Read and Review Three Essays

The three sample essays I chose to read were Conflicting First Impressions; Austen's Misleading Character Introductions and How They Affect the Reader, Character Introduction Through Bias or Subtlety and Freethinking: In Austen and Greene, and Finding Purpose in Character Introduction with Austen and Greene. The first one I read made a great and understandable claim that gossip and misleading first impressions are how Austen introduces her characters. I feel like the writer backed up his thesis with strong quotes and thorough analysis.  In the second essay the title appeared too wordy; however, in the essay itself was fairly good. The essay showed complexity between authors Austen and Greene. The reader can easily differentiate between the two authors' styles of writing. In the last essay, the thesis was basic and lacked complexity. The essay was great overall despite the simple title. The writer's points were pretty good especially when she mentions how Austen uses gossip almost as an independent, unseen character. My favorite essay so far has to be the first one because this essay was easy to read and yet made you think after reading it.
