Examples of Critical Review Essay Writing Samples
Examples of Critical Review Essay Writing SamplesIn college, writing for a magazine like The Student Press would have been considered a basic and necessary function of the writer. Some students, however, write reviews of books they didn't even read because they assume that people who liked the book, won't care if the reviewer gives them a negative review. After all, those who 'really read' the book will probably also have read the reviewer's positive review, thus preserving any bias that could possibly make their own opinion seem biased.Unfortunately, the reviewer has no idea what the book is really like; no one reading a book would expect him to simply summarize it or give his thoughts without actually reading it. In fact, some books are so difficult that only a person who really wanted to know how to read it would be able to find the time to do so. And with the rising price of education, student writers of these critical reviews are becoming more common, thanks to the economic down turn and lack of employment opportunities for those who did not finish college.When choosing which writing samples to use in your review, you will want to look for one that you can relate to; one that you would imagine yourself doing. Or better yet, one that you would wish to do! If you enjoy reading and enjoying books, you may wish to choose a sample that would include a variety of different genres and subject matter. For example, a health book on the philosophy of love, a book about medicine and how it relates to our minds, and a book that could be described as a romance book that explores the importance of personal responsibility.For example, a romance book about a young woman, who is in search of the perfect job, could be described as a work ethic story. Also, a book about the relationship between a man and his daughter, could be described as a father and daughter drama. So to create a great example, pick a book that you have previously enjoyed, or think that you would enjoy if you were to try to write a critical review. Choose a book that is well written, but with a message or theme that speaks to you in some way.Additionally, a book with a strong writing style, using clear language, could be a work ethic story. A book that don't follow a plot line, that is full of different ideas that really relate to your life, and that includes information about a big life issue, could be a life story. However, don't limit yourself to a single genre, or trying to be 100% perfect, since this only makes you look dishonest.Finally, consider how long you have been writing for, and how much experience you have in reviewing books. You might find that if you were to write an essay, for example, that would have a slightly longer length than a critical review essay. With experience, you would be able to convey the same ideas that you want to convey with a book review, while also presenting yourself in a manner that shows you are intelligent and articulate. Remember, reviewers a re there to analyze, not to be right.So when you choose your work, you should be writing from a place of work ethic, and an awareness of the things you like about a book, and the things you don't like about it. This will create a great example and make it easier for the reviewer to understand your writing.
