However, I do not like how you started the second paragraph.
Using the phrase “according to my experience” seems redundant. The statement sounds vague and unattractive. I would have preferred if you would have eliminated the phrase “according to my experience.” This would make the reading flow well and remain impressive for the reader. Above all, I like how you narrate your experience throughout the essay. Your writing style is outstanding to a large extent. There is a proper variation of sentences and application of different stylistic devices. The use of dialogue makes the reader get a gist of what was taking place.
However, I am concerned with the use of bold in the statement “truly human.” I think this is drawing unnecessary attention from the reader. When one peruses through the essay, the phrase “truly human” takes all their attention. I would have preferred if you just used normal text without bold. Another aspect is the use of long paragraphs. Some of the paragraphs have more than 150 words.
