The Review of The Analytics

Students were tasked with choosing between multiple stories and diving deeper into them. While looking for two outside scholarly sources, students must find the author’s critique of society hidden throughout the chosen texts. I decided on Macado’s “Eight Bites,” which was quite simple because I found it much more interesting than the other stories. The Audience which would be reading my essay would be the two professors and my peers who were tasked with the same objective. The purpose was to inform the uninformed audience about the connection between “Eight Bites” and Freud’s “Five Lectures on Psych-analytics.”  It was also done to show the author’s, in my case, Machado’s, critique of society. I wrote this essay for multiple reasons, the main one being that it was mandatory, but it allowed me to see how much I’ve grown as a writer.

From the start of writing essays this semester, there has been a large gap between my work’s clarity and content. Just reading my first work, which was the painting analysis to reading the CRA, anyone could see the difference; it’s night and day. My CRA was on “Eight Bites,” and the critique that I found was that harmful beauty standards could lead to the deterioration of the mind and the connections to loved ones. With the CRA, I could now spread the word about this problem. My audiences were my two professors and my peers, but I also had to write in a manner that they didnt know anything about Freud and Machado. I had chosen “Eight Bites,” and very few students chose the story alongside me, so when push came to shove, I had to make sure my audience knew what the hell I was trying to portray. Due to the peer reviews we’ve attended, I had many people give me thoughts on what I should fix and how to elevate my work to another level. I genuinely think this is one of the better pieces of writing I have produced this semester. I tried to sound confident and knowledgeable while not giving up my personality and sounding like a robot. This assignment proves my hard work and the growth in my FIQWS class. Thank you, Elisabeth Von Uhl.
